100% yes[/quote]

Yep x2. [/quote]

same[/quote]

I am ok with it right now and they can start tomorrow as far as I am concerned. Zero concerns

They could have the kids cough into each other’s faces every morning and I would still gladly send my kids. Covid is less dangerous for kids than just about any of the other illnesses that go around every year, and now that all the adults in our orbit have been vaccinated, I could not care less if my kids get Covid.[/quote]

How fortunate for you that your kids don't have underlying health risks that make getting severely ill from COVID more likely.  Maybe you could consider other kids who have different risk factors?[/quote]

Yeah, my 9 year old was diagnosed with “unspecified depression” and has suicidal ideation.  He loves going to school in person and it makes his interventions so much easier.  There are LOTS of kids with underlying conditions.  Stop acting like everyone who wants to go back is a bad guy.[/quote]

I am truly sorry that your child faces depression.  I know from personal and family member experience that is challenging, to say the least.  I posted my (admittedly snarky) comment because I find it immensely frustrating that people continue making the blanket (and inaccurate) assertion that COVID is less dangerous for kids.  That is an absolute statement that is simply false.  COVID is less dangerous for [b]a lot[/b] of kids (maybe even most), but certainly not [b]all [/b]kids.  Continuing to assert the absolute "COVID is less dangerous for kids" is simply false and implies that kids with health conditions do not exist, or are invisible to those who continue to make this claim.
