[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No.  I’m sorry your neighbors are bad parents but please stand firm.  A little girl from DS’s school as just diagnosed with COVID 19.  Her parents were very “relaxed” about social distancing and accused everyone else of “catastrophizing”.  The father has it, too.

Lots of people are going to get it. We are just trying to not all get it at once but it is expected and necessary that some people get it now - we are just spreading the infections over time. [/quote]

I don't want to get it. Sorry. It looks horrible even for people who get it and never go to the hospital. I don't want to feel like hell for a couple of weeks and then spend the next couple of weeks regaining my strength. No thanks. Plus they think there are long lasting effects on various parts of the body.

Again, no thank you. I'm hoping not to get it.[/quote]

I'm not getting into the whole neighborhood kid issue, but please understand that the odds are that you will be exposed no matter what we do.  All evidence suggests that this virus isn't going away.  Social distancing is NOT about eradication of the virus which only vaccination could achieve.  It's about avoiding overwhelming the hospital system at one time and buying time for medical treatment research and advancements.  I wish more people understood this because I'm concerned that when we do relax restrictions and people interact again, and inevitably some managed number of people will get sick (which the CDC understands and accepts will happen), that people will mistakenly think social distancing at this point in time was unnecessary or false advertising as eliminating risk.
