[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wouldn't, but I've been fully vaccinated since February and still won't eat indoors at a restaurant. [/quote]

OP, please don't listen to people like this. They have truly lost their minds and may never be OK again.

Of course I would let my kids eat at a restaurant under the circumstances you describe - and I have been, for many months, long before I was fully vaxxed.

I have not lost my mind. I am a scientist and I listen to public health experts, but understand that there are others who feel comfortable eating in restaurants since they've been vaccinated. With that said, why endanger your children like this? The children don't have a choice and look to us to make the safest and best choices for them. They are not vaccinated and there are plenty of places to dine outdoors.[/quote]

"Endanger" your children?  Yes, you've lost your mind. And I don't believe for a minute that you have anything close to a real science degree.[/quote]

Why would you think there is no risk to children (who cannot be vaccinated yet) being indoors, unmasked, with other random unmasked people? Cases are not so low in Northern Virginia that I would do this.[/quote]

260 kids have died of Covid in the US. In 2009 1200 kids died of the flu. Of course there is still risk. But hospitalizations and deaths should be the metrics driving mandates once everyone over 16 can access the vaccine. Keep your kids in as long as you want. Others will make a different but very reasonable choice that’s in line with the risks we all take every day.[/quote]
