[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bear in mind that this virus is seasonal. It’s going to be safer to be out and about in the summer. Cases will go to in the fall and there isn’t likely to be a vaccine for babies and toddlers in the fall so expect fall to be worse as far as being covid safe. You are likely committing to being locked down for 6-8 months. Are you ok with that?

To me, I would get out now while cases are low. [/quote]

Where do you see “lock down”?  Everyone is outside and seeing vaccinated friends.  I don’t consider not taking my toddler to the grocery store “locked down”.  We’re hiking, swimming, just got back from two weeks on the beach, having cookouts and play dates, seeing grandparents and aunts inside.  Eating in outdoor restaurants.  We’re “out”.  [/quote]

Not a lot of good words for this concept. Maybe “restricted” is a better word. Your three year old isn’t hanging with any other kids was the gist I got, am I wrong? You mention play dates.

Anyway my point is there isn’t any better time than now to loosen up. People who say they will in fall...I do not get that. [/quote]

They assume their kid will be vaccinated in a few months time. For now they can enjoy outdoor play spaces. That said, the former is a big assumption.

“ Children should not be vaccinated for the moment. There is not yet enough evidence on the use of vaccines against COVID-19 in children to make recommendations for children to be vaccinated against COVID-19. Children and adolescents tend to have milder disease compared to adults. However, children should continue to have the recommended childhood vaccines.”

Several countries are recommending against the vaccine for 12-17 year olds. CDC meeting about myocarditis risk in 12-17 y/o males today. The vaccine may not be recommended for kids who are not high risk. No respiratory virus has been eradicated in the last 130 years. We need to learn to live with this. There are vaccines for high risk adults and evolving treatments as well.[/quote]
