[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Sorry, the children most at risk from covid are ages 0-4. [/b]I would take a minor speech delay over this any day.

My child had a speech delay 15 years ago. He didn't speak till he was 2.5. Not only did he "survive," he thrived. He is on the debate team and Model UN now.

People acting like speech delays are worse than illness remind me of the folks who don't vaccinate because they are afraid of autism. Nonsensical and offensive.[/quote]

You should consider withdrawing your kids from society entirely if you can’t tolerate the risk level that 0-4 kids are at right now. They are extremely low risk. Additionally, things like the flu and RSV are of comparable risk to that age group and we’ve been living with those forever.

More likely it is that you just do not understand risk calculations but either way, you’re incorrect here. People are rightfully concerned about possible inadvertent effects of overusing masks.[/quote]

You are entirely missing the point.  Talking at 2.5 is no big deal compared to my kid BUT, this poster is 100% right and my kid is also doing great.  Some kids just talk later.

I think you need to be very cautious with kids unlike that poster as its not just the risk to kids but the entire family.  However, this isn't causing speech delays as much as people are saying.  Kids talk when they are ready.[/quote]
