[quote]So I guess you can quibble with my wording, but what I meant is it's not a desperate hospital situation here in Arlington right now. And I don't think kids' activities are going to be the tipping point, esp. as many others have pointed out when we haven't taken other drastic steps like closing indoor dining.[b] Which, by the way, I won't eat indoors right now, but I will let my kids play basketball with masks on[/b].

This pretty much says it all about Arlington parents. PP will protect themselves by not eating indoors, but will force coaches, refs and others to face additional exposure by forcing them to hold games. Selfish.[/quote]

Because you can wear a mask indoors while playing, but you can't while eating! Honestly, people.

And anyone who thinks this closure, once it happens, "will only last two weeks," is kidding themselves.

Also, I think this is a fair question: Which is more likely?
a) this two week closure of a small, select set of activities that largely affect teens in Arlington will result in a saved life from COVID
b) this significant disruption, yet again, to "normal" activities for our teens will harm mental health and increase depression and the risk that one of our teens will commit suicide

From my perspective, "B" is much more likely, and it's not even close.[/quote]
