[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. So anyone else with young kids really struggling to decide what to do? I could keep my kid home but it would be very hard. But it feels selfish not to, at least for a few more weeks. [/quote]

I'm keeping her home. I just called it when I realized that the main compelling reason not to was to avoid discomfort and embarrassment on my part. (This is in our specific situation.)

Now, I've never been terribly afraid of the consequences of her getting covid (she's 8)-- and especially less so now that she's vaccinated. Although things like what's discussed in this thread have always been in the back of my mind when I said "We don't know the long term consequences and I'd rather avoid it."

But it's just not worth it for me to send her to school on Monday, even just considering she could help spread it at her school and in the vulnerable community if she does get it. Im betting on the fact that her school will likely go virtual in a week or so anyway. But either way, I can always change my mind and send her back at any time. If she gets COVID, which she would not be unlikely to, I can't take that back. And though I'm sure she'll catch it one day, and I've made peace with that, I'd rather that happen during a time that not literally almost everyone is getting it. [/quote]

Covid isn’t going to disappear. At some point in their life they’ll probably get covid.[/quote]
