[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nearly every parent I know with young children across multiple states has had covid in the last few months and every single case they (in their own words) have traced back to their kids' daycare.

That isn't because the daycares or the employees are at fault, though they might have been. It's not because of other parents, although that's a factor too. It's the nature of this illness. It's contagious. It spreads. Even in the best of times, kids are germ factories. Put a bunch of them together and they get sick, they pass along illness, etc.

I hope none of you have to see what mis-c does to a five-year-old's heart like my friend in New York. I wish more of you were concerned.

I suspect a lot of you, like the woman who keeps advocating for daycares to drop mask requirements, are used to living in a world that you control. Parenting will never completely be that world. Neither will a global pandemic. You're going to have to let go of that and acknowledge that everyone is struggling to keep their family safe and their children developing. Sometimes there are no good choices, there is only doing the least harm to the most people. Please try and keep that in mind. [/quote]

Stop with the scare tactics! Your language assumes it’s all five year olds.  That is a very rare occurrence. Wow! ALMOST ALL five year olds hardly get a symptom and could run a marathon.  I do believe we should mask up and children should be vaccinated but stop with the fear mongering and stick to the facts.[/quote]
