[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm very liberal and pro-vaxx but I also agree with some of what you said, OP. Or at least I can see where you're coming from. I think the restrictions that have been placed on kids have been truly ridiculous. I think every adult should be vaxxed and boosted and every eligible child should get vaccinated. I think people should wear masks when case counts get high or in areas where medically vulnerable are (hospitals, Dr.'s offices). But I don't understand or agree w masks in schools and childcare settings anymore at this point when all childcare workers and teachers and many of the kids themselves can be vaxxed. I do think the restrictions of masks and extended/recurrent periods of isolation/quarantine are damaging to all kids' social development and also to academic/language development for very young kids. Virtual school is NOT good for most kids that I've seen. Kids haven't been able to have normal childhood experiences--school, activities, birthday parties and playdates, other social experiences. I think we should be more like most European countries that have never closed primary and secondary schools or stopped kids' activities, don't require masks for kids. The kids have been done a huge disservice this whole pandemic.

I don't know where in the US you can go to get away from it unless you're OK being around MAGA people and/or anti-vaxx people. I dislike that extreme even more than the liberal Covid nuts. So I'd personally rather be in a very restrictive area than an anti-vaxx area. I wish there weren't just those 2 extremes. If there was a place where people were liberal, smart, pro-vaxx but also didn't want to shut everything down and wear masks forever, I'd go there in a heartbeat. But is there a place like that? Everywhere I know of is 1 extreme or the other. [/quote]

We are moving to Europe in large part because of the extreme Covid policies for young children in DC and also because of the crime here. [/quote]

I hear Eastern Europe is a great place to be right now.[/quote]
