[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unless my kid is exhibiting symptoms, my kid going to school.

It is no worse than influenza except for when it is worse than influenza.[/quote]

I'm honestly most worried about young people because they have so much more of their lives to live.  Every time they get Covid-19 there is a chance that they will get some of the long term symptoms. How is that going to affect my child's ability to finish their education?  How will repeated infections affect my child's long term health?

It now looks like Epstein-Barr triggers Multiple Sclerosis... what could multiple Covid-19 infections turn out to trigger decades down the line?  [b]Why would I sign up to run that risk over and over again?

Oh, I don't know, because you might enjoy socializing, seeing faces, and breathing without obstructed airflow?

Do you think we should all wear masks beginning in infancy to  spare us the 0.03 percent chance of getting MS?[/quote]

Honestly, I mostly want better, healthier air quality.  We could be improving ventilation and filtering the air in public spaces... that would help us all reduce the number of times any of us get sick.  With Covid or Flu or RSV or any other airborne disease.[/quote]

As someone with asthma that is triggered by a variety of allergies, I’m certainly not going to argue against improved air quality, but it’s not going to change anything that I do.

I’m going to do my part here. I’m done testing my kids for covid. If they’re not sick, they’re going to school. If they do get sick, they’ll stay home while they have symptoms. And if I somehow end up learning they have covid, I’m certainly not going to tell the school.

It would be a waste of everyone’s time to try to get them to wear masks anyway. It took a solid 18+ months of work to get one of my kids to wear a mask at all. He hasn’t worn one in a long time, and I’m sure won’t go back to it willingly. And he’s more stubborn than the Covidians are scared, so I know who would win the masking battle.[/quote]

Can you please just keep your kid home when your kid is sick and infectious?[/quote]

Can you use your reading skills?  She said she did. You just want to try to shame people. You’re going to have to try a lot harder these days. [/quote]
