everyone will get it eventually.  vaccines aren't designed to prevent infections.  that's been news for like six months or so.  vaccines prevent severe cases in most cases.  you're stuck in march 2020.[/quote]

So why the rush to get it ASAP?

No rush to get it. Most people are just treating it like the flu or any other coronavirus now, considering the less than flu level risk for vaccinated adults and unvaccinated children.

If it was up to some people, we'd be taking tests every day and locking down for new variants for the rest of our lives. Not going to happen.

It's funny that some people think that by not eating at a restaurant, they can avoid a highly transmissible respiratory virus that hangs in the air for hours.  Or better yet,[b] that giving up 2+ years of your life, especially your children's childhood, is worth it to avoid less than a flu level risk[/b].[/quote]

That is called "coronaphobia" and there are multiple medical articles on it. It seems to be prominent among wealthy people with far-left views, like a number of Arlingtonians.  [/quote]

So you think it is funny that my under 5 year old has health conditions which make him at risk for serious COVID complications. My older kids eating lunch outside is such a small price to pay for anyone's health.  Not to mention the kids get more recess time with outdoor lunch.  (They can play when they're done eating as opposed to waiting for everyone to finish before the class goes outside).

Only in super red states would I be considered liberal, but keep it up with your assumptions and narrowmindedness.  [/quote]

COVID will be here forever. You act like it will be eradicated. It will not. In fact, everyone will get it.

And we have procedures in place for immunocompromised people for bad flu seasons too.  Did you demand such procedures for bad flu seasons too?

The only narrowmindedness is acting like COVID will be eradicated.[/quote]

Notice this person is not demanding these draconian restrictions on adults, only children. Very sick[/quote]

Draconian? Drama queen much?

Adults are not required to be in packed schools in the middle of a pandemic with a highly transmissible virus that is as contagious as measles.

Why are you so hell bent on having kids eat inside sans masks under these circumstances? Are you insane? 
[/quote]

Because it’s all theater to appease coronaphobic extremists.  We’re eating indoors at restaurants all the time as I’m sure the vast majority of APS families are.

Insane is not eating indoors at a restaurant since February 2020. What nut jobs.

Best off - there’s been 0 major spread from eating indoors. But we need to stop focusing on spread anyway and only focus on people who are actually sick and helping their symptoms.[/quote]

Oh please honey.  Find yourself a real problem.  Not eating at a restaurant since Feb 2020 is hardly an appalling thing, even without COVID.

Are you really oblivious to the companies that are telling employees to WFH for the first few weeks in January, or prohibiting in person meetings, or telling people not to talk to each other if they do come in to the office?  But sure, lets have the kids take off the masks and eat in each other's faces.  That sounds like a good idea.

People like you are the reason kids with health conditions (or have family members with health conditions) can't get back to a semblance of normal.  But you got to have dinner in a restaurant, which is all that really matters.[/quote]

My work is like that right now too. They have a crazy group of COVIDians who control things. Otherwise I’d be in the office on Monday and going to lunch with my colleagues (indoors at a restaurant - the horror!).

You’re referring to the vast majority of the country. We’re on a family vacation right now. Airports and resorts are packed. Sorry that people have moved on with their life while you continue your miserable rituals (that don’t do anything other than make you feel that you’re morally superior).

There are 200 endemic respiratory viruses, all of which raise issues for immunocompromised people without prior immunity. But we deal with them just fine. [/quote]
