[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m about to pull my two out of summer league because they are the only kids seemingly capable of distancing or masking, and they are both under 12, so unvaccinated. Could someone explain to me why you are so comfortable - nay, hell bent! - to not have your kids wear masks at crowded events? Outdoor or indoor, crowded is clearly a risk. I am not okay with my kids getting COVID. It’s not hard to enforce a little distance or a mask when distancing is hard.

The science is pretty clear - unvaccinated people need to mask or distance. Why are we abandoning it? [/quote]
Speaking for myself, I’m not “hell-bent” but I am comfortable  my unvaccinated kids not wearing masks at crowded swim events because (1) the rate of community transmission is very low right now, (2) the likelihood of spread outdoors is low, and (3) even if my young kids got COVID they would likely be fine, and anyone they might spread it to that wouldn’t be fine should be vaccinated.  Acknowledge the risk isn’t zero, but multiplying three low probability events together gets pretty close to zero.[/quote]

This exactly. The science is pretty clear that the risk of outside transmission is very low and that Covid’s danger to kids is very low. When community spread was higher and they were all doing indoor sports, my kids and dozens of their friends all had Covid in the winter and none of them had symptoms or side effects. Our swim team of over 200 kids does not mask or distance and we haven’t had a complaint. [/quote]
