[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t understand parents being so panicked over their young otherwise healthy kids catching COVID compared to other diseases/activities which statistically pose a greater risk to children of that age but to each their own.[/quote]

Some of us don’t want more dangerous variants to develop and take hold, which they will if the only unvaccinated population is kids. That’s the way viruses work. We’re very close to being able to get a handle on things and really cut down on new strains circulating. Taking your unmasked kids out makes the situation worse for everyone.[/quote]

By dangerous you mean more transmissible, right? 
More deadly it means likely less transmissible also.
I have read that is much more likely that Covid will become just another cold ( very transmissible and not deadly). When his host dies, the virus die. That is also why some of the more deadly viruses did not spread [/quote]

Not true. It could be more transmissible and cause more long term issues, without being fatal. Long haul COVID is something you definitely don’t want for your kids. In Israel, where a lot of children have gotten it due to the school situation — doctors there are saying 10-30% have long term health issues due to the virus.

Anyway, this whole thread is a demonstration of how so many people don’t understand how their own selfish interests intersect with caring about the interests of all. So many people here saying oh, kids aren’t seriously affected, my kid won’t get it from the supermarket, etc.[/quote]
