[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My house hasn’t caught on fire, but I don’t regret having working smoke detectors. I’ve never been in a serious car accident, but I don’t regret decades of wearing a seatbelt. I’ve never had an unintended pregnancy, but I don’t regret having used birth control. I took precautions to avoid covid. Maybe I wouldn’t have contracted it even if I wasn’t cautious, but that doesn’t make me regret the precautions. I make the best choices I can based on the information I have.[/quote]

This is 100% how I feel. There was such poor guidance from the government and we just had to make decisions based on our individual circumstances, as well as our interpretation of the information provided. I think I did a good job keeping my family and those in my bubble safe by being cautious.

I think Biden and the CDC are premature in their decision to lift mask recommendations. The country is so divided already and there is no way we can count on the general public to keep this under control. We are only socializing with vaccinated adults outdoors. Our kids still wear masks when playing with other children. Risking unnecessary mask wearing is way preferable to risking Covid.

That being said, schools should feel good about reopening 5 days a week in Sept. The data totally supports that and we feel great knowing that we have given it time to see how this played out, and now we can make an informed decision. [/quote]

In the fall 2020, our schools made reasonable choices to stay virtual. We didn't have the testing, PPE, or ventilation back then. And there was very limited data and projected impending fall surge.

But as vaccines became available the kids went back. And numbers are coming down. They will be way down by the fall so we will be back to almost normal. Masks are no big deal to my kids - they only needed around a week to adjust to those.
