[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm so frustrated and scared by how people are acting like COVID is over. It's especially unfair to kids who can't be vaccinated yet and people who are immunocompromised.

We were extremely cautious throughout the earlier stages and have only recently begun to move into what I would call medium-cautious. We sent our oldest to elementary school when the public school opened up because the cost-benefit analysis for him showed it was the best thing - he was struggling way too much at home with virtual learning and being isolated. I felt he could do it safely with the protocols they had in place.

Younger son started an all-outdoor preschool where they were fully masked all day in and out at the same time (in spring). That was great, and I felt very safe about it being outdoors with masks, even though they are young kids.

Both are doing summer camp - the youngest all at preschool, same profile. The oldest is in a camp where they are outdoors most of the day, but the camp has allowed them to go without masks outdoors. This makes me extremely nervous, and it is not what I would choose, but I feel it is acceptable as a risk for two more weeks since they mask indoors when they have to go in due to weather/bathroom.

We do not bring the kids into stores or restaurants. We do not do indoor playdates. We do outdoor playdates with masks. We are traveling to visit grandparents later this summer and will do so without masks. [/quote]

I mean, re-read your post. You decided to send your kid to school because it was best for him, so you decided the benefits outweighed the risks to you. You decided to send your other kid to preschool for the same reason. Same thing with camp. So you made a whole bunch of decisions based on your own risk assessment but you act like you can judge other people for their decisions. Why is that? Also, you're doing camp and playdates without masks and visiting grandparents without masks (and traveling to do so). I really think you need to step off your high horse. [/quote]
