[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My neighborhood (adult or kid) has no one wearing masks outdoor since last year. The other neighborhood a couple street across, many kids still wear masks on outdoor playground. I hear all the time that covid mostly have zero or mild effects on kids, but what happens my kids are the odd one that may catch covid with life threatening symptoms.

We still mask outdoor at playground, and I mask (as an adult) to protect myself and to protect kids (my own kids plus other kids) at playground. I don't allow my kids to play with neighborhood kids because I have not seen them wearing mask since last year.

You are exhibit A.
Your kids are going to be socially stunted for life.[/quote]
I would not say that the kids will be socially stunted for life, but the ^PP is definitely the "over cautious" liberal MoCo type.

The probability of your child needing hospitalization due to covid is very small. Your kid probably has a higher probability of getting into a car accident, and yet, I'm sure you have not curtailed driving in your car.

People like ^PP have read too many horror stories about kids and covid, and they've become hyper aware. It's like when we hear stories about children being abducted, so we don't let our kids out of our sights, when in reality, child abductions by strangers are incredibly rare.  We become more fearful and hyper vigilant even though, statistically, we don't need to.  Same with covid and mask wearing outdoors.[/quote]
