[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your kid had it this spring/summer, then you should realize it’s NBD.

Kids and staff will get sick.

There will be peaks with lots of absences. You might consider pulling your (little) kid out when covid surges through your school—especially the week before any travel or big family event (thanksgiving, winter break, spring break).

Give your kid a mask, but recognize they probably won’t wear it.

Everyone needs to live with this now. It’s the new normal. MCPS won’t shut down unless the state does. [/quote]

Its hard to live with something when it makes you sick for weeks for some of us... what does live with it mean?  Pretend it isn't existing?  Denial must be a great thing.[/quote]

Did your kid have it yet? Recently?

Most kids barely register symptoms.

My kids have asthma, so we were over the top careful for 2 years. Then my kid with the worst asthma got it over winter break and he didn’t even need his inhaler. Flu hit him much harder pre-covid. Covid in JAN 2022 was nbd for him. And nobody else in our family got it.

That’s right: the rest of our family still hasn’t gotten it. We no longer mask unless on airplanes (we’ve flown several times; heck, we’ve cruised!).

My in-laws are pushing 90 and they got back to living their lives in public.

Covid is here to stay. Take precautions, but don’t hunker down unless you are strategically isolating before a big trip or family event. We did that before covid. [/quote]

We just had it a  few weeks ago and it  was miserable.   I'm still having issues, especially ith  my asthma.  My kids had it  for about a  week, spouse about 10 days.  You  forget kids live with  adults who also can be more impacted than the kids.  We aren't doing big trips or family  events.  Your in-laws will die soon enough so they might  as well live their lives as normal.  But, for me, being  sick a month with  covid isn't  worth  seeing  someone  who  may put me at risk or a  trip.  You have no  idea the  impact your choices have on someone  else nor do you care.  No wonder MCPS has  to  bring  in  so much  mental healths services  as  look at the lack of judgement, empathy and common sense  many  of the parents have which  trickles down to the kids.[/quote]

Did you never have the flu or pneumonia?

In the before time, many people had it and it knocked them down for weeks. Nobody masked and nothing shut down. And we didn’t shame people.

Please explain how my choices/actions are selfish and impacting others? 5 out of 6 of my family members have never had covid. We are vaxxed. We are boosted. We are living our lives. My one kid who had covid was isolated until he was better.

You do understand these aren't comparable things? [/quote]
