[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seems like these pods are going to just increase community spread like crazy. They closed schools for a reason folks. [/quote]

So what are parents with two working parents and young kids supposed to do?

Should it just be expected that one of them quite their jobs, possibly have to sell their house to manager kindergarten?[/quote]

What do you want me to say? No one has the answers. This sucks. This is the worst crisis that has happened to us. It is upending everything. But burying your head in the sand and somehow thinking you are the exception - that congregating 6 kids together and a tutor together isn't risky - isn't the answer.

What happens if someone in your pod or someone they live with gets sick? You have to work right, just push through?

Look this is horrible but seems like if we just suck it up it will end. The more people who do things like this, this will keep spreading and spreading. [/quote]

What about parents who send their kids to daycare?  And SACC?  Are all those on your $hitlist as well?[/quote]

So, podding is very different than these things from what I've seen on DCUM and in the media. It's understandable that parents of young kids would want their kids in daycare while they work and for older kids, essential workers and people who can't WFH it seems childcare at school would make sense. It's a benefit risk equation and the benefits of not keeping a child home alone might outweigh the risks of the virus for many, and some simply don't have a choice.

The pods aren't about keeping kids safe, or about childcare. I'm sure there are some good reasons to make sure kids are getting social activity or help with school, though I don't think it means you have to pod with 6 families and a tutor. There are safer ways I'm sure.

Further, you need to stop and ask yourself why you even care what me or other anon posters on this website think of your plan. You aren't going to convince me and others that pods are okay, though you really seem to want to. What does it matter? Do what you want to do.[/quote]
