[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]JHC! Your 4-year-old is in daycare this whole time? But your DH is worried that baby will get it in a restaurant? So not from some 100s of people that your DS is basically exposed to every single day?
There is no rhyme or reason to this. Just random insane decisions that are based on nothing.
Take your kids to where you want, without the abusive dh. If he wants to divorce you bcs of that, so be it. DO you really want to live with a man that forbids you to take your kids to a restaurant?[/quote]

No kidding. The girl has been exposed to the virus multiple times, according to OP. She may not even be vulnerable to infection.

If she does get infected, the overwhelming odds are that it would be mild. Your family takes on greater risk by driving to daycare. OP, your DH is being unreasonable. So many risks we take every day are far more dangerous to kids than a Sars Cov 2 infection..driving, swimming, flu.

“Death is not the only outcome that parents fear, of course. Yet “long Covid” and hospitalization have also been very rare in children. It’s just that society has been so focused on Covid that we have paid intense attention to the risks associated with it — even when they are smaller than other risks that we unthinkingly accept. To take one example, we don’t use the phrase “long flu,” but it’s a real problem, including for children: One academic study has found that up to 10 percent of people who contract influenza later develop cardiac inflammation.“

Many who fear long Covid completely exaggerate its prevalence in children.

“Among seropositive and seronegative 6-to 16-year-old children and adolescents, 9% versus 10% reported at least one symptom beyond 4 weeks, and 4% versus 2% at least one symptom beyond 12 weeks. None of the seropositive children reported hospitalization after October 2020. Seropositive children, all with a history of pauci-symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection, did not report long COVID more frequently than seronegative children. This study suggests a very low prevalence of long COVID in a randomly selected population-based cohort of children followed over 6 months after serological testing.”

Mental and physical health both matter. More children are developing type 2 diabetes because of our pandemic response. Many have effectively lost a year+ of education. Drug overdoses have increased. Eating disorders have skyrocketed. ER visits are still below 2019 levels. Vehicle accidents have increased. Stay home and save lives will be known as the deadliest mantra of the pandemic. There is no public health emergency in children related to Sars Cov 2. Children need their normal lives back.
