With breakthrough cases, are you willing to risk a child dying because you don't feel like wearing a mask.[/quote]

Do you drive? Are you willing to risk killing a child because you don't feel like walking, biking, taking a bus, or forgoing the trip?[/quote]

Really? October 2021 and you still don't know what a pandemic is.  MCPS grad?[/quote]

What's the difference between risking a child's death from covid and risking a child's death from a car crash? Why would you refuse to accept the former, but accept the latter?[/quote]

What are you rambling about?  This isn't a discussion about car accidents.  I would hope with covid you take precautions like vaccines and masking and for car accidents you keep your car well maintained, get all the available safety features, wear a seat belt, have your kids in appropriate car seats and not rush them out as its easier for you, etc.  Precautions save lives in both situations![/quote]

Correct, it's a discussion about actions we are and aren't willing to take to reduce the risks of children dying. In 2019, car crashes killed 281 children aged 1-4 in cars and 79 children aged 1-4 not in cars (pedestrians, etc.). For children aged 5-9, the 2019 number of deaths were 340 in cars and 15 not in cars. For children aged 10-14, the 2019 number of deaths were 420 in cars and 20 not in cars.

You could completely eliminate your risk of killing a child while driving by not driving. Why aren't you willing to do that?
