[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So quit complaining about 5 days virtual, and lock your kids down in the interim. That way, we won’t have to make it 10, or 20, or 50 days. It’s the refusal to take basic precautions - vaccines, masks, avoiding indoor gatherings - that is prolonging this nightmare. [/quote]

1) I'm not complaining about five days virtual.

2) We are fully vaccinated and boosted, wear mask, avoid large indoor gatherings, etc.. My child is lucky if she sees the inside of even a grocery store for five minutes once every few months. I'm not sure what more lockdown you want - I'm not going to stop her from going to her (outdoor, masked) activities, nor will we stop seeing (vaccinated, boosted) family members.

3) That said, we're pretty resigned that we're going to get omicron - if you look at the numbers I don't see how it's possible to not, short of total isolation, which is not a trade-off we're willing to make for the comparatively low risk. We've reach the point of accepting we're going to be moving forward with the virus.

4) I'm deeply concerned that five days will stretch to longer because the goal posts will be moved by people who think we somehow can still eradicate the virus, which clearly isn't feasible.

5) Look at places that pretty universally applied strict protocols - they're still seeing sharp Omicron spikes. The only way out is, apparently, though.[/quote]

Gah, stupid typo. The only way out is through, not though.[/quote]
