[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]5 days at substantial -- today was 55.96. Two more days above 50 and the mask mandate is reenacted.

They'll just change the criteria like they just did.  Elections coming up and votes are more important than safety.  Dead and sick people don't vote.[/quote]

If only. I’d love to see them change the order to remove the useless mask provision, but it is coming back. We’ll be stuck with masks for another month or so until we get up to 85% fully vaccinated.  I’m not changing, though. I never stopped wearing a mask myself in stores, but I did stop pretending to have my kids wear masks. And I’m not going to start again. They never kept the mask in place for more than 5 seconds at a time anyway, so it was always just for show. Just like cloth masks in general.[/quote]

Vaccines are not going to fix this alone.  Look at other country surges.   It’s not going away because of people like you.  Teach your kids to be responsible by setting a good example.  Cloth masks work.  Plenty of studies on it.  [/quote]

Look at the county's data on hospitalizations and deaths. As a practical matter, the vaccines have already fixed things for us regarding COVID. The vaccines have provided strong protection to all but the most old, frail, fat, or unlucky. We'll be fine once people like you get pushed out of the way.[/quote]

Its more than hospitalizations and deaths for some of us.  What is wrong with you?  You wish death on others so you can live your irresponsible life?  I feel bad for your kids as you probably don't care about their health or needs either.  [/quote]

I'm sure you'd say I should keep them home. Who needs ABA, speech and occupanational therapy in a pandemic? Or learn social skills and practice following commands in a school setting?

It's really tough to balance those critical services against the risk they might get sick and feel tired for a few weeks.

Nevermind, it wasn't hard to balance those at all. We obviously resumed in-person services and preK as soon as possible.

Heck, my spouse is an health care provider who takes immunosuppressants for past organ transplant. And they went into through throughout the pandemic, when cases were higher and we didn't have vaccines.[/quote]

I hate to break it to you but your child isn't the only one who needs services.  Many of us have kids who have done many hours of private services, many hours.  [/quote]

And, given your spouse is a health care provider and your child "needs" in office visits, I would hope you would be more careful with covid vs. saying lets live life as normal.  Your choices impact your spouses patients, many of whom may not be going in to get the medical care they need as they don't feel safe and other families may choose not to get in person services for their kids because of other families and the providers behavior.  The choices and risks you take impact many others.  Many who may not be as nonchalant as you acting as if covid is no big deal.  [/quote]
