No one cares anymore [/quote]

You Covid deniers would like that to be true. Normal parents care. Teachers too. [/quote]

NP.  Not a covid denier. And +1 to don’t care.[/quote]

+1,000.  The covid anxious are just a very vocal minority.  [/quote]

Well don't come back to complain when your precious spring break trips get cancelled because you got COVID again.[/quote]
Well, since we don't test, covid won't make a difference to our spring break plans. [/quote]

When Johnny has a snotty nose the school will require a test. Sorry.[/quote]

Some schools don’t bother. And it would just require Johnny to miss school, not miss spring break plans. Most people have moved on. You need to, too. [/quote]

Hey buddy, maybe stop gaslighting others about the seriousness of a continuing pandemic that has killed millions of people, involves a virus that is still mutating and evolving, and creates harsh long-term effects that appear to be serious for some and which are still barely understood.  Trying to take precautions and not infect others if you get covid is a good thing, not a bad one, that people do to help one another when they live in a society.  Or they should.  Sorry you're apparently too selfish to test your kid yourself when they get a runny nose and hope the school doesn't test either.  [/quote]
I don't care anymore, and there's nothing you can do to make me care.

You can't control other people anymore. I think that's what's most upsetting to people like you.  [/quote]

Actually it's the opposite.  My post was about this comment:  "Most people have moved on.  You need to, too."

You don't get to tell me what to do actually.  My kid can attend school in a mask and you can't stop them from doing so even if it offends your snowflake sensibilities.

If you choose to break the rules by sending kids who have covid-like symptoms into school (this is still against the rules in APS as it would trigger the daily screener), you are breaking APS policy and the school is allowed to send your kid home.

I'm not trying to tell you what to do beyond stating APS policy, but you're trying to tell me to stop taking precautions and forget about covid.  The control freak here, c'est toi.[/quote]
Your whole argument falls apart because no one is trying to make your kid stop masking. Wear a mask forever, knock yourself out. No one cares.

And the list of covid symptoms is so all-encompassing as to cover everything under the sun from allergies to bubonic plague. Don't be surprised that people are ignoring the guidance. [/quote]

this.  the list of symptoms it to all-encompassing.  You have to ignore it.  And why have we elevated COVID (in the context of vaccines available for all above the age of 5) above the flu, strep? norovirus?  those things are more serious for most kids than covid.  But so long as it isn't covid- all is cool.   What are the leading symptoms of covid?  fever, cough, loss of taste or smell.   Limit testing to those three things and you would get much more compliance.[/quote]

Fact: There are a lot of COVID symptoms that are also symptoms of other diseases.  I guess that upsets you, but it does NOT change reality.

Fact: Covid has been around for only 2 years.  That is a lot less time than society has been dealing with, studying, and treating the flu, step, and norovirus.  We all wish we knew more about COVID, how to treat, and its long term impact.  Pretending we know as much about COVID as the flue, strep, and norovirus does NOT change reality.[/quote]
