[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am very concerned now .many covid-19 cases in  Summer camps .I can't no send my kid back to  school.  Covid numbers are increased now .[/quote]

And are any kids actually sick that you know of? [/quote]

Is no one concerned about the long term effects of COVID on their kids? Especially the unknown affects it might have on developing lungs and brains, that might not present until later in life? Sure, an infection now may be asymptomatic at best and an inconvenience at most. But I still don’t want my child to get it. I want to send my child back to school this fall. But as a PP mentioned, I’m less concerned with teachers and more concerned with the parents who send their sick child to school.

“Although kids tend not to be so badly affected by COVID-19 and often have asymptomatic or mild cases, we are seeing kids who have decreased exercise tolerance, joint pain, fatigue, and brain fog after COVID-19 infection,” says Katharine Clouser, M.D., a pediatric hospital medicine specialist at Hackensack Meridian Children’s Health.

Although it is not yet clear how many children in the U.S. have been affected by this “long-COVID” syndrome, studies show that up to 40 percent of children in Italy and approximately 15-20 percent of children in England are experiencing “long-haul” COVID-19 symptoms.”

I am much more concerned about the impact of isolation on my kid. I don’t love the idea of him getting covid but keeping him out of school would be an immediate disaster. [/quote]
