[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The public interest is kids being back in school, not constantly home for weeks. And if you're finding this that upsetting, I don't know how you made it through schools being closed last year and bars and restaurants being open, or how you're dealing with masks being required in public except if you have a drink on your table, but gyms not being allowed to require vaccinations instead. Policy decisions are all political decisions, but this one at least gets kids back to school. [/quote]

Yeah, I’ve been constantly screaming into what feels like an abyss for *20* months now. I’m exhausted on a personal and professional level.

But beware the sunk cost fallacy; all of those things doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t take reasonable action now. Especially when there are dire consequences for our pediatric healthcare systems if what we’ve been seeing in school openings so far plays out on a much wider scale. Early data indicating that ~1% of cases require hospitalizations. We don’t have the beds or peds HCW to handle that. Remember flatten the curve? We need to take steps NOW to do that for our kids, and instead we are sticking our heads in the sand.[/quote]

Citation needed for your pediatric hospitalization number. You guys are completely dramatic, between this, “I’ll see you on the news,” and trusting people who have no qualifications. You need to take a breath. You and your kids are not going to be buried because of COVID this year. [/quote]

Look.  I don’t think it’s going to be as bad as Texas is right now but it’s not going to be good either.  Our vaccination rate is still not where it should be.  There will be hundreds of kids sick within the first month. We know this, it’s inevitable.  There will be large scale quarantines (even with the new guidelines).

Look school needs to open but pretending this is September 2019 is dumb.  This is not going to be a “normal” school year and to pretend it will be is delusional. [/quote]
