[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]SR parent and health care worker. I have absolutely no problem with the mask requirement. Everyone in my family is vaccinated and boosted. COVID-19 infection generally is mild in younger people/pediatrics, but not in everyone. I took care of young people with pulmonary emboli with mild cases of COVID. There is new data suggesting higher incidence of Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus after COVID infection. There are concerning neurologic impacts being investigated, and long-term pulmonary complications (Omicron seems to be more sparing of lungs). No matter how mild, I don’t want my kids to get it- what if they are one of the rare ones to have these complications?

Great thanks to SR for trying to protect staff, students and their families. I think they have done a great job!!

My fully vaxxed asthmatic son had the omicron variant over the holidays and his lungs were spared, thank goodness. When he was younger, a simple cold could result in pneumonia because of his allergies / asthma. His only symptoms were a cold and fatigue and he recovered quickly. His DC high school is also *strongly* recommending N95.

Covid is here for the long haul and we must learn to live with it. If that means wearing a mask, so be it. I want my son to be physically in school.[/quote]

Yes it does seem like Omicron is more soaring on lung tissue - however, many unvaccinated people are still becoming very sick with Omicron. Also we do not know yet whether it will result in wide spread long haul COVID as happened with earlier variants when initial symptoms were mild. Experts say less severe is not the same as mild and that many are killed into false sense of complacency. Hence our hospitals are overflowing and many supermarket shelves are half empty as so many people are out sick.
