[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]ha- I'm the OP of this thread.  I'm no operative if any sort.  Just a frustrated FCC mom- who social distanced, masked and vaxxed with the best of them.  I closely closely follow science, and numbers etc and have the ability to change my mind.  What I've seen over the last 7 months has convinced me that 'science' has very little to do with this- this is about proving our liberalism.   When FCCPS refused to follow the CDC, and insisted on quarantining elementary school children for 14 days with no possibility of testing out- keeping needy children out of school- I lost faith in them.   FCC has an incredibly high vaccination rate.  The community obsessively masks.  We have had 4 people total hospitalized for COVID in the last 90 days.  Our case count has been astronomical for a long time.  So where do I come down- let it go.  The risk to a vaccinated person is so so minor.  Why are we doing this to our kids?  For the first 1.5 years of the pandemic I was willing to employ any mitigation measure that might make a difference.  At this point, given the vaccines, any mitigation measure should be run through a solid cost benefit analysis.  There is very little evidence that a universal mask mandate makes ANY difference for case transmission- and case transmission shouldn't really be our benchmark in any event.  I'm done.  My kids need normalcy and they need it now.   [/quote]

Same. I'm in Arlington and am just baffled at how we're treating kids right now. Both sides often sound completely bonkers and self-righteous, so it feels impossible to move forward.

We are going to suffer a Republican congress and Trump 2.0 if we keep ignoring all of the frustrated, alienated, and overworked parents.[/quote]

Those parents are going to be that kick more frustrated and overworked if their kids are home for a week because they caught covid at school.  My support of masks isn’t based on the “masks forever” nonsense that MAGA like to fantasize about, it’s based in the fact that I really do not want any more wrenches thrown into the works.  If other people want their kids to maskless guinea pigs, I can’t stop them.  But I will have zero sympathy if their kids end up excluded from school.[/quote]

I don't really understand your spite. Your post just reinforces that both sides are so dramatic, often resorting to statements like "I have zero sympathy for..."

The post isn't about masking individual "guinea pigs" but about the mandates (and idiotic anti-mask mandates) and benchmarks. I give up though, I think it's just impossible to talk about nuance here. [/quote]

It’s not spite, it’s exhaustion.  I no longer have the energy to spare caring about people who choose an irresponsible path.  If they want covid so badly, fine, let them get covid.  It is no longer my concern, but I am not going to waste one moment of emotional energy feeling sorry for them.[/quote]
