[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seriously. People had all summer to travel. Those who are doing it now are ruining school and putting kids’ health in serious jeopardy. [/quote] Most people who booked end of summer travel booked it back when Covid numbers looked great. No one knew the antivaxers were going to screw us all. I don’t judge the travelers. I’m thankfully I traveled in June, but that was just luck. [/quote] +1, and also we traveled this past week because that's when the younger kids' preschool was closed. I have limited vacation time. I'm not going to take a week of in June and then need to take another week in August because the school is closed. We take vacation the week the school is closed, and that was last week. And we booked it back in May, the day after getting our first covid shots.[/quote] But absolutely risk picking something up and potentially needing to quarantine two weeks upon returning. Mkay. [/quote] Mkay unless I am ill, I can work from home during quarantine. Anyway, we didn't fly; we drove 3 hours. As others have said we've been cooped up for a year and a half. That's a long time for most people. It's a long part of my small kids' life. This could go on for another 3-4 years and what, then I'll have a 10 year old and 7 year olds who have never seen the beach, never been to relatives' houses, never done anything except attend school in a mask? No thanks. My now 7 year old has a friend whose parents did just that. We saw them for the first time a few days ago, outside at a park. The father said it was the first time they'd let the kids leave their yard since covid started. That is criminal in my opinion. And the friend didn't remember DS (who remembered him well as they were in school together for 4.5 years) and didn't speak to anyone when spoken to. It was so sad.[/quote]
