[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was just getting to the point where I was thinking about allowing indoor play dates again. Maybe a small birthday party for my winter birthday kids. My oldest is 12 and fully vaccinated, my younger two have had the first dose. I was thinking after they were fully vaccinated we would try to return to more normalcy with friends. Now this news of a new variant and possible restrictions coming. I am so down and feeling a little hopeless. They miss their friends, normal childhood play, sleepovers. We are cautious and want to protect them and also prevent spread. But I feel like this will consume our lives for a long time and it is so depressing.[/quote]

So because there was a variant detected in South Africa that has been confirmed to be mild, your kids (who are beyond low risk if they're healthy) aren't living a normal life? Please rethink this approach...[/quote]

Actually it hasn't been confirmed to be mild but keep telling yourself that.  However, these kids have a normal childhood so this conversation is silly.  Their child is 12 and back to school in person so that is far riskier than most other things given how large middle school is and the lack of distancing.[/quote]
