We know how low of risk children have with COVID (less than the risk they take riding in a car to school).

COVID will be here forever. Everyone will get it. This is just putting the burden on children, so you can unsuccessfully try to avoid a virus that everyone will get. And you're penalizing children. Absolutely disgusting.

DO NOT OPT IN TO THIS TESTING! IT IS SCHOOL CLOSURES BY STEALTH

I'm not wanting to put the burden of COVID mitigation solely on children. First, I'm pointing out that restaurants and gyms aren't the best standard to look at when creating a healthy educational environment for kids. Second, I actually think there are a lot of very selfish adults. Sure adults are tired of the past two years. We're ALL tired, but that doesn't excuse selfishness, and 2 years in I have a hard time assuming many people are still clueless. Third, I have an under 5 child with health issues and older child who is school aged. Because too many parents won't take basic mitigation requirements (like teach their kids to mask, test their kids to slow the spread, keep kids home when they're sick) I'm faced with some really tough choices that help one child but hurt the other, and vice versa. All I'm asking is for my at risk under 5 to have a vaccine and for treatments to be available for their age group. in the meantime, I am begging parents who read this to teach masking, test your kids, keep them home when they're sick. Please.

Immunocompromised people did not start existing in March 2020. I feel for your child, but there are 200 endemic respiratory viruses. Your child would have problems during flu seasons. H1N1 killed way more kids on annual basis than COVID.

Your child would still have problems even if everyone just masked harder, as you want. This is a highly transmissible respiratory virus. Virus is going to virus.

My kids have stopped with all COVID restrictions since this summer and will not do them any longer. The majority of the country has. Time to move on.

DO NOT SIGN UP FOR TESTING! THIS IS LOCKING HEALTHY KIDS OUT OF SCHOOL.

Oakridge reported 19 in the past last 24 hours. Community spread is extremely high, so obviously testing is important. Don’t spite yourselves, test your kids and send them in a high-quality mask. If you want schools to stay open, that is.

Why are we asymptomatically testing? Almost every kid at Wakefield is vaccinated, meaning most likely those are all asymptomatic positives. DO NOT TEST!!!

No restaurants are asymptomatically testing. No gyms are asymptomatically testing. No where else is.

This is just a way to shut schools down. That is it. The closed school advocates will stop at nothing to shut schools down.

Honestly, the logic of "the restaurants aren't doing it," and "the gyms aren't doing it" is just absurd. Since when have those two sectors been the gold standard for educating and protecting children's public health? Most kids aren't even allowed in gyms.

Look, I get your point that other places are less restrictive so why should schools create a safer environment. Do you hear your immense privilege there? You life experience as taught you that if there is an easier or more convenient way to do something, they you should be entitled to that. Some of us have had the life experience that others are given or take short cuts and things work out fine while if we try that we pay for it for the rest of our lives.

You are your own worst enemy. But go off.

Don't opt into surveillance testing! That's just a way to lock healthy kids out of school.

We don't surveillance test for the flu. Don't sign up for it for COVID. You're only hurting yourself as COVID is here to stay.

Our family is definitely not wearing masks. It's time for us to get COVID and get this pandemic over with. We hope to get it soon.

The odds are certainly in your favor

Maybe you can help brew the next variant, too, and catch that.

COVID is never going away. There will be plenty of new variants to come, just as there's a new strain of the flu virus every year.

The fact that you think you can personally stop the spread of a virus or the formation of variants by doing anything other than never leaving your house again is delusional.

NP inviting covid Ala chicken pox party and thinking that’s a storybook ending involves significant magical thinking.

Guess what? It’s possible to be covid cautious and still live your life. Out of the house even.

I have no problem if you want personally want to live your life like that. I know many people who are very religious and that COVID paranoid lifestyle is really a religion at this point. Just don't try to affect public policy.

Who are you? Why do you think it’s OK to speak to people that way?

I’m convinced the COVID zero/fear porn/anti Duran/anti masker is a major sock puppeteer.

And I bet money that he also doesn't have kids in APS.

These are not kids who were asymptomatically tested! These are kids with symptoms and their parents got a test when they were home last week. Do you not remember there was no school last week??
