COVID is not going away. Your statements have an underlying assumption that COVID will eventually be eradicated. It will not. Therefore, all of your statements are an argument for mitigation measures for the rest of our lives. No way.

It’s not forever. It will be endemic at some point. It would have been sooner if not for the d1ckheads.

I know you’re tired but our kids need to be in school. Do these very basic things to make it happen.

The basic way school can be in school right now --> open the doors of the school. See the UK and Scandinavia. And let them stay in school by stop quarantining asymptomatic close contacts, as those countries have done.

It's ironic when obvious "keep school closed" Smart Restart-types from last year start lecturing about keeping schools open (guess they figured out politically that their closed school advocacy was dead wrong).

Just like those in the UK and Scandinavia are done with the restrictions, the vast majority of Americans are done too. Vaccines for adults were the train ticket out of restrictions and the DC area has jumped aboard. Time for college football today, where it's so great to see so many Americans living life again. Taking my kids later this fall to a game (maskless - the horror!).

Huh? I'm not part of SR.

I just want people to do the very basic things we can do to keep our #s low. Vaccinate, mask, test.

You are a d1ck.

there is scant evidence that truly asymptomatic (not pre-symptomatic) people can spread covid. There is substantial evidence that children spread less than adults. Surveillance testing that is designed to catch asymptomatic cases, means that we are putting into quarantine kids, and their contacts, who are 95% unlikely to spread covid to anyone. But we are jerking them out of school for 10 days, as well as their siblings, etc. This surveillance testing program is not 'a basic thing to keep kids in school' it is a way to ensure there are lots of needless quarantines.
Now- switch the program to removing symptomatic kids, and implementing test to stay for all of the symptomatic case contacts? I'm on board.

It’s ironic that the open uppers are doing the things that will close schools. Going to be a rough fall.

I will bet 100 that this family is not going to test after going to the football covid fest.

Too worried about quarantine, better to spread covid to others!

Well, Dr. Fauci thinks attendance at such games is imprudent.

Dr. Fauci is also an 80 year old man that has a skewed sense of risk tolerance not consistent with average people (I myself like experts like Martin Kuldorff from Harvard, Jay Bhattacharya from Stanford and Vinay Prasad from UCSF). I don't remember Dr. Fauci getting elected either (do you want your terrorism decisions made by 1 over cautious terrorism expert or by political leaders upon advice of terrorism experts with a range of views?).

And Dr. Fauci has a somewhat selective sense of approving of mass gatherings --> BLM protests, Lollapalooza or Obama's birthday party (which I"m so glad he went forward with) = good; college football, protests over losing your livelihood from lockdowns or Sturgis = bad. All of these things are important to all of those people's lives, but 1 set Dr. Fauci judges himself as not important.

Meanwhile, Smart Restart has just Tweeted out praising New Zealand's approach to military lockdowns for 1 case of COVID.

Why are you such a terrible person? Did your parents beat you?

How does asymptomatic testing end a "pandemic" for a virus that will be "endemic" for the rest of our lives? It will continue to spread. The future is that it will be treated like any other respiratory virus, and kids who are not sick (i.e., don't have actual symptoms) will not miss school.

It’s not “endemic” while ICUs are still filling. It’s still “novel” to many people.

Testing limits outbreaks until enough people get vaccinated (kids at this point) and unvaccinated jerks are infected.

Vaccinate, mask, test to keep our kids in classrooms.

ICUs are not filling up in the DC area. There's very few COVID hospitalizations in the entire area (and would love to see the if the few hospitalized are actually hospitalized "from" COVID). Our area is very highly vaccinated. This isn't rural Arkansas.

We know that kids under 12 are at less risk than vaccinated adults. The UK isn't even vaccinating kids under 16 years old, the risk is so low. No masks in school there either.

So yes, it is very endemic in the DC area.

It’s not a closed system. And we still have many that don’t have any immunity. Not endemic…yet.

Closed system? Your prior argument was about hospitals in this area. Hospitals are having 0 problems here with COVID.

As for immunity, we have one of the highest vaccination rates in the country. And kids under 12 are at less risk than vaccinated adults. So yes, the proper amount of people have immunity.

Unless you're arguing that we should do NPIs every time there's a new variant with additional cases. That is what vaccines are for.

I didn't say hospitals in this area. ??

We don't live in a bubble.

How do the hospitals in Arkansas affect Arlington or the DC area? Or the hospitals in Brazil? I'm seriously curious.

I would also like to know the answer to this. If the delta variant was going to fill the hospitals here it would have already happened. People who are gravely ill and can't breathe are not traveling multiple hours to get to the hospital, so yes, we do sort of live in a bubble.

There are many layers of d1ckheads....

D1ckheads who won't get vaccinated.

D1ckheads who won't wear masks.

D1ckheads who won't participate in screening.

The dickheads have lead us to this:


Don't be a d1ckhead. Get vaccinated. Wear a mask. Sign your kids up for testing.

There are very basic things that you can do to help keep our kids in school.

D1chkeads also spend to much time on these message boards posting meaningless maps. Get a life.

How is that meaningless?

Get vaccinated. Wear your fcking mask and test your kids.

These are cases. What do cases matter for a highly vaccinated area of the country? Are people not allowed to catch colds now (which is what COVID is like for a vaccinated person)?

Even if 100% of people are vaccinated, there still would be many cases. See Israel, Iceland, etc.

Surges in other areas of the US certainly affect us. Our numbers don’t get as high but they get higher. If the d1ckheads had vaccinated then the Delta surge wouldn’t have been so bad nationally. Or if people masked…or we had more widespread testing.

So vaccinate yourself and your kids when the vaccine is available.
Mask to minimize outbreaks here (especially at school!).
And opt-in we can further isolate outbreaks and keep our kids in school.

Kids are not vaccinated.

Because I'm tired of d1ckheads who can't do very basic things to make this pandemic end.

Why are you such a terrible person? Did your parents beat you?

How does asymptomatic testing end a "pandemic" for a virus that will be "endemic" for the rest of our lives? It will continue to spread. The future is that it will be treated like any other respiratory virus, and kids who are not sick (i.e., don't have actual symptoms) will not miss school.

It’s not “endemic” while ICUs are still filling. It’s still “novel” to many people.

Testing limits outbreaks until enough people get vaccinated (kids at this point) and unvaccinated jerks are infected.

Vaccinate, mask, test to keep our kids in classrooms.

ICUs are not filling up in the DC area. There's very few COVID hospitalizations in the entire area (and would love to see the if the few hospitalized are actually hospitalized "from" COVID). Our area is very highly vaccinated. This isn't rural Arkansas.

We know that kids under 12 are at less risk than vaccinated adults. The UK isn't even vaccinating kids under 16 years old, the risk is so low. No masks in school there either.

So yes, it is very endemic in the DC area.

It’s not a closed system. And we still have many that don’t have any immunity. Not endemic…yet.

Closed system? Your prior argument was about hospitals in this area. Hospitals are having 0 problems here with COVID.

As for immunity, we have one of the highest vaccination rates in the country. And kids under 12 are at less risk than vaccinated adults. So yes, the proper amount of people have immunity.

Unless you're arguing that we should do NPIs every time there's a new variant with additional cases. That is what vaccines are for.

I didn't say hospitals in this area. ??

We don't live in a bubble.

How do the hospitals in Arkansas affect Arlington or the DC area? Or the hospitals in Brazil? I'm seriously curious.

I would also like to know the answer to this. If the delta variant was going to fill the hospitals here it would have already happened. People who are gravely ill and can't breathe are not traveling multiple hours to get to the hospital, so yes, we do sort of live in a bubble.
