Low income and people of color have the highest case rates and death rates. People of color are also, by visual observation, most observant about masks. It’s entitled privileged white people who care about ME ME ME

And, low income and people of color are also the people who don't want kids to go back to school, because they know they will get sick and possibly get worse medical treatment. While white, I live in an area of MoCo with mostly people of color. And I cringe every time people with privilege say "what about the poors, this is awful for them, we need to open up right away." The poor people don't own these businesses, and they are more likely to have a severe case of Covid or die. That's why they don't want to go back to school in person!

And, if someone poorer gets "long Covid" you may bankrupt your entire family for life. I know, I have an autoimmune disease that is very similar to "long Covid" and I would not wish it on anyone. That's why we live in the poorer section of MoCo, because I can't handle holding down a full time job right now.

I agree, they don't really care about poor people, they just care about dining in and getting their kids out of their house.
If you really cared about the restaurant and venue owners, you can give them $1000+ tips on your takeout.

And if a few kids commit suicide because we’re telling them to stay in their houses all summer, who cares right?

Who is saying kids have to stay in their houses this summer? Kids in my neighborhood are outside playing, not near unrelated adults, right now. Are many people dealing with mental health issues, yes.

Stop exaggerating, we are tired of hearing it.

And I’m tired of people acting like this year is comparable to last year, despite the fact that we have over a million people in this state vaccinated and are giving 15,000 people their first show and 20,000 people their second shot every single day.

That is very little and no kids are vaccinated. And, we don't know if the vaccines are long term and many other issues.

So then what’s your proposal?

We are waiting it out. Simple.

You're going to keep your kids home until they are vaccinated?

That's just cruel. Cleary you haven't actually looked at the risks of COVID in kids if you think that is at all rational.

NP. No, dummy. Because we are creative, resourceful, and flexible, we do way outdoor things, again, some more, like the list that follows. I'm sorry you are an incompetent parent if you can't easily think up:

-Going to our neighborhood pool, which was open from June-October last summer

-Going to the zoo, which was open last summer

-Biking and trampolines and sidewalk chalk and playing tag and all sorts of neighborhood outdoor fun, just like last spring/summer

-Going to a fully sanitized beach house with grandparents with socially distanced protocols and a few changes to how we interact, just like last summer; this time, with all adults vaccinated

-Enjoying take-out nights and BBQ nights on our back deck, which my kids like better than restaurants anyway, just like last spring/summer.

-Being the kind of flexible, low-key, happy kids who are thrilled by a Popsicle and a sprinkler in the back yard, just like last summer.

-Going to Jug Bay, Allen Pond, Watkins Park, Patapsco Valley and numerous other hiking trails and parks, just like last spring/summer

Do you really think the "waiting it out" pp is going to go to a community pool or the zoo? And what if you don't have money, or the time off from work, to rent your own beach house for a week? That's a completely different kind of "resourceful."

...Didddddd you not see the public parks listed?

Were you unable to read the lines about popsicles, sidewalk chalk, bike rides, playing outdoors?

A simple evening of takeout on the back deck?

Are you really this unimaginative and hapless?

-Catching fireflies
-Walk around the neighborhood
-Make your own bubbles
-Butcher paper and finger paints outside
-Public gardens, trails, historic sites
-Plant a garden or even an indoor herb garden
-Fly a kite
-Movie night at home
-Neighborhood scavenger hunt
-Daycares and many camps still open

Still stumped? Google.
