So zero child Covid deaths in DC. And half of hospitalizations in kids are incidental positives. Where were you people when H1N1 took the lives of 1200 American kids?


I know it’s hard, but we’re not talking about H1N1 right now. Do try to stay on topic. Thanks.

My 11 yo got it at a family event last week. Super mild (seriously, thought THIS IS IT?!) and now she’s got some immunity before school. This shit is crazy contagious so better now than at school.


You know that’s not how it works, right?

Delta is just covid that spreads faster. Your kids are at no greater risk than they were before.

this sentence doesn't make sense - if delta is more transmissible (which is IS), then kids ARE at a greater risk because they are more likely to become infected now. With normal covid, it was you had to spend 15 minutes unmasked around someone positive, now its 1 second of unmasked time because it's that much more contagious.


Oh no! They’re more likely to catch the illness that in all likeliness still won’t make them sick. How terrifying.


+1 million
Why, why, why are people worried about covid for kids? Look at the stats next to regular flu season!!!!


Seriously. We’ve sent all 3 kids to camps all summer in Fairfax county and two of those weeks were in Arlington county, drama camp. Not a single case. Where were you all for H1N1 and every year for flu.

First, you don't know that for sure. Second, more spread leads to more variants, which could be much worse. It also means greater potential exposure for people who are high risk. Finally, for some people, not doing camp is not a huge deal, and worth it to avoid a very unpredictable illness.


this is not real risk analysis based on data and facts.
could be, might mean, may

this is pure anxiety



+1 also, this sort of speculation is as damaging as trump-type dismissal of covid last year. I mean, the hypocrisy of covid hand-wringers is astounding when it comes to fake news.

I’m not the PP, but... yes... the research shows delta is no more of a risk to children.

We have only done two weeks of rec center camp, and are doing two more between now and school starting. I feel a little anxious about it, but not anxious enough to pull them out, because we don't have other child care options at this point.

Also, we'll be doing school in person, so it seems silly to worry about camp.


Yes, positive case at a camp in the Dulles Sports Complex last week.


And?


And what? I was answering the above question.


I'm the PP who asked this question. I was just wondering because anecdotally I've heard nothing from friends with kids in camp, and we've been in a few weeks of camp with no reports, so I was curious. Thanks for your response!

I’m considering it. Our camp has moved indoors due to the heat and no one is masked. I might not send on Friday so if there is an exposure, my kid is done with quarantine before school starts.

She may not have immunity and you can get it twice especially with the new variants.

That kind of ignorance is sadly more evident than I ever knew. I feel like all the morons in HS now have a seat at the table discussing their views on safety.
