But yeah other than that, excellent point, Mike! Pretty sure you have kids When they were toddlers, did you have them get the flu shot? If not, did you make them wear masks?

I hope your kids understand and "get it" But aside from all the politics, I am pessimistic about all this. Im not sure theres much we can do as a society to stop COVID from spreading. We basically locked down for a long time and it didn't work. I fear that the cure is more painful than the disease. Life is so short. That's just my opinion. My kids are fine with it. They honestly never even mention it. There have been several things we could have done to prevent it from spreading but people haven't done them. We all could have gotten vaccinated through the spring and early summer and this wave would've been much smaller. And life being short is one thing, but life being 5 or 10 years long is something else entirely. I'll do anything to protect my kids and having them wear a mask for a few months until they can get the jab is unbelievably insignificant in the scheme of things.

Youve made like 3 posts and have said nothing Bringin up polio is irrelevant to this discussion. No one can argue my statement about COVID being virtually no risk to children

And while I'd go a few years in between getting the flu shot in my early 20's, I haven't missed a year since my wife was pregnant with our oldest. The flu is a risk to kids that should be taken seriously, but so is covid, and more so because of the unknowns regarding disease and lack of a vaccine.

Asking my kids to wear a mask is an easy choice for us based on logic and risk management. For the anti-maskers, it's based on political ideology and idiocy. If they're right about covid being no big deal, then their kids wore a mask for a year (or a few months starting now) and they were mildly inconvenienced by it. But if they're wrong, they've exposed their kids to a dangerous virus that can have long-term effects which we're only barely beginning to understand. Further, approx 1 in 100 kids who test positive for covid will end up hospitalized from it, and at least 5 in 100 will have lingering symptoms beyond 12 weeks. Sorry, but I'm not taking those chances with my kid because of what any politician says on either side of the aisle.

Will you rethink your stance then?

"Sorry honey, but we need to take the masks off the kids." "Why?" "I was called a neckbeard pharma simp by some guy on the internet who bragged about going to a Hanson concert." "You mean like he went to a Hanson concert in 1998?" "No, in 2021."

August 12, 20214 yr https://thehill.com/policy/healthcare/567554-florida-sets-new-high-for-daily-covid-19-cases "The Biden administration sent about 200 ventilators and 100 smaller breathing devices to Florida at the state’s request." Don't worry Ron. Even if you don't support Joe he will still do everything he can to help the American people, unlike the last guy.

Yeah like Trump sending a navy ship to help Cuomo, and instead Cuomo sending COVID patients to hospices to die and kill everyone else. Just like that guy

August 12, 20214 yr 1 minute ago, Mike31mt said: We are. We know that the flu is more dangerous for children than COVID Not even true if you only look at deaths and only look at the original COVID variants, let alone long term side effects and delta.
August 12, 20214 yr 2 hours ago, barho said: some of us have children that are not vaccinated, and thus we can't risk it. Oh I do too. We are very careful with them. They wear masks with friends and around anyone we know that’s not vaccinated. The chance of us bringing it to them is small. But obviously not zero. One turned 12 yesterday and is getting first dose tomorrow.
August 12, 20214 yr Oh, Gov Desantis....you are so very dumb. Why can't the peoiple of his state see through him? "This is going to be with us for a long time," he said. "Covid's not going to go away. We're going to have future trends. That's just natural." Your buddy Trump said (paraphrasing) "this will all go away, one day, very soon we will have zero cases". Now DeDumbDumb says it will not go away? What a true disservice he is the the people of Florida, and in turn our Country. Glad he is getting a task force together to give out antibodies. Maybe give out vaccines first dipstick. https://www.cnn.com/2021/08/12/health/florida-covid-rapid-response-teams/index.html

August 12, 20214 yr 5th graders at Georgia school are sent home due to Covid-19 https://www.cnn.com/2021/08/11/us/georgia-covid-cobb-county-schools/index.html If only there had been some way to see this coming or prevent it?

Just like that guy Oh and for the record I don't agree with how Cuomo handled the pandemic. See, some us us can look at these things objectively. Both Cuomo and Trump fought a political war instead of doing what was right for the people they are supposed to govern. Both are scum.
