II'd say do your share and keep your kids inside and let their friends parents know why. Staying home from school, work etc is worthless if parents don't do their share too. You will only extend this by allowing it.
You sound like an anti-vaxxer.flashplayer said:
Kids are more resistant to the virus by and large. So who gives a damn really? If people who are concerned are taking proper precautions, they wouldn't get infected anyway.
You can't hold others accountable for your own health.
No one is perfectly self isolating. You telling me not one of those families has a grandparent living in or visiting? None of the parents are essential workers in healthcare or elsewhere? No family goes to the grocery store?tysker said:To whom would it be spread it, if the kids and their parents are otherwise self-isolating?Gunny456 said:
Holy cow. The whole idea is to not possibly spread the disease.. Kids may not die from it but they can carry it and spread it. Can that not be understood. If we are all having to be forced to do this then it should be done right?
Badace, first thank you. Second, your kids will be better prepared for life's curve balls which will come to everyone eventually. Turns out we don't get to pick and choose which rules we follow as adults. Your kids will thank you one day, maybe not soon but it will happen.Badace52 said:
My neighborhood kids are doing the same thing. I am not letting my kids participate. Even if the neighbor kids are healthy I can't guarantee mine aren't shedding virus after all the possible and confirmed Covid-19 patients I have seen in the ER.
so if my two sons, 8 and 13, wanted to go out and ride their bikes through the park by themselves, then they wouldn't be allowed to?Aggie97 said:
In Hardin County we have 24 hr curfew for anyone under 18. Unless they are with an adult or coming and going to work. Outside of that it can be a $500 fine. So we have told our son he socialize with Fortnite.

It's like a GD block party outside right now. 3-4 families out, with multiple extra kids. 15-20 people or so.
And my 4 y/o is crying b/c he can't join.

Let's not start deputizing HOA's. That will lead to no good.e=mc2 said:My HOA can go **** themselves!law-apt-3g said:

I'm really curious to know the backgrounds of these parents acting like their kids can't carry the virus.

There's enough data out there to say we have gone overboard in most of the country.
Do you want everyone blowing off the rules or just your neighborhood?Beat the Hell said:
Nobody is "acting like their kids CANT carry the virus". They (parents) grew up playing lawn darts and know the true fatality rate of this for sub-seniors is less than the flu. They are also FaceTiming grandparents to protect them.

Dad is more likely to hurt unknown senior on the way to the grocery store than he is to spread coronavirus on the constantly cleaned grocery cart.
That's the tricky thing about social distancing. You really only know if its worked if you don't do it. Do you want to be the canary in the coal mine?Beat the Hell said:
