Time to Play

Social Isolation had nothing to do with it. Lets not pretend kids arent out playing with friends, soccer, or even protesting without a mask.

Well at least you now know COVID is safer for children 17 and under compared to the flu (With a vaccine). Time to open up schools and sports.

A lot of diseases are less severe in prepubescent childhood, like chicken pox, mumps, some types of measles. Some diseases are not less severe. Since this is, by definition, the first year of research and health statistics for Covid-19, no one knows which group it is in.

You can do whatever you want with yourself and your kids.

If you think you are making an informed decision when no one knows yet what the facts are, you're not. You're making a bet.

When it comes to children, stats say my child is more likely to die from flu. do you disagree? I guess we should have had kids wearing masks every flu season. lol I guess we've all been gambling with our kids lives during state cup. :rolleyes:

Did you have your kids play soccer during flu season? I know that was like 40 years ago, if you did, why did you risk their lives to dying from the flu? We both know that the flu kills more children under 17 than COVID now.

We all take risks. I'm sure you're comfortable with the ones you are taking.

To be honest I didn't really pay attention during the parents meeting, but I did catch that the girls can't do their normal team cheers before games in the batters circle because of the proximity to each other. The girls don't have to wear masks in the dug out by they have to be spread apart as much as possible. I know a lot of the parents like to sit in the outfield anyway so they can sneak some adult beverages.
 
I just got back from our daughter's 1st soccer practice in a field. All the parents dropped of the girls, they had to take the temperature, they were wearing mask, each one had a square and they couldnt leave the square. They were sprinting with a good 10 feet distance from each other. The Coach had a mask and maintained distance.

So, I started walking to the other side of the park, and I find baseball players with no social distancing, softball players huddled up, and 5v5 basketball game for some 30+ old men.

I just shook my head thinking, only the young soccer players are stuck following the rules. LOL

It's really interesting to realize that there are so many people who lack flexibility, fortitude, and patience. This generation, the "me" generation, probably could not have survived WWI or WW2. The US deaths during WW1 from military action was about 54,000 and another 63,000 from the Spanish flu of individuals in the military, for a total of about 117,000. Less than what we have lost in six months from covid. But hey, out of site out of mind.

About 70% for seasonal flu.

Even with kids receiving flu vaccine shots, they are effected exponentially more by the flu virus then the Covid virus. ALL DATA points show kids are fine to play.

You do realize it is not that kids will get really sick from covid but that they will spread it to their parents, teachers (if school resumes) family and friends. Then all those people will spread it to others.
 
Beautiful night at the Great Park tonight. I felt safe. I saw all the soccer players, coaches and the parents following all the rules. Others sports, not so much and wont snitch on the hoop players but.........All and all a great night and the girls had fun :)
