Wow. Tough guy trolling the mom of a handicapped kid who wrote about the struggles of her kid. Zero sympathy. True trollish behavior. Almost eotl like. Maybe you aren’t the baby bear troll after all.

I have it on good authority that kids that age don't get the disease. (Unless you ddon't consider posters friendly to you in this thread to be a good authority.)

Oh please. For your reference that’s what you actually call strawmanning. My kid was one of the first to come down with it. No one here ever said “you’re lying” to me. What we’ve said is they don’t come down with a severe form of the disease (mine was sick 2 days with bouts of asthma through 2020 summer, while I was severely ill 30+…,long covid for almost a year).

So predictable. No one is listening to this type of reporting. The train has left the station. Maybe they would be more credible if they reported all pediatric emergencies throughout the year (RSV comes to mind in certain parts of the country this past summer).

Or maybe report on the pandemic of covid +, a-symptomatic people clogging up ER rooms across the country - scared for their life that they are sent home with zpack and prednisone.

Well there still is about a 1/3 panicked out of their minds still. Mostly blue checks, some here on this forum. It’s this group the fear porn Is targeted to. They are the ones clogging up the er rooms in Vermont. It’s like the “handmaids tale” but for covid.

I am vaccinated, and I mostly just meet people outside. No need for more than that, unless they are a close talker. Then I mask up, which reminds them to back off.

When it rises to anti-social behavior there is clearly a problem.

It works on my bro in law out in CA. He is Mr Mask and any and everything else.

Went to a get together about a week ago. Found out someone there tested positive. He immediately makes an appointment to get in and see his doctor. He was freaked out (again). Wasn't feeling bad. No symptoms...but had to get in to see his doc. Doc said he was fine.

Bro in law decided he better quarantine anyway and is still in his basement.

The blue check panic crowd has been hung out to dry.. This week has seen almost complete abdication of federal responsibility for covid management. Tough trash talk at a virus was silly to begin with, as if a virus listens. Even common sense guidance coming out of the CDC is laughable due to timing. Hyped pediatric #s across the country are a last gasp from a group of people who peddle in contrived fear. If only they could tell the whole story behind the number(s). Here in rainy AZ, positivity rate is going up, hospitalizations going down. Trending very similar to other omicron surges. Cross fingers this remains true. If you are a white male over 65, AZ can be a dangerous place to be.

The reality is that we are now endemic, for now anyway, if omicron continues to outcompete deadlier strains. Pfizer and Merck have made a ton of money and now the government will sit on a mountain of almost useless anti virals that may not even be needed. In the meantime, MABs are are in short supply and high demand. Comedy of errors and miscalculations on strategy. Throw away your cloth masks, because NOW they don't work and buy earth friendly surgical masks and K/N 95s to protect you from what's turning out to be cold. And by the way, the Flu is back - the comback kid of 2021/22. You can't make this stuff up.

How many "zero risk" posts would you like me to quote?

Is "blue check" another name for "covidian"? I'm trying hard to keep up.

I wonder about dad.

He is still limiting activity it seems and meeting people outside.

- he is vaxxed
- presumably boosted
- from what I can gather he is relatively young.
- has no health issues

And yet acts as if he is at some kind of real risk.

His family, his call. I think what you and I have a problem with is his projection on others behavior and his one size fits all myopic approach to fighting Covid. My balanced approach has worked for my family with zero Covid unfortunately some cant respect it because we didnt do it their way. They either dont understand or choose to ignore that every situation is different.

I agree his family his call. I just think he is overreacting/paranoid.

Go for it. Dare yah. I’m sure you’ll find some hyperbole out there but no one was arguing it was zero risk of catching illness (only near zero risk of death…minuscule risk of hospitalization/long covid…less dangerous than flu and rsv)

Any thoughts on whether Omicron surging cases ( although evidence so far indicates it has mild symptoms ) will impact High School soccer in the next few weeks?

And for those who will comment that this isn’t a major doomsday subject and I agree it isn’t, this is a soccer forum and I’m curious about the potential impact on HS soccer .

Word on the street is that Poway Unified has suspended all sports.
