As a parent, I am fully aware of how your kids are the epicenter of your universe. Worrying about your children is what good parents do. That said, I think the chances of "bad outcomes" for kindergarden-aged children are virtually nil. That said, every family must do what is best for them. There's no cookie-cutter answer that applies to all.
Georgia boy who 'brought joy to everything' dies of Covid amid surge
"He loved everybody. He never met a stranger," said Wyatt Gibson's godmother. The boy's life was cut short by Covid-19 as cases are rising across the country.www.nbcnews.com
My son was born 3 months premature. I'm not taking any chances. And if approved, his pediatrician has already suggested the vaccination.
How will covid effect this season
- Thread starter dww07
- Start date
No offense, but there a lot of bad thing that can happen between being “healthy” and being “dead”
It's a fluid situation however and Delta is somewhat of a game changer. We have everyone from children to professional athletes in our ICUs many of who have secondary pneumococcal infections with symptoms so severe between the two that intubation is required. This is the worst pandemic I have seen in over 25 years of practicing medicine.
Yes, then the data will demonstrate any additional risk.
Many folks have been calling for evidence based medicine for years. That is what guides me personally. I also try to stay away from fear based opinion and stick to what we do know.
Here is a recent post on just this on medpage today: Beware it is on mask mandates, so a political landmine.

If indeed Delta is a game changer, then the data will demonstrate this. So far, not. But I am open to the possibility. I also note that the Delta variant in India and Britain demonstrated a quickly rising case load and a quickly descending case load. Let's hope for similar results.

With the uptick in cases, is there talk of limited crowds again? Or are we set to go full throttle?
Thread lock soon to follow.

I think people will lose their minds if they try to go back to any sort of lockdowns/restrictions.
There shouldn’t be. People should make their own choice to attend or not
Better than losing their lives.
Hope you’re ready to feel that way for a long long time. Bc this virus isn’t likely to go anywhere. People have the choice to be vaccinated and people have the choice as to whether they want to be in large groups.
Fab raised a simple question. Quaz made a prediction which is almost certainly true. Please don't go political with this thread.
I'll leave it alone because I'm not trying to get the thread locked. There are some logical inconsistencies being posited here.
I'm done if I'm up in the corner for basketball again this year, it's just not worth the price.
If you are vaccinated the chances of you getting sick enough to be put in the hospital due to COVID is literally zero. Thats the science. Very consistent.
Have been close to pulling the trigger on tickets for ND but I'm going to wait until week prior with the way things go.
I got mine and if you want to go about without yours, that is your decision. Not my fault if something happens. My brother will not get vaccinated and that’s his decision.
Don’t expect me to stay home when I did my part.
It’s Monday morning, I’m vaxxed, I’m being cautious and OPTIMISTIC!
Always happy to respond to any thread started by Fab!!!
I hope to meet Famous Fab one day! 😉

71 years old, fully vaccinated driving 13 hours from Northern Virginia to Tallahassee with my wife---very respectful of the "science", but at this point, Dr. Fauci and the entire CDC staff will not stop us from taking our seats in Doak----looking forward to seeing all of you in the Section 8 parking lot---Go Noles!
I don’t think there should be changed. But Disney is redoing mask rules. Locally the school board is saying kids will have to do that in school. People in this area are starting to panic.
Edit - just learned they canceled a big Alzheimer’s Project fundraiser I was sponsoring. Scheduled 8/14 at The Moon.
Tally is wigging out.

Not entirely true, know 2 people on ventilators and both are fully vaccinated, no other medical conditions prior to covid. Tallahassee.com also had an article where several people, think it was 5, are vaccinated but hospitalized with covid.
Would love to meet you too! I'm hoping to be at the ND game on Labor Day Weekend.
If you are under 60 and healthy your statistical chance of dying from COVID is also nearly 0 regardless if you are vaccinated. That is also very consistent in the scientific data.
Keep politics out, unless I agree with you I think is what he was saying.
Another federal lockdown is just days away. It will be interesting to see how it plays out in Florida.
Because many people can’t discuss this topic honestly, accurately, or objectively. These threads always get hijacked no matter how well intentioned the OP is. Hardly your fault and not indicative of any intention behind your question.
But here’s the thing, there aren’t literally unlimited amounts of people for this to infect. What you’re seeing now is in hindsight a fairly predictable post everything being open wave. Delta is way more transmissible and the country has been wide open for like 6 weeks now. Sporting events, concerts, festivals, airplanes, etc are now wide open. So basically whoever didn’t get the vaccine is very likely to get COVID at this point. But in the next month or so many of the people who were going to get it will have done so already. The vaccine does seem less effective against the delta variant but it’s still very good. The booster shot is prob going to be a thing by the end of the year and it very well could be a thing every year just like the flu shot.

Because almost every time these threads go political and/or bring out the COVID experts who push their version of 'facts' on both sides of the fence. We aren't 'fact checkers' nor are we going to babysit adults fighting over political issues.
You are a trooper! Also coming in from NoVa, but we’ll be flying. I can’t do those long drives just for a weekend anymore.
