"My daughter, 11, has been wonderful throughout the pandemic. She social distances at all times, we never have to remind her to put her masks on, and we found a fully virtual scholastic program so she can avoid the significant risks of large crowds in the public schools."
"…we found her with a friend of hers… they know the rules. They are to stay outside and on opposite ends of the driveway or patio. The patio only offers about 5 feet of distance, but we decided that should be enough as long as they stay outside and keep their masks on."
"…when we arrived home on this particular day, both her and her friend were in the living room, sitting on the same couch, not wearing masks, not socially distanced, and each putting their hands into the same bowl of chips."
" Why she would take this kind of risk, I still don’t understand."
"We took all the necessary steps to remain safe. She immediately quarantined in her bedroom for the suggested two weeks. I cleaned the house thoroughly and opened multiple windows to circulate the air. Luckily, we all came out of this debacle safely."
"I still don’t feel I can trust her, though. I understand it’s normal for her to make mistakes, but this wasn’t forgetting to turn a light off or close the refrigerator. She put her life at risk. How do we start building the trust back?" - #TrustIssues 🤣
Sometimes we have to demonstrate absurdity by being absurd. It's an extremely powerful tool. And often hilarious.

So, to Mr/Ms Trust Issues, whoever you are, we know you're out there. Know you are loved. To "safety"!

Can someone ELI5 what's wrong with #FocusedProtection? We know in Feb2020 who the at-risk groups were. If we truly wanted to #FlattenTheCurve (aka keep our hospitals from being overwhelmed) it's common sense to direct our medical and social energy at protecting those demos.
But, instead of focusing our scarce resources and community energy into protecting our seniors, etc, these fools demanded we "lock everyone down!", which went against every Pandemic Playbook we had. It was an elitist panic move, and we've been suffering the consequences since.
The concept of #FocusedProtection is absolutely correct, and to pretend otherwise is dangerously naive. And a big driver of our current catastrophe is the fact that so many "experts" freaked out, and embraced a never-before-attempted LockDown, defying all actual science and data.

The entire comment section of this 👇 post is an object lesson in progressive cultural hypocrisy. The people who decry "gentrification" in cities are accusing this VA town of racism, etc - for asking the fleeing residents of Blue States to #StopTheSpread of cancerous policies.
It's apparently "narrow minded" to not want your area overrun by people who don't understand or care about your culture. Is gentrification / complete reimagining of e.g., the South Bronx now okay? Can we all move to Tanzania and replace their culture with ours? Or just Red areas?
The word "progress" has become a synonym for "everything I want is good, everything you want is bad". Has this person ever been to Rappahannock? It seems like they assume it's the local KKK HQ, and needs some fixin up! …with their "progressive" magic, of course.

True story: bought tix to an outside NYC Parks event two weeks ago. Showed up w/ kids, and saw everyone was wearing masks outside, distanced, etc. So we got in line, prepared to ask if masks were optional. Instead they demanded our #VaxxPass.

1/
So, not only were they making everyone wear masks, outside, distanced, they were also demanding proof of shots. We asked why, and the young security officer was super shitty to us, and called his supervisor.

2/
It's then we noticed that the entire staff were wearing tight-fitting N95s, outside, in the high heat. They were visibly struggling to breathe in the heat, hard to speak, the masks billowing in/out, and sucking to their faces with each breath.

Folks, when the NYT says you're being hysterical… you may want to sit down: nytimes.com/2021/10/08/bri…
"“It may only get worse,” read a Politico headline. “The new school year is already a disaster,” Business Insider reported." … "In The New York Times, an epidemiologist predicted that cases would rise in September because children were going back to school."
"And what actually happened? Cases plunged."

Apologies it took a few days to compile 🙂 but here are some highlights of the @OpenschoolsUS / @AFTunion #MaskPanel with @rweingarten @TracyBethHoeg @PatriceHarrisMD @IrwinRedlenerMD and @DrJBhattacharya 👇
One of the main reasons we held this important #MaskPanel discussion on Masks, COVID, Kids & Schools is because many experts have not been allowed to share their opinions and POV, w basic science and immunology being censored as "disinformation". @TracyBethHoeg address this here:
Here’s an interesting exchange: @TracyBethHoeg @PatriceHarrisMD @DrJBhattacharya and even @IrwinRedlenerMD point out that kids don’t wear masks well. @PatriceHarrisMD implies that we need better enforcement in schools: #MaskPanel
