At what point does the Covid-q9 change from a Pandemic become an Endemic?

——
Are schools really having quiet lunches? I teach HS and they are sitting 4 to a booth and talking like normal. The schools people are describing on here are nothing like what I am seeing first hand or how my son describes school (or what I see when I get him from after care hosted at the school). Also, I am in NYS; just not LI. My entire family on LI though describes school as I have experienced it.

No, they aren’t. I just made it up because I like to be dramatic and right.

All kidding aside. In NJ and in private schools, they certainly are.

We all lie for dramatic effect. Like when my daughter was locked outside in sub freezing temps in the name of safety.
Or the teacher in my district who made kids who showed up maskless yesterday (when our district told us that masks were optional) sit in a corner in the back of the room away from the chosen masked ones in front of an open window where they froze all day and weren't allowed to put a coat on or put their hoods up and when they had to speak made them stand in a red box she had taped off on the floor before they were allowed to open their mouth.
Yet this must but only my district because everyone else seems to be living their best school lives and loving school and nothing has changed and kids aren't affected and kids LOVE wearing masks...It's like utopia!

OMG, if I was a parent in that class, you would see my ASS down at that school this morning. Wonder if I know whom that teacher is or my kids do.
Yeah it must just be YOU. Don't you just want to live the unicorn life others live on this board? Not only are THEIR lives perfect, so are their kids now.

It was a 5th grade teacher in an elementary school that wasn't mine so I don't know. The parent who posted about it said if he doesn't get proper action from the district he'll post the teacher's name.
I didn't think segregation was allowed in schools, but here we are.
It's amazing what fear will do to people's brains.
I'm sure this asshole had 3 vaccines coursing through her and was wearing the duck billed platypus mask on, but she's still scared of an unmasked 5th grader.
Perhaps she should find a new career or get herself some help.

Simple poll about masks on children at school.

The government knows masks are doing nothing to help the spread of COVID. There is no benefit to the public when they go out and someone has a mask on...none. We just had a 30% positivity rate while everyone was wearing muzzles.

At this point masks in general but especially for kids is a virtue signaling BS plot to keep fear instilled and for the powers that be to keep control over the narrative. How can anyone not see through this?

And if there are some teachers that are that scared of getting sick from kids perhaps they need to reevaluate their profession and go look somewhere else.

I'm so ***** done with all of this. My 5 year old had one mask free day at school and she was so happy only to have to slap one on her face this morning for no reason at all.

Are the schools delusional to think we are living like this at home?
Not seeing anyone, eating in silence because speaking is bad, staying 6 feet apart from people, not travelling, not seeing friends, not eating in restaurants, not gathering with family?
I think about all the stuff we do on the weekends and I think about my DD having constant sleepovers with her friends where 3 of them share a full sized bed and sleep next to each other! And we don't even covid test before or after! OMG!
OMG Hochul would shit her pants!!!
What would the Superintendent think?

And then this weekend we had birthday cake that someone blew on and we all ate it like crazy psychopaths and I ran around in a dirty gauze mask that I can blow a candle out when wearing and kept pulling it off my face once inside the store and I ate in 3 restaurants and was standing at a bar with no mask on! And I got really crazy and walked from the bar to the bathroom with no mask on because I love to live on the edge like that!

Then I send her back to school on Monday in a mask and she's sitting 6 feet apart and kids are eating lunch on the floor like animals and we play this little game of safety. Don't speak while eating. Until Saturday. Then all bets are off.

Yeah ok.

Can I be your best friend?!

Re: Simple poll about masks on children at school.

It's really getting stupid now. My DD (she's 9) said the other night that she would still wear her mask even if she didn't "have" to at school. I asked her why and she really couldn't express it - but I'm sure it's because they must scare the crap out of them in school.

She said they are doing temp checks again which they haven't done since last year. Things seem to be moving backwards.

I always wonder if these politicians making these "rules" would have a different perspective if they had little kids in school.

Your last sentence.

You KNOW little Johnny or Mary would not have to do any of those things and everything would be lifted ASAP if they just complained once.

But Hochul said when her child was in Kindergarten she didn't want to wear shoes to school and she eventually learned you had to wear shoes to school so that's the same as masks and eventually our kids will just get used to them.

I think that people have lost the ability to properly assess risk.
With vaccines available to the majority of the population, including school aged children, its time to end masking in schools.

Masks are causing a host of learning delays in children, especially those with special needs. Its not necessary at this point. Cloth masks especially are useless, its just theater.

I hate hearing the "kids are resilient" mantra over and over. I don't want my kids to have to be resilient anymore. 2 years in, people have the tools to protect themselves and I can make the choices that work for my family.

especially the resilient part. No, it's not a child's responsibility to safeguard adults and it never was. This is the definition of insanity. I feel so bad for these kids. They only have a small window of childhood and they've already sacrificed 2 years of it. Enough with this nonsense already.

Honestly, I don't even think this is true. Kids aren't that resilient, i think they are more prone to keep things inside because either they don't know how to verbalize their feelings or process the emotion/action. It doesn't mean they aren't impacted or that trauma isn't happening to them that may resurface later on.

That's my point too- kids shouldn't be having to keep adults safe.
Before the vaccine it was- oh well little Johnny can pass it to an adult who is more at risk. 3 vaccines later I don't want to hear that shit anymore
It's not a child's job to bear the burden of protecting adults.
Go protect yourself and leave the kids out of it

^^^ MC09 agree with everything posted above (Re: Adults leaning on kids for protection), and it also made me chuckle.


So much for a "Simple Poll". LOL.

10000% this!!!! This is exactly what I wanted to say but COULDN'T VERBALIZE it myself as an adult!!! You said it perfectly and better than I ever can! Thank you! These kids are NOT resilient. They're traumatized. Who TF knows what lasting affect these past 2 years will have on these kids in the future? NOBODY KNOWS!! Get ready to pay for therapy later on people!! We already have "covid babies" needing therapy for anxiety and speech issues. BABIES with anxiety! All the past 2 years has done is ensure a lifetime of PTSD and internalized issues on the youngest generation. Get ready for it!

100% agree. Adults are responsible for their own health. Full stop. They always have been. There's a vaccine now (as ineffective as it is at actually curbing the spread, this is what they're choosing to stick with so deal, Suzanne). If you need the protection, get vaccinated. Get all the vaccines. Wear 3 masks if you feel you have to. Social distance if you need to. If that's not enough, stay home. Build a bunker. Move to Peru and live in a grass hut off the grid. Do what YOU have to to protect YOURSELF. But stop torturing kids. Saying kids are resilient is trying to make yourself, the adult, feel better about the torture these kids are experiencing. Kids locked outside in freezing temperatures, eating off the floor like dogs?? How is that protecting you, Suzanne?? Adults wouldn't stand for being treated like this, but it's ok to treat kids like this because they're kids?! If they're so worried about curbing the spread, maybe the school staff should be eating lunch silently off the ground outside in freezing temps with no coats. I hear it's hard to catch outside. If you're worried about catching a disease from kids, maybe it's time to find a new profession. Kids have ALWAYS been walking little snot rags. Double masking them won't change that.

I'm so over this shit. STOP TRAUMATIZING KIDS!!! JUST STOP AND GET SOME MENTAL HELP!!!
