My wife works at a large preschool program, and they have to send kids home all the time. On the one hand, you could say parents are idiots. However, for some it's a big challenge to keep a kid home since school is basically a babysitter while they're at work.

Yep, my wife is an infant teacher at a pre-school. Parents will load their babies up on Tylenol and decongestants and bring the babies in. It wears off after a few hours and temps spike and they have to call the parents to come get them. They still will not show up for hours and be pissed off that they were inconvenienced.

Don't disagree but welcome to the real world. Sick kids go to school everyday just like sick adults go to work everyday.

I don't get the correlation.... Long before covid 19 kids went to school sick and adults went to work sick. It's a puritan work ethic thing more than anything I think.....
Now masks keep kids from blowing their noses. Bullshit |

The point was that the mandates are almost completely in effect because people don't give a shit if they're infringing on the "freedom" of others as long as they can do whatever the **** they want, which includes spreading sickness to others..... so, you end up with a bunch of snotty kids and potentially their parents complaining about a mask mandate that would in theory actually help with having irresponsible parents and/or kids going to school sick. It would be like showing up to work in a skimpy dress and no underwear, being forced to put on a work uniform, then complaining casual Friday was canceled and there's now a dress code..... you're the reason there are rules, Meredith..

Looks like Moderna booster is probably going to mirror Pfizer's. They'll probably make it available to high-risk people, but not really a need for everyday folks.

It's semantics, but I think "taking a stance" means making a formal recommendation, and they're basically saying "Eh, there's no harm in it, but we don't see a strong need either."
In case it's not clear, this is the same thing they did with Pfizer. The committee will then take their synopsis and decide whether to recommend people get it. And chances are, it'll be the same deal as with Pfizer. I just keep waiting for the J&J recommendation to come through. I have to imagine it'll be a different story given its relatively low effectiveness. |
