the risks and benefits of fall activities like in-person school, sports, play dates and birthday parties.and outdoors is safer than indoors. Beyond that, doctors suggest some principles to guide decision-making this fall. Give priority to your most important activities, they say, and skip others. Within your selected activities, look for ways to lessen risk.
“Almost nothing at this point is zero-risk,” says Leana Wen, an emergency physician and public-health professor at George Washington University in Washington, D.C. “Do those activities and reduce risk in those activities, and then try to cut out the other activities that are higher-risk and lower-value.”
Risk accumulates with each activity, she notes. Don’t assume that if you are engaging in one higher-risk activity, you might as well do others.
government schools are the only place most children experience violince they have never been safe.
.opinion can you help the copywriters at . get a grip, please? I went to my 4-yo granddaughter's soccer game on Saturday. Hundreds of kids, parents, and grandparents all having a blast. No masks, no vax requirements. The pandemic's done. Over. Stop the clickbait
flu and pneumonia kill more children every year then have died from covid ... the risk from covid ae highly age related ... your risks go up the older your age not the other way around
My son is wrestling.
Is this kid about to be hit in the face with a soccer ball?
By 2022 everyone will be living in a bubble
No it isn't. But your subscribers want those peasants back to work.
It’s as long as Americans don’t complain.
the benefit of all those activities outweigh any risk of covid to them. they need to live life, not hide under a rock and wither away as weaklings
Yes. Yes. Yes.
Is driving to school safe? Driving to Soccer? Driving to Birthday parties? With no way to prevent car accidents for children under 12 yet, parents are weighing the risks and benefits of fall activities.
Less than 500 deaths from Covid for kids under 12 and you’re asking this question with sincerity?! Of course it’s safe. It’s always been safe… unless you also think bikes are also dangerous.
Selfishness over Safety
Well HELL NO!! But the bigger question is do parents care
The answer is yes. Kids are not getting real sick from Covid-19. There are a few cases, yes, but compared to the infection rate most kids should continue on just like flu season.
My gf picked up a girl she nanny’s from her first day of kindergarten. Almost tripped walking to the car bc she had her mask too high. Gets in the car and says “I just wish I could have seen what the other kids looked like” 😢. In general masks are hurting kids more than COVID.
Spoiler alert: the data show that kids are safe and you should just live your life.
People afraid of Delta and risk calculation doesn’t go in the same sentence. Fear of Delta is more akin to mental illness.
Did Rupert sell this publication to bezos or something? Absolute garbage
No calculate about it. Any child unvaxxed is at risk and anybody in contact with that child is at risk.
wow
Let your kids live. Stop being afraid.
