I wanted to start on a happy note: my state hit 70% today for our vaccination rate! Congrats! I saw somewhere that the national rate for full vaccination is 48% and I just shake my head. I knew it was never going to be high, but not even 50%? So infuriating

Our city is at 72% for at least one dose and almost 60% for fully vaccinated! We are in Texas, so I’m pretty proud of us.

I can't get my 86 year old grandma to vaccinate.
This is after she complained that sending vaccinations overseas was unfair because we developed them and we should have them all.
But she won't take one.
MAKE IT MAKE SENSE.

Hi - I won't go into all the details but I was in a blind rage yesterday about masking and my kids summer camp (same place as pre-school) yesterday and the verbal gymnastics they went through to act like they did nothing wrong. I think it is perfectly clear now that everyone needs to remind my kids to keep their masks on.
I am also angry at my kids for lying about wearing their masks. My oldest lost privilege's (privileges'??) for the weekend.
I do not know if I am overreacting. Should I be pulling my kids from things if others aren't masking? Numbers here are good, but I want to be as safe as possible until they can get vaccinated. I also feel like I should be keeping them home while I work.
Most of this is rhetorical, but I am just so worked up.

The reminder and promise of Elsa tattoos (from her Yaya) seems to be working. Kids are not vaccinated and guess what they finally got their first case of covid since September when we started. Coincidence? I think not.

I wouldn't want my kids indoors with unvaccinated, maskless people It is just unbelievable, masks were being worn by everyone and then all of a sudden...they just weren't. No email, no communication. So when I ask WTF is going on I am told "masks were never required." Which is just some utter bullshit and they know it. We deserve a communication that masks will no longer be enforced, especially since they sent a survey out in May and also told us they weren't changing their policy. I back in my rage.

Then I take my oldest to gymnastics and she pulls her mask down when she thinks I am not looking. I am so upset with everyone and everything right now and I don't know if a punishment is the right thing to do or if it will make her be more secretive. God I am so sorry for unleashing here.

I would be pissed if daycare/camp changed their policy without notice. I don’t know though honestly how I would handle my kids telling me they are wearing them but not actually doing it. I feel in some ways kids have gone through so much and the mask wearing may be a peer pressure thing by kids whose parents don’t make them mask. But on the other hand lying isn’t allowed in our house so I don’t know what I would do.
Fwiw I just got Ds1’s summer academy letter in the mail and the school said they have to follow all school year Covid rules throughout the summer.

Since we are ranting. This thread basically captures my feelings. Yes! All the childless people I know, and people with kids aged 12 and up, are seriously confused about why I still rarely go anywhere and why we're all still masked. I'm over here like: must be nice.

We’ve been taking the kids out (we’re at our lowest #’s since like last July) but they are always masked if we are inside. One of H’s coworkers actually asked H why I was still masked when I stopped in since I’m vaccinated. H was like she had Ds1. She’s not going to go about maskless while he still needs to wear one and protect him. He’s like that must suck having to keep worrying about your kids.

And anywhere in public they are masked! Same. And I've got to tell you, I'm heartbroken for my girls that they're basically missing out on summer again. Like I really wanted to take them to the aquarium this year but it's indoors and I just don't trust the (general) public to only be maskless if vaxxed.
