Oh nice. It was not the case at the target I went to today with DS. It still aid recommended. CVS did say something intense like everyone required to wear a mask.

Hoping this sets the tone for the rest of the metro area and becomes the masking at school tagline βWe are in the kid businessβ

Today's daily made a good point about Delta and language. Data so far shows symptomatic breakthrough infections are rare. Rare means at or less than 1% of vaxxed people in this case. But 1% of 165 million people is 1.65 million. So it's statistically rare but in my lay brain, it's common because that's a lot of people.
But also this really is still a pandemic of the unvaccinated, which includes all of our young kids.

God, I wish this would work in my community. Last I checked we were still sitting around 40% fully vaxxed adults.

I NEED MY KIDS VACCINATED NOW. Yes, I saw the tweet about kids in well vaccinated communities. No, I do not live in one of those. Though myself, H and DD do work/school in a county with better numbers than here. I'd still be curious to see it by zip code.

Like for commiseration doublestuf. My neighborhood is at 38% vaxxed. Same numbers all around the south side - or lower- except for the section with a lot of university (faculty and staff) families. Iβm concerned about the grocery store, the playground, the beach. Basically any interaction with strangers. Sigh.

Out of curiosity, when you guys cite vaccination stats ate you sharing total population vaxxed or eligible population vaxxed?

We are on vacation and there is an ice cream store that we wanted to try. (They sell ice cream AND edible cookie dough. Perfect to mix and match. Haha) We went last night and we were the one of 2 families there with masks on. So many people in line. I took dd2 and we waited outside because it was giving me anxiety.

Where's my paper bag?

So are we saying itβs not safe to go inside even if vaccinated (assuming you are wearing a mask(? Is it safe to do outdoor activities with kids?

Like WTF do I do with my kids? Right?! Dh and Dd are supposed to drive to Massachusetts in 2 weeks to visit family. I kind of don't want them to go now because I'm scared. But I also really want them to have that family time. So I'm even more furious at the anti vaxxers now.

addymac thank you. My anxiety is not my friend right now and Iβm not on my best game interpreting things. I get it. 10000%. Iβd say for me, my child is in a mask 95% of the time we are out. We donβt put one on if we are going for a walk or scooter ride around the neighborhood but if we reach a higher traffic area I immediately put a mask on him about a block before. Always mask in a store. And avoiding taking him in stores. Always in a mask on the playground unless heβs literally the only kid. Not doing indoor museums (for my sanity). At the beach we steer very clear of other people even if it means hiking to the other end of the beach. And, I wear a mask everywhere. Walking down the city street I wear one if there are other people in the street. Chances are so low to get it that way but Iβd rather be safe than sorry.

My anti vax CV+ CWer stopped posting stories on iG about natural juice remedies. Turns out her mom is also positive and in the ICU now. But sheβll be ok bc they have faith. Like I get being religious. But at what point do people acknowledge the DOCTORS and NURSES and RTs that are risking their lives to care for your dumbass? And maybe Godβs way of saving you was getting a vaccine out that you refused!!!
