There should be no fear when there is action. Your right. Its not red or blue, its covid

You are right, its not red or blue, its covid

Yes, everyone wears a mask including children over 2, drop off and pick ups are done one at a time, no one enters the house, temps are taken, parents wear masks, hands are washed, children are socially distanced while in care, sanitation done throughout day

I am not able to keep my kiddos 6 ft apart but we do drop offs and pick ups outside.
The kids don’t wear masks either. I don’t think they would be able to all day. I serve kids 1-5 yrs of age.

I wear a mask and limit my interactions with others outside of care. I do what I can but refuse to live in fear.

I don’t fault or blame those that believe differently and won’t spend my time “educating” those that believe differently than I do.

I can’t change others so I do what I can do to feel safe and protect the health of my family.

The bottom line is, this virus is spreading at a rapid rate and more people are dying everyday because people are not wearing masks, they need to be educated and they need to listen. These lockdowns happen because people are not doing what they are supposed to be doing. This is too important to not be compliant and to not be educating those that need to be

People need to not let this virus knock on their door and take those they love away before they realize how serious it actually is

Herd Immunity is the GOAL of an effective vaccine program.

Herd Immunity is not a verb.

[VictoryCare]

Exactly! Thank you Cat Herder for reiterating what I have been saying all along, that Herd Immunity IS the goal of an effective VACCINE program, and not that of exposure 😊

I agree with CH about Herd immunity as I have stated before; but I AM growing concerned with the repercussions of this disease.....schools are closing again, sports are being cancelled, etc. It is my fear that Biden (and I do NOT agree) will do something rash and close the country down....he will at least mandate a nationwide mask order which does nothing but cause a war between the do and do nots....but ??? I have always worn my mask; not sure if it helps but it doesn't hurt so???

My job concerns me right now...just do not want to close anymore.. There is only so much an FCC child care program can come back from....I have three openings and cannot buy a kids that is compatible with my program....I do believe covid has something to do with that.......Covid will be first on the agenda immediately after inauguration for Biden I'm afraid. My clients are constantly talking about it and I have NO answers.

How much more can the small business take?

Covid is real and is terrible for the families that have suffered and lost loved ones....two families in my county lost a loved one yesterday....sad all around.

So, covid is horrible for families from many different standpoints.

[Cat Herder]

I have never disagreed. The issue is terminology, not our goals.

Vaccination is a form of exposure.

Never have I suggested licking COVID patients. I think that is where the issue came in. Vocabulary, only.

I am forced to sit in Pandemic classes annually, for the last 26 years by my employer. I was not arguing the merits of vaccination, I take my flu shot each and every year. I also do not allow non-vaccinated kids into care unless they have an immunocompromising issue documented by their physician.

You are right, it is hard to understand tone or intent through words on a website

[VictoryCare]

Annalee, I am so sorry

[VictoryCare]

But, if you look at the places where there are spikes and where they are getting ready to lockdown again it IS because people are NOT following CDC guidelines. When the guidelines are not followed than we, the people, are bringing these problems down upon us ourselves

[VictoryCare]

Its not Bidens fault or Trumps, it is ours. Everybody needs to follow the guidelines religiously, or this will continue to be a vicious cycle, and it will only get worse. This is basic common sense

[Annalee]

If the government protocol was more lenient, I probably would be one of those that would live safely but not in fear...as I believe we need to move on..... The government protocols leave me in fear of my livelihood. I do NOT like that.....Right or wrong, I have aged, gained weight, depressed, etc.....and THAT is what is causing the most health issues.....

[VictoryCare]

Annalee, again, I am so sorry, I can feel how much pain you are in. But please, I'm not trying to be a jerk, really, but the government is so strict with their protocols because people in this country are not doing what we are supposed to do. We need to come together as one and fight this virus together. It won't work with us being so divided. We are all people and human beings and we are ALL suffering unfortunately, but we ALL have to sacrifice right now, together, and do the work
