I've had covid twice (fully vaccinated) and I felt fine the entire time, didn't even miss a day of working out/exercise. Just sitting around waiting to get "sick".
no, i am not really worried about my kids getting sick from covid.

statistically speaking, putting them in a car or letting them swim at a pool is an order of magnitude more dangerous for my kids than stupid covid is, and i definitely still put my children in cars and let them swim at pools from time to time.

it's all the other bullshit regarding kids and covid - the nonstop testing for every little sniffle or sneeze, the ever-present threat of a 2-week quarantine should they get exposed, the utter nightmare of an entire school BUILDING* or district BUILDINGS* shutting down and going back to remote "learning" for god only knows how long - that is worrisome/pain in the ass.


(*) extra emphasis on "BUILDING" for those afflicted with VSIS.





EDIT:

yeah, basically what TUP said.
