Formerly DT: COVID-19 - Featuring Lots of Politics, now CR because political talk not going away

[dcbc 14388]

Just got the word from our local little league talking about starting practices back up 5/31 and games 6/15.  Supposedly more details in a few days, but zero mention of what precautions they might take.  Just the standard line of "the governor said we could."

Wife has a compromised immune system from chemo several years ago.  And with the propensity of 11 year olds to touch their faces (especially during the summer), I can't see how risk can be minimized while these kids are throwing a ball back and forth or packing onto a dugout bench.

Kiddo said he'd play, but no big if we decided otherwise.  Hate the thought of pulling him because it's his first season.  But that's the last factor on the list.

Anyone have any thoughts on the subject?

I feel you. I just had to tell my about-to-turn-16yo she couldn’t take a job offer to work in a gym with her friends as her first job to pay for gas. My oldest just graduated Tech and will never get to cross the stage. I hate that they’re losing these milestones we all enjoyed.

For what it’s worth, being outdoors should help reduce transmission in the air, but I certainly wouldn’t be comfortable with the shared bats and helmets. Who knows with the ball itself.

Yeah, told my 14 year old he wasn't going to get to go with the other football players to the crossfittish gym strength camp, but arranged for him to workout at a coworker's house with 15 feet of distancing and a full Olympic weight set.  Also looking at squat racks for the house, but they are mostly backordered.

Ugh. I found out last night that the camp my daughter attends is going forward as planned and on schedule. They also announced it on Instagram, so I found out from my daughter (not ideal). I  My daughter is deeply depressed right now and looks forward to camp more than any other single thing. She was happier last night than she has been in weeks.
Camp kids probably need camp this summer more than any other time in their lives. 

Pro: the health director (and part owner) of the camp is an RN with a Masters in public health and they are following an enhanced version of the CDC guidelines along with those promulgated by ACA and YMCA. Nobody wants to be the summer camp that caused a coronavirus spike, and this camp is doing all they can while maintaining some version of normalcy.

Con: Camp is a mass gathering of people from multiple geographic regions who are likely to be asymptomatic for a longer period of time. This particular camp (no CR) skews towards families that are likely to have dismissed the risk of coronavirus as a hoax or panic and are more likely to have disregarded sensible guidelines and required monitoring prior to getting on the bus. it draws campers heavily from the following places that combine spotty testing with rising or plateauing rates of confirmed infection: Texas (especially East and Greater Houston), Oklahoma, Tennessee, Kentucky, Arkansas, Georgia, Missouri, and Mississippi. 

Mental health is incredibly important and camp has a profoundly positive impact on my daughter and other kids. On the other hand I don’t want her getting sick and I don’t want her to be a vector for disease. It’s not likely that she would be infected as a result of attending camp. But it’s possible, maybe even at a high single digit level.

Have the same issue here.  Just told the kids there was no camp this year.  Risk is too high.  Close quarters and kids coming in from everywhere who have been around who knows what.  Told them we would do a blow out vacation after all the shit has died off.

I personally think sending all kids to a one month camp, and quickly establishing herd immunity amongst the youth, would be the ideal solution to all this. The medical risk is actually low to them, other than all the pregnancies and STDs which would occur. Then, school could begin on time will little risk of the virus spreading amongst these germ infested gremlins.

Same here except the camp mine goes to has basically said they will come out with guidelines before opening. My youngest is ready to go tomorrow, but they need to roll out some sort of information of what their plan is before we get into this discussion.

My daughter is going to camp in late June for a week. They don't have any outside contact for that whole week and we plan on keeping her home for at least a week after. The only issue would be if it somehow came in with an asymptomatic kid, who then managed to spread it to the other kids, who were all also asymptomatic for a week, then my kid came home and was also asymptomatic for another full week. 

Also it's a much safer situation than when they inevitably go back to school in August or September. 

[South Austin 52037]

I'm also mulling over the camp issue.  My daughter is scheduled for a two-week camp in late July/early August, and she's been looking forward to it for months, more so since she's effectively been under house arrest since Spring Break.  Yesterday her camp announced that the summer sessions will proceed as planned, but they're working on particular safety precautions to augment the CDC/State of Texas guidelines.  They also generously modified their cancellation policy, and we can now get a full refund if we cancel at least 48 hours before the start of her session, which is a big deal because the camp cost $3,300, nothing to sneeze at.  So I'm going to see how the first several weeks of the summer shake out, both with earlier sessions of this camp as well as the Austin area, and will make my decision in mid-July.

Our kids are past camp age, but if we were still in y'all's shoes....we'd be making decisions the same way.  Leaning towards going, with precautions about contacts after they return.

Our kids were "go to language schools overseas for a month" age.....those plans died a month ago.  Now, it's "let's see if you can get any sort of job" for their summer plan.

Buy the kid his own helmet. Every kid should have their own helmet, gloves, bat... Keep the kids and parents spread out, preferably out of the dugout... All they share is the ball and tell them not to touch their face or lick their fingers... Count on the UV to help kill any virus. Not much else you can do.

Healthy children should be fine at camp. Understand that there is some risk for them. And use logic to determine the asymptomatic scenarios. The camp could be fine, but how do the kids return home? The outside exposure will likely happen en route or during departure.

Can you isolate your child for 2 weeks? Probably you’d be fine isolating at home one week (more realistic), then monitoring 2nd week. They keep to bedroom, bathroom, backyard for one week. Keeping in touch with other campers for exposures. Still keeping them sheltering around the house or backyard the full two weeks.

This is all simpler than the idea of 50 million students going back to school daily in the Fall.

IMHO this is going to feel pretty stupid when a year from now they prove definitively that  95+% of the cases [and almost all the deaths] are from breathing air of an infected person in closed spaces. 

I bet its almost impossible to get this outside. Extremely rare from a doorknob. 

I get the caution but its time to start getting a little more specific on a lot of things. Where we have data, get into it and use it wisely. 

Where we dont, use some common sense and assume that in terms of transferability this will act like other coronas.

This is a no brainer man- send her to camp. Worst case scenario is she gets sick and that’s a high high high likelihood of not being any big deal. 

If you are concerned about her being a vector just quarantine her for 14 days. Or test her- not super expensive and more or less available anywhere now aren’t they? 

Don’t overthink this. Kids weren’t made to be shut in, the risk to her is infintesimally small, and you can go back to quarantine when she gets back to not be a vector. Or test.

My kids are signed up for late July.  6 weeks ago, I would've never imagined them going or the camp even being open, but we are leaning towards going.  I guess by the time we go, there will have been a number of sessions in the books.  They seem to really care, and with the age of some of the staff, they better.

As for the surrounding states, I kind of think the price point weeds out a lot of the mouthbreathers.  But you're definitely going to have a lot kids who are going to be active this summer.  As I've mentioned in this thread, my kids are playing soccer again and as soon as baseball gets a green light, they'll be doing that.  I'm sure we will go to the pool at some point this summer.  I don't think you'll find many kids whose parents allow them to attend summer camp, yet don't allow them to do other normal summer activities.

My wife wants to sign me up for the adult camp at Sherwood Faire.  I have to pick 6 classes, and I’ve narrowed the main list down to this

• Archery
• Axe and Knife Throwing
• Blacksmithing
• Chainmaille
• Corset Making
• Discoverie of Witchcraft
• Egyptian Bellydance
• Herbalism
• Leatherwork
• Mead Making 
• Mug Making
• Swordplay

Somewhere in that list are 6 classes that will help me get through the covid shutdown in the fall.
