Can't read do much more than we are now, just keep up the hygiene & social distance.

I'm not sure how long they can keep the rules going tho. I've been taking my kids to the park to run & before Easter - alone. Now we're driving past several because they're crowded. Also I've a friend who's home & put her kid back in day care, my elderly parents are going shopping daily, more cars on road, neighbors are always having guests/going out (they're not quiet about it).

People are feeling too confident. It scares me.

I wrote the above comment. Agree about playgrounds. It's tough telling your 4 year old she can't use them then seeing adults on the swings!! First time I noticed it's really affecting her. So now we're limited to green spaces without playgrounds.

Just for the record everyone i wrote the ‘shoot em’ comment and upon reflection it was pretty aggressive! Crazy times, sorry, i lost it a bit (6 days in a row, our local playground full of men and woman doing chin ups! While the kids are watching, desperate to slide!)

It will be easier to social distance in winter, I find the nice weather draws people out. I plan to continue do what I am doing. I normally get the flu shot, my kids have never had it, they are teens. What are people’s thoughts on getting the vaccine for kids, I have found not giving it to them over the years has really built up their immune systems. They are up to date with all the other vaccinations and have had a few extra when we went to Bali.

My 3 year old has had it every year since 6 months will be getting it again this year I don’t see the harm in it better to have protection than not

I will take precautions. We are regional and currently have 1 active case, down from 10 so the risk right now is pretty low. But it would be all too easy for someone to bring it back from out of town. I will continue on as I have been until either a vaccine is found or cases are zero nation wide.

Not really can only keep doing what we're doing. Always keep the pantry & freezer stocked. Stay away from other people because we don't like them anyway lol ....my guard is definitely coming down. Before when my husband came home from work I'd make him shower, we'd wash his clothes straight away, disinfect the doorknobs etc now I don't do any of that. I'm sure i'm not the only one. We live more regional though so not as much risk.

Yes it’s a big concern. Especially since also the there are less confirmed cases and people will then become complacent. I think we can expect a second wave likely worse than the first when we start to lift restrictions.

Plan... continue as I am. Social
Isolation, social distancing and frequent washing of hands. Also, we will all go get the flu shot.
