Then don't send your daughter. There is also a tournament in Maryland next week with teams from MD, PA, MA, and VA. Go ahead and stay locked in your house until a vaccine is available. All the reporting of the increase in cases is leaving out the continuing decrease in mortality rate and deaths. Not to mention teenagers have been shown to not be at risk to complications from the virus. People are entitled to make their own decision based on guidance from their state and local government.

Funny, I would love to hear the tune you sing after your kid attends one of these tournaments and she passes it to a innocent loved one with complications. This goes to show you how self absorbed, self centered lax parents are.

Soooo... the 99% survival rate virus should keep everyone from enjoying life, sports, restaurants. Since facts matter. Deaths per year....Heart disease kills 650k, cancer 600k, accidents 170k, respiratory disease 160k. Oh yea.. that’s every year. If you decide to not participate that’s your decision. I want to have MY decision just as you have yours.

Yes, you're right. But what is the one thing that these don't have in common with covid?? Oh yeah, they're not easily transmitted person to person. Just remember, your decision will impact others.

Infections in children are mild

For clarity on what these findings might mean for kids and their parents, we turned to Kristin Moffitt, assistant professor of pediatrics at Harvard Medical School and associate physician in pediatrics in the Division of Infectious Diseases at Boston Children’s.

“What seems to be consistent so far, in multiple settings in multiple countries, including the U.S., is that the majority of COVID-19 infections in individuals under the age of 19 tend to be mild,” she explained. “Infection in pediatric patients of all ages tends to be associated with significantly lower rates of hospitalization and significantly lower rates of critical and severe illness.”
