Subject: People make choices for what they deem best for their family. Not everyone will make the same choices, but if it doesn't directly affect you or your family, why do you care? If parents work from home and school is remote, quarantining is fairly easy. | |

But when most are making sacrifices for the sake of others and public health and asking their kids to do the same, the fact that a few New England schools continue to send dancers all over the countryside every weekend and then splash it all over Instagram and FB will raise some eyebrows." on 06:30:07 11/24/20 Tue [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] |
[> [> [> Subject: Exactly. If you are going to travel at a time when the CDC is literally begging people NOT to travel and then put it on social media and then be shocked when people respond with this kind of question. | |

Date Posted: 07:24:17 11/24/20 Tue I think this is where people differ philosophically- many people think that if they stay within the rules, it is ok to travel- and that is understandable. I also think it's important to be really specific about what a real quarantine looks like- it doesn't include dance classes or 1:1 privates or even trips out to get essentials if you are really doing it right. Some states can test out - that fits the rule book, but doesn't really speak to the timeline of this virus. The bigger question is whether traveling at all is a good public health choice during the pandemic. My family is saying no to travel at this point, even if we could meet quarantine/testing requirements upon our return to our home state. Others are coming at it differently- and so they travel. I don't fault those that travel. As long as they follow the rules of their state, it's fine with me. But... I do think this kind of non-essential travel may lead to stronger restrictions down the road, and as a parent that is really looking forward to a potential major in the summer, I might be inclined to side eye some of these schools (not just Kenny by the way) if it turns out majors are shelved due to exponentially increasing numbers.
