*sigh*Argh! Angry, Confused, Scared.

My kid has some friends who have it, I'm super tempted to have him go hang out with them and actively try to get it, so that he'll get it, get over it, and be good for a long while.  He's 16.  I have zero worries about it for him, or my daughter (18).

If they were little kids, I'd worry even less.

Hard to believe people can actually think like this.

Is it?  I just found out my kid was exposed.  I still have zero worries.  I told him to stay away from people, especially my mom who has some health issues.  Told her too (we all live together).  She expressed no fear, just said that she was sad she couldn't hug him for a week.  He's already doing virtual school. I told him not to go anywhere else, so he drives around a bit (alone in his own car).  We will wear masks when going to the grocery store and whatnot.  Physical distance from people when we need to go out.  Mostly stay home (we went and looked at Christmas lights last night.  In our car. With no one else. Is that ok?).

I'm not sure what you want from me?  Should we start freaking out? Panic and chaos should ensue?  Or can we just take reasonable precautions like we've already been doing for 9 months and keep living the dream?
