Since one’s chance of getting COVID-19 are lining up with seasonal flu chances, then you have an extra multiplier, the “chance of getting it” variable. We can use .15 (or 15%). So, someone under the age of 12 has a .075% chance of being hospitalized for COVID-19 and a .00015% chance of dying.

Okay, that's very simple.
For even someone under age 12, the risk is not zero.

So... The adult and responsible thing to do is don't put them at risk!

Easy, done deal.

Wish I had free daily dependable tests, but I will have spent thousands this yr in providing those I am responsible to be more at ease by paying for inefficient and ineffective USA tests. (I have no need to test for myself, only for contact with others). I fly / am in different regions of USA several times/ week.

No free tests in my rural neighborhood. But paying for covid tests is trivial to the medical insurance (not care) of millions of Americans.

Ironically, one of my PT design gigs (since March 2020) is bringing Covid test equipment to the market. Foreign countries are our biggest and most helpful customers. They "get-it". (accurate medical feedback) Very useful for product testing and refinement. As mentioned... The 2000+ deaths / m in USA vs 5-50 deaths / m is a direct illustration of why we are no longer considered a medically advanced society.

Stay safe,. It is very simple to do.
No fear required.

Several other customers didn’t bother either.

I wore one that Costco gave me, but promptly tossed it into the street as I drove away.

Good lord, at least dispose of your mask properly! That is disgusting!

Dude did you really toss it into the street?
Not cool.
Not cool at all.

Have you or anyone you know ever transported a child under the age of 12?

Congratulations, you have put them in more danger or dying than COVID-19.

What’s your excuse for wanting children to die?

Actually it was pretty cool. I wasn’t going to toss it in the Costco parking lot which would result in one of their employees having to pick it up and throw it away. What were you thinking?

[MechAndy]

Sounded like you littered.
That’s what I was thinking.

Sometimes I volunteer to clean up beaches in Monterey.
I’ve never have gotten used to seeing trash thrown about.

So sorry if I misunderstood you.

Right, nothing else in life has any risks, just Covid This is what happened to society in the last year and a half. The damage is done, most people will never recover from this.
