@asscherisme this more contagious strain isn’t ‘new’. It’s been the predominant strain since March. It is not becoming more contagious now. Maybe that will give you some relief. That and unless your kiddos have underlying health conditions the risk is very low even if they catch it.
Yea, we all know the young are less likely to die from C19.
But, perhaps asscherisme is terrified for the innocent old people who may die if her or his kids become virus factories, and spread it before they know they have it.
@qubitasaurus I have tried to reserve judgement about where the virus "originated" from, given the genetic sequencing and the different strains. Most people in the West seem to accept it as a foregone conclusion that they got the virus from China, although the one being spread rampantly is the "European" strain that is genetically distinct from the strain dominant in Wuhan. But until we have better evidence, I am disinclined to believe the CCP's version/theory about the virus verbatim. I hope the truth will come out eventually, after all the finger pointing, on both sides of the Pacific.
