Keeping them at home, apart from each other and in fear of catching a disease is not good.
In reference to the above Can we all be favor of nobody getting the disease? - sounds good but it is unrealistic and unachievable. From my perspective here in NJ breakthrough cases are by and large very mild if symptomatic at all and largely manageable with over the counter meds and home care so the more people who just go get vax'd up the better so we can minimize the severe cases, to me that's the real goal; spread is going to happen, minimize severe illness.
