Even more so than it did when I was growing up. So you got a scratch or at least one kid had a broken bone sometime during the summer. That kid got all of the attention. It was all part of growing up.
A year?? Way back.. in May, they declared all the playgrounds off limits and we had zero cases of COVID-19.. A month ago they opened them all up as we have several hundred cases of COVID-19 in Edmonton. My question is.. who are these wizards that decide these things…
Our children (I have two) are developing significant issues from this as well – and it’s not physical. It’s all mental. Loss of education, increased anxiety, loss of socialization, and whole lot more.
Let the kids go. We will all survive and be better off.

No, it’s not completely safe, but the risk is acceptable.
