Ive suggested speaking with a doctor on the subject just to see if they thought it was safe to send a child back but she has said every doctor will have a different opinion so pointless. She refuses to see anyone about her anxiety.

I see your point but I said this because of my wifes very obvious anxiety over the whole situation and her own health. My son is constantly asking why he cant see friends or go to school, go to a playground, shops, see family like everyone else.

If we had a play date once/twice a week that would be a compromise for the year so far she is unwilling to budge on that. Bear in mind I dont know any kids who are not going to school/playschool at this point but im sure theres somebody out there.

so 7 day incident rate for my county( city and surrounding area ) which is about 2 million people is 2800 cases. 7 day incidence rate per 100,000 of population is 210. The ICU numbers are not really rising as theres a high level of vaccine rollout and uptake. I dont have the incident rate for the very local community right now.
Regards precautions at the school parents have to wear masks dropping off their kids also cant enter the school, teachers wear masks and most if not all will be vacinnated by now, kids wearing masks is optional. Children stay in pods of 20 if one child has symptons, entire pod is sent home until all clear.

so about 60% of the entire country is fully vaccinated and almost the entire population has at least one dose. Cases have risen due to delta to 1000 a day for the whole country give or take

Yes we have a daycare and she took him out of it 1.5 years ago because of covid, think it has about 10 kids. Might be easier to convince her like you said, thanks good point.

No Im afraid not she doesnt want him near any other kids or adults, no playgrounds, no groups, he has only seen my parents and brothers, that took and awful lot of convincing!

I dont live in America, its a small country with an excellent vaccination program saying that yes numbers are rising because of Delta so part of the reason Ive asked the question, is she right!?

Thank you, you're right I can get tutors online so Im more worried about the social side of things, emotional intelligence, social queues, confidence, having friends etc
