My poor son :'(

He's too young for vaccine yet and already lost two days of baseball camp (he'd been looking forward to all summer) to wildfire smoke. Just had his first day yesterday, then this morning we get the notice from his daycare: another child in his group tested positive for SARS-CoV-2. Now he has 14 days of quarantine, and he has to miss the rest. The reason he was at daycare? Mental health: he only got in-person classes for the last 5 weeks of the school year (and only 2 days per week at that) and on psychological ​advice we wanted to get him into physical proximity with other kids through the summer. The kids do wear masks indoors, and it seems to me that the daycare takes all available precautions, but we're losers in the numbers game now.

I'm feeling awful, vasillating between blaming myself for not keeping him home and rage at being so unable to help my child. (My wife and I both vaccinated at the earliest opportunity.) I am in tears for the danger he's in now and the isolation he'll feel over the next two weeks, danger that exists mainly because my wife and I were trying to address other danger we couldn't prevent.
