Funeral on Friday and 12 year old son running fever, Now what?

[Anonymous]

Son fever is 101 and he’s stuffed up nose. Daughters had runny noses and now they have stuffed up noses
All Tested negative last night
I will retest again later today.
My grandma funeral is Friday 4 hours away out of state. Do I just go to funeral in a mask and have my husband here with them? Here I have been up with them if they do test positive…my daughters and I had covid last month. this is not good.

It’s probably a cold. Our kids have it too. Not covid. You should leave them home and then ho but wear a mask.

If it is covid, you probably shouldn’t go either

Get PCR tests. My family did not show positives are rapids for 4 days and then PCR positive.

Either you go alone or, if you want the family there, get PCR tests.

The event will be inside with close socialization. I’m not a crazy tester and haven’t been wearing masks in ages, but these circumstances would make me test for the sake of others.

Elderly gatherings require more caution. I would wear a N95 and stay outside as much as possible. COVID or not, the rules have changed around being sick and in public. I would not take anyone with any symptoms of illness to an indoor funeral for an elderly woman. I’m sorry, it’s a big pain but the consequences are not worth the risk.

Regardless of she going alone or with family, she or they should get PCR tests.

Do not bring them, even if it’s only a cold, unless they are better. Other elderly people do not need your cold. My mother ended up getting sick and it turned into pneumonia after a funeral. This was before covid. Get a pcr for yourself and go alone unless they are fever and symptom free.

I am sorry for your loss and I hope your family recovers soon.

Family member went to a funeral with a cold and two negative PCR tests. No masking. My 82-year-old grandma got COVID. It was mild thanks to boosters, but not a situation you want to be in. I would have hte sick kid skip it and wear a mask yourself

With that much sickness around, I would stay home out of respect for my extended family.

Given that you have recently recovered, I would attend wearing a mask. Of course, the sick kids stay home as you should for any illness.

She shouldn’t get a PCR for 90 days. It’s a different story for the relatives who haven’t recently tested positive.

She was exposed to covid from other family members attending the funeral though.

Stay home. Send flowers and condolences. Don't be the cause of more funerals and you'll feel better about it.

Sorry for your loss.

I would get him screened for flu as well if you would be willing to take tamiflu.
