Would you cancel a party for a runny nose?

[Anonymous]

Did you do a rapid or a PCR? I think that makes a difference.

DS1 had a runny nose for 3 days this week and then it just disappeared. He also tested negative. I know several neighbors also have it. I would test her again and disclose to your guests.

No

Warn all the inviters or you’re going to be hated.

Don’t go to parties if you can’t afford to catch a cold. Not being snarky but that’s just how it is. My kids got the baby sick all the time pre covid - I get it.

This. Any person attending a party could have a cold. If you're that worried, you should really stay home.

Just share facts and let parents decide.

PCR or antigen?

Please share. Even if it isn’t covid, I don’t want your kid’s cold.

This. I can’t afford to miss 2 weeks of childcare for a runny nose, so I don’t want to come to a party with a child with a cold, even though it’s just a cold.

In what situation would you have to miss 2 weeks of school for a runny nose?

My child attends an annoying strict school and even our school has adjusted guidelines. You only have to miss 2 weeks if your child actually has Covid.

And if your kid goes to school, s/he can get a runny nose at anytime.

JFC. Kids get colds. At least normal kids who are let out of their houses. You just need to stay home snowflake

You simply can’t expect everyone to disclose every single cold that they acquire. Only go to parties if you can assume the risk - and frankly only leave your house if you can. Colds are everywhere and runny noses are a part of life.

No! Jesus, it’s so fricking easy to warn your guests and is the polite thing to do.

Total nonsense and really bad manners! Even pre-covid, guests should be alerted if the host has a contagious illness!

WTF! It takes two minutes to write a group text.

Not for a runny nose or cold. Unrealistic and not standard practice, nor will it ever be.
