COVID and pot luck

[Anonymous]

Negative close contacts do NOT need to stay home.

I’m a teacher and I would bring my food and enjoy the potluck. FWIW my husband had Covid and no one else tested positive. Everyone at your school has likely been exposed to Covid several times already. The cautious people will likely skip the potluck anyway.

True but they shouldn’t be participating in a potluck. Maybe bring something yes, but don’t stick your germ hands all over the food.

I think the food is fine but out of an abundance of caution, I would probably bring prepackaged food.

Of course you should still go to work and mask consistently and appropriately as a close contact who tests negative.

The “stay at home” crowd is never going to let up. Ignore them. These are people with zero responsibilities to colleagues, family members, or students. Or if they do have these responsibilities, they have convinced themselves they are doing the right thing by bailing constantly while the rest of the world picks up their slack.

Y'all, COVID isn't transmitted via crock pot. We know this by now. OP should just bring her food and enjoy the potluck unless she tests positive.

If someone is wearing a good mask and washes their hands before getting food, they are not going to get you sick through their COVID Hands.

The ignorance, two years in, is astounding.

Agree and I am a responder who said previously it’s fine but still bring prepackaged food. Because if some of these nutter types find out her kid has covid and she dared to bring in food she made, it will be a thing. The type of people who think this stuff are irrational.

This is fine. But I would also skip bringing food. Even store bought, just skip it. No one wants store bought cookies that badly. They understand

Yep! Business as usual!

Nobody is getting Covid from food. You people just do not follow science do you?

There is a good chance OP has been exposed and it can turn into covid. You are the most infectious when you don't know or don't care and in the early stages. OP is talking about being in a school and eating food without a mask. Maybe if people were more cautious we'd have it under control. The rest of the world is picking up the slack from people like you who refuse precautions by either having to stay home or getting sick from someone like you too selfish to care. Doing the right thing is staying home with a close contact, which is a family member.

This is why covid is raging! People like this!

OP: STAY HOME. DO NOT bring any food at all. Also no, just no to work pot lucks, those are for people who have no real friends in life.

They will get you sick by being unmasked and eating.

Do this. You are fine to go to work and bring homemade food-the science says so. But with the COVID witch hunters just bring something prepackaged.
