However, you mentioned a playdate in an earlier post. I would be SUPER annoyed if someone scheduled or came to a playdate with a runny nose. Playdates are closer contact by nature (sharing toys, etc.), and other families don't want your cold for the pleasure of playing with your child for two hours (b/c then that family has to go through the whole ordeal of testing, etc.). Same with the birthday party -- please don't attend with a cold, and please don't call the organizer and ask them to make the decision. Just bow out politely--nobody will care, and everyone will be thankful.
Op here. I haven’t done any play dates. I did send her to school with a mask today.
Her cough lasted about 30 min. I should have just sent her to school yesterday.
