And echoing the PP - kids are sick ALL the time first three years. It sucks. It is a hassle but that’s just how it works. Just wait until you hit head lice!!!

The common cold is contagious whenever there is snot and sneezing. Nd you know that.

PS. Head lice doesn’t mimic the symptoms of covid.

Again, for those hard of hearing... ITS NOT ABOUT THE COLD. It’s about everything a parent and child have to go through because of covid.

Oh dear you are very wound up. Slow down. If you read you will see that I said most contagious - I didn’t say it wasn’t contagious at all at the end but that is the smallest risk. The greater risk is people who don’t even know they are sick so if you choose to be in a congregate setting that is a risk you take. If you can’t manage a child who is ill then keep them out of congregate settings. And as for the lice - oh are you in for a world of surprise about the impact on your life.

Will I think lice is covid?

Then if you go to a playground and there is a sick kid there, go home. Then you don’t have to go thought anything.

+1. This really is the simplest solution. OP, you keep your kids at home and the rest of us will move on.

Next topic?

You guys really can’t read. I didn’t notice that the kid was until it was too late! The mom KNEW the kid was sick and she stood right there looking at him as he entered the playhouse.

All you proponents of going to the playground with a sick kid - why hasn’t anyone answered why your sick kid won’t wear a mask and why can’t you just tell the kid to keep distance from people or at LEAST not entering small confined play structures with other kids, IF they must go to the playground?

They have answered, OP. They don’t care about your child or you or anyone else. Little Snotface doesn’t like wearing masks and likes the playhouse. If that not okay with you don’t go to the playground.

They actually haven’t answered. They just insist “my kid will go to the playground no matter what”. But that’s not even what most of this is about. There are ways to go to the playground and still be considerate.

I bet these people also blame the victim of rape or murder, “don’t go out since there there are murderers out there”. Wtf.

They have answered!! If they were the least bit considerate, they’d keep their child away from other children. These aren’t masking-type people. It’s “me,me,me”.

Interestingly, parents like that always have the worst kids too.

You’re becoming tiresome.

So are you. Selfish, stupid people are so pathetic.

This is so odd that a bunch of parents with kids in daycare think their kids are getting sick from the playground.

Try rereading slowly, dear, or have someone read aloud to you. You missed the point again.

NP. I agree that people shouldn’t bring their sick kids to playgrounds, but I hope you can let go of this, OP. You sound a little bit unhinged repeating yourself with all these all caps messages. If your kid is in school they are going to get sick, playground or not. I know it’s hard to deal with being out of school but it’s going to happen - probably a lot these coming months - and getting enraged at people at playgrounds is not going to help the situation.

And you really don’t know the health of every kid at the playground. Kids do have allergies, coughs that linger weeks after illness, snot from cold weather - you don’t know whether a kid is contagious. If it really upsets you, stay off the playgrounds. Plenty of other outdoor activities you can do without getting close to other kids.

I’m not keeping my child away from playgrounds for another year so you and your child can continue to go to work, daycare, playgrounds, whatever you want. Sorry. These runny noses can last for weeks and can often be caused by other things - crying, allergies, etc etc - and then when they end, another one comes a week later. You are the one going to work and putting your kid in daycare AND going to playgrounds - overall, you’re the one most exposing others to risk. Way more than me who stays home with a 2 year old and takes him to an outdoor playground for an hour a day. Why do you even need to go to the playground - your child is socializing and playing with other kids all day. I’m sure your daycare child has passed many germs to others before even realizing they were sick.

I’m glad you’re keeping your sick child away from other little kids. Thank you.

Taking a sick and contagious child to play in a public space among other healthy kids has always been - and will always be - low class and rude.

End of discussion.

+1. Kids are kind of messy and gross and you can’t really know who is sick (maybe not showing synpyims yet) or no longer contagious. Of course kids shouldn’t be on the playground when they are sick but, playground or not, kids will get sick.
