OP here.

So people on the GP board about a kid with the flu are all: "Cancel your Super Bowl party! I would not go! Don't let DH go - you all stay home!"

But this is a FFS, yes?

Because...?

I think it's irresponsible to bring busloads of kids from a different community to a place where there are likely connections and where there are confirmed cases in the area. Better safe, than sorry, IMO. Why am I so off base? [/quote]

Because a Super Bowl Party does not equal something like an band competition out of town (which is presumably something pretty special and out of the ordinary for a kid)

and being in a small confined area, like a house, with someone who is known to be sick does not equal being in a large, maybe open air area with people that have a very small chance of being sick.

It's not that hard to see the difference, is it?[/quote]

OP here.

I agree about the difference between small, enclosed v. large, open spaces. But I still think that these kids have the opportunity to be in enclosed spaces (the hotel, restaurants, etc.) and potentially exposed while they are there - as well potential exposure from the surfaces they will be touching.

I get that this is a special event, but, like one pp suggested - why take the risk?

Is the very small chance really worth the risk? [/quote]
