[quote=Anonymous]Age is not the problem, Omicron is. I would not go to a funeral right now, at the peak of the Omicron surge. Many years ago, we flew to Europe and Asia with our then toddler for my grandmother's, then grandfather's funerals, back-to-back. The timing and opposite jet lags made it exhausting, but since there was no pandemic at the time, we felt it was our duty. Children at funerals are valuable comfort for the grieving family members. Our relatives' faces lit up when they saw my son. He was not in the least perturbed by any of it, including the Japanese ritual of passing the deceased's bones from person to person to put in the urn. Since then we've had several more funerals, and I've always noticed that people are cheered by the presence of children. But right now, please don't go. It's not responsible for any of us to contribute to viral spread. [/quote]
