[quote=Anonymous]My 17 year old daughter has a boyfriend. They used to spend time together in masks outdoors only but once it got cold they asked us to think about letting them hang out together without the distance requirement. So we discussed with the other parents and decided that since we are all otherwise isolating ourselves, we were willing to let the kids drop the masks and hang out together in each other's homes. I guess that makes us a pod, although we don't socialize with each other's families other than through our daughter/their son? (We recognize that we're each effectively exposing ourselves to each other's whole household risk nonetheless). Honestly, it just makes the teens' lives so much better to allow this, that we're willing to live with the additional risk. We did agree that we'd all communicate about new risk factors that arise and occasionally halt contact when a potential second party exposure has occurred. I'd be interested to hear if people think we're crazy for doing this.[/quote]
