[quote=Anonymous]My kids are a bit younger. However, their experience since March has been as follows:

- No indoor places (stores - grocery or otherwise, kids' play spaces, restaurants, etc.)
- Avoidance of crowded outdoor spaces (i.e., beach drive on the weekend)
- Masks whenever in an outdoor public space, like hiking trails. The only time masks are not worn outdoors is if we are walking in suburbia and can cross the street when others approach or if we are in a deserted area of a state park.
- Visits to their friends a few times: wearing masks, we'll stop by to chat for while from about 20 feet away, staying outside on the street or driveway.
- Daily outdoor activities: a lot of hiking, swimming, bike riding, exploring state parks, tent/backpack or car camping, etc.

I am not high risk. My parents, who are high risk, do not see us or the kids to limit their exposure despite the precautions above. I take the precautions above because I don't want to get sick, or have my kids get sick, and inadvertently kill someone else I exposed in the grocery store or elsewhere because I was irresponsible and selfish. I don't have anxiety about it, I am not a hand-wringer, this is just common sense.[/quote]
