[quote=Anonymous]OP, if your son has been in daycare previously, is there not an option for you to have some degree of respite care? If he needs therapies, your practitioners should be able to go to wherever he is in order to provide those.

Thing is, masks are helpful in the context of low risk people. Your son is seeing multiple high risk people due to his therapies, and then you are taking him with no mask into the community. This doesn’t really serve the activity of prevention at large.

Call your bank *gasp* and communicate with them. Yes, you need to go, and possibly with your unmasked son who has been exposed,unmasked, to several health care workers in the previous time period. See if there are options for your services. Before hours, after hours - many banks offer “other” services by appointment only that will afford you service without being part of the fray. But to get them, you need to communicate.

Also, I get your challenges with your son, but masks aren’t going away any time soon. Of errands are a “must have” for you, you need to adjust that mask wearing is part of his ADLs with priority. Your team may be working on it, but if they don’t know how critical it is, it may not be a priority in the degree it needs to be for you to be able to live your life as you need to. It may be a higher reward behaviour you need to work towards, and give a .title on something else.m[/quote]
