[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]why can't my kids go door to door but most people are doing take out and the drive thru (I am too)?  If someone is sick, I hope they dont go to work and I hope they wouldn't answer the door.  In both cases, everyone is masked.  One is done outside and the other in a building.  One I am in front of someone for a few seconds and the other I could be in a store for 5-15 minutes.  The main difference is I can "quarantine" the candy but I will immediately eat the take out.

I don't really have an opinion about the trick or treating, but "If someone is sick, I hope they don't go to work and I hope they wouldn't answer the door?"

A.  Yes, people who work minimum or near-minimum wage jobs with no paid sick time go to work all the time not feeling great and convince themselves it's "just allergies" because they can't afford to lose a day's pay and p*ss of their boss, who may retaliate via future scheduling if they dare to call out (common in these types of jobs)
 
B.  More importantly, how is it that people still don't understand that up to 40% of transmisisons are PRE-symptomatic -- people who are positive, but don't have symptoms yet and have no reason to think they are "sick."  Masks are important, but they are far from foolproof.[/quote]
