[quote=Anonymous]The responses here are so odd. OP—my children and all my friends’ children have gone through the same, and we’ve gone through the same thoughts. At times it was unbelievable the number of illnesses we’d get, and no amount of hand sanitizer helped (I was so careful and yet we got all the viruses). We finally seem to be better now with the kids at 5 yo and 2 yo, and after about 2 years of nonstop illness.

However, every time we needed a break from the illness for various reasons (newborn, upcoming trip, etc) what worked the best was limiting indoor activities. Nothing else seemed to make a dent. Not masking, not hygiene. So we don’t take the kids to the library or any of those indoor playgrounds still. We assume an indoor party means a guaranteed virus &gt;&gt; ear infection.

Based on speaking to my relatives from there does seem to be something about the number of people we interact with in a big city that leads to more illness.

I don’t think masking kids is helpful or the way I want them to interact with others unless for very specific circumstances (such as doctor waiting room if they are sick, etc.).
