[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another thread full of ignorant and unnecessarily hostile posts by people who don't frickin' read.

This is about avoiding contact with VULNERABLE loved ones right after the kinds of large gatherings you have at the holidays.  This was common sense before the pandemic and is common sense now.  Covid just adds another virus to the mix of things (Flu, RSV etc) we don't want to give to our vulnerable relatives.

So many posters on here going on about scared people, but -you- are the f'd up ones.  All ready to jump up in everyone's face about mah freedom before you actually know what is being discussed.  No one is making your precious pre-schoolers wear masks or telling you you can't go to work.

Good Lord.  Seek therapy.[/quote]

And as long as you don't know the people in the hotel, it's fine dumping your COVID positive loved one there.[/quote]

Good lord, they did not share a hotel room with anyone.   They stayed in their room with windows open and hepa filter running on high.  They masked when they exited the room to get outside and get fresh air.   Everyone in that hotel was 99% more likely actually exposed to someone ill who wasn't masking but was contagious.   By time they left hotel, they were not contagious so the air was totally cleaned.  Risk to anyone would be minimal at that point as cleaners use gloves.

You are supposed to notify the hotel if you test positive for covid while you're staying there. They all have protocols to follow for airing out the room and cleaning after you leave. And they also have plans in place to deliver food and care items to you so you don't have to exit the room and expose others. [/quote]

DP: No protocols anymore for "notifying the hotels".  That might have been 2020 and 2021, but certainly not 2023.

2nd: exiting the room with a KN95/N95 mask to go outside is not "exposing others".  the PP did not say the kid went to the restaurant to have dinner.  If you choose to go into a public place without a mask, you have to assume you will encounter at least one (if not several ) people who have covid currently (or RSV/Flu/other illnesses). That kid wearing a quality mask is the least of your concerns [/quote]

My mom tested positive at a hotel 6 weeks ago and let the front desk know. They said they really appreciated the heads up and would follow a different process for cleaning after she left. And they also offered to do no contact door delivery for medication and food. You are absolutely supposed to notify them[/quote]
