[quote=Anonymous]Social distancing is still encouraged even as restrictions are lifted. Hospitals aren't overwhelmed, and if they start getting close I assume restrictions will return. Deciding whether to allow playdates really depends on your individual risk tolerance. Yes, it is more risky the more people your family unit is exposed to. But there is also a huge tradeoff for that. We let our kids play with one neighbor family, and they are SO much happier. Given that a low percentage of people in my area are estimated to have COVID currently (0.5%), kids are less likely to become infected, less likely to spread the virus, and less likely to become very sick or die, that all adds up to low risk. Is the risk zero? No. But we are personally willing to take those chances, as are our neighbors. We still socially distance at stores, wear masks, etc. And my husband is a physician but he does not treat COVID patients and 95% of his appointments are over the phone now. [/quote]
