[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]No activity is risk free. It’s about risk vs benefit. Keeping restaurants open is vital for the economy. Celebrating Halloween in a traditional manner is not.[/b] It’s just one day, and finding a socially distant way to celebrate isn’t a huge deal. I think encouraging people not to trick or treat as usual will cut down on before and after parties, and generally help folks remember that these are not normal times. It is very hard to control mask wearing and distancing just out on the street as opposed to in a park or store. The last thing you want to do before flu season starts is seed more chains of infection for no good reason.[/quote]
This. We’re all going to be exposed to some risk, but if we cut out unnecessary risks, transmission rates will be lower. I need groceries, but I don’t need to obtain candy from 20 different households. My kids can go for a walk (masked) in their costumes during the day on Halloween and I’m sure they’ll get compliments from neighbors. I can buy their favorite candies and create a candy scavenger hunt at home. We can have fun while limiting contacts with others. I’m not buying candy for trick or treaters, so don’t waste your time coming to my house.[/quote]
