[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Chances are the spread of whatever is going around (COVID or a cold) happened at school when they were indoors close to each other, but there is a chance it happened at the party. There's no real way to know.

There's nothing you can do now, but I agree with the PP who said to remind parents not to send kids with any symptoms and to have masks at your party that you give to the kids if they don't have one.

I find it not surprising that kids might not be totally mask-compliant even if they have them because I am seeing adults be that way all the time. I was just at a work event where masks were required, and guess what? Many people had them off for long periods, and no one was enforcing it. So frustrating. It's hard for those of us who want to take fewer risks to judge what we can and cannot do if activities that are supposed to be masked end up not being. I would be more comfortable if we were just told ahead of time that masks weren't going to be "required" because then I could make an informed decision ahead of time.

The thing I don't really understand is why people are so nonchalant about the spread of colds. If colds are going around, that means that there is spread of viruses, and that means that whatever safety measures you think you are taking, they are not working. Maybe your kid only ended up with a cold as a result, but if you are trying to avoid getting COVID, it's clear that whatever you're doing is not going to prevent it if a cold is going around.[/quote]

Not necessarily.  Viruses spread in different ways.  There are cold viruses that are spread by surfaces more than COVID is, for example.  [/quote]
