[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Went to my parents for thanksgiving. My siblings and I all live relatively nearby but decided to stay over for a few nights to have everyone under one roof. My siblings spouse showed up sick saying they had a cold (they had covid recently and tested negative so it was confirmed not that.) two days later, my kids are now getting sick and my spouse and I are debating what the line should be. We agree it was obnoxious for this person to show underplaying how sick they were but on the other hand, [b]1. should someone sick with a cold (but functioning) miss thanksgiving for a cold?[/b] Obviously stay home if your very sick, or have covid, flu, rsv etc. - [b]2.but should it also be expected that we would be exposed to colds at a big holiday?[/b] Pandemic has really exacerbated the issue.

Relative also could have not slept over and just come for the meal. [/quote]
1. No
2. Yes, especially during cold and flu season.

Based on your attitude, you had better ensure that at the start of any sniffle your kids have from now on results in a full quarantine for at least 3 weeks until the last cough is gone. So no school, no restaurants, no family, no friends, nothing. [/quote]
