[quote=Anonymous]So many reckless, short-sighted people on this thread. So much talk about “pre-COVID” and “post-COVID.” COVID IS STILL WITH US. I had it three weeks ago. A friend had it this week. I understand if you’re a healthy vaccinated adult and don’t want to take any further precautions as a personal matter, but for unvaccinated newborns, literally nothing has changed as far as COVID goes. The accute phase of COVID could land that baby in the NICU, not to mention the unknown long-term harms that could result from having a serious infection like that in the first days of life (read up on increased risk of asthma, diabetes, neurodevelopmental issues, heart/kidney/liver issues in pediatric populations). That’s not even taking into account flu, RSV, + a zillion other viruses MIL could pick up in travel. All you folks talking about how the hospital will be more dangerous - doctors and nurses still mask. They are vaccinated. And OP has no choice but to be in the hospital. This is one vector she can control, very easily. You would seriously rather put your defenseless newborn baby at risk than potentially offend your grown-ass MIL? For what reason exactly? To feed your delusion that COVID is over? Bizarre behavior frankly.[/quote]
