[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Last week our pediatrician told us we were being too conservative by not having our 8 year old socialize with other kids in person. So we invited a friend over this week to play outside in the yard, and hope to make that a regular thing. We're realizing this is going to be a long haul so adjusting our family's choices accordingly.[/quote]

You are doing the right thing. Benefits will far outweigh any covid risks to your child. [/quote]

PP here, I do think it's about balance. We don't plan to eat at a restaurant inside or attend a large event anytime soon. But last weekend we saw my close friend and her new baby outside at a distance, and it was wonderful. I think we were like, "we've made it this far, let's keep going," but that's not really sustainable. Plus DC does have low numbers. Obviously if things change we will readjust, but I'm trying to look at covid as a marathon now instead of a sprint and make safe choices for everyone based on the specific situation.[/quote]
