[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You’re right that one kid and their parents going door to door, wearing a mask and interacting very briefly with masked homeowners, isn’t terribly risky.

But think about what Trick or Treat usually looks like in neighborhoods with lots of kids and easy access to houses: multiple groups of kids and adults, crowding on doorsteps and sidewalks, hanging out chatting on porches and in yards, in many places sharing beverages and treats for parents as well. That’s the kind of thing that could easily become a superspreader event within a neighborhood, especially if adults are unmasked to eat and drink. Or if kids want to eat that favorite candy bar, so they take their mask off, and maybe share it with a buddy while mom and dad aren’t looking.

In other words, the official guidance isn’t about individual risk, it’s about public health. [/quote]

Yes if they're unmasked.  [b]But the protests proved that it was safe for mass gatherings as long as we are masked and outside[/b].  This isn't different, except it's kids.  [/quote]

The protests proved that lots of people got lucky that COVID was never directly attributed to those protests. Driving drunk and getting home safely multiple times doesn't mean driving drunk is safe. It means you got lucky.[/quote]

You're comparing millions of people protesting all around the world to "driving drunk multiple times"?  Seriously?  [/quote]
