[quote=Anonymous]We did this in September when my 1.5 yo got COVID at daycare. He couldn't mask and we obviously couldn't isolate him. We have a townhouse with a finished basement, so my 4 year old basically lived in the basement with one parent. The sick 1.5 yo lived on the "main" floor with the other parent. Both (vaccinated) parents interacted with each other and both kids, but the kids stayed apart. Eventually both parents got COVID and we ended up masking everyone but the toddler. Lots of air purifiers. At outside for all meals. Every day was basically a juggling act of "who is the least sick/symptomatic one that can take care of the still-negative kid?" The 4 year old never tested positive. The 1.5 yo's illness was very mild, mostly a runny nose. The adults were both pretty ill, though still "mild" in COVID terms. This was all with delta and before boosters were available for the adults. But attempting to keep our family safe was a mess. I don't think I could have forgiven myself though if we hadn't done everything we could to protect my 4 yo and then he got seriously sick.[/quote]
