[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I kept my eldest out of kindergarten. If you can't do it the whole winter, at least do it for 6 weeks when they are the most fragile.

I once walked out of a lab appointment because they wanted me to wait in a line in a hallway. Another time my MIL flew across the country and I would only meet her outdoors in the park in the freezing cold

Don't mess around with surgical masks. That was the biggest hoax of all during this covid business. Anything less than an n95 that totally seals to your face is theatre.

co-signed. This is crazy.

Btw I had RSV as an infant and was fine. And my DD had it as a <2yo (highest-risk period) and was also fine.

I think the following are reasonable precautions:

-ask people to wear masks when visiting brand-new newborn
-limit indoor visitors to grandparents only for the first 2 months (when hospital sick visits for newborn would require a spinal tap)
-limit contact with actively sick people
-"divide and conquer" with spouse if you have an older kid who is sick; don't isolate the kid, but keep them from touching the baby and have them use separate bathrooms, etc.

Just remember, [b]babies have been getting sick from their older siblings for millennia and usually it turns out fine[/b].[/quote]

That is absolutely not true. We absolutely did not get slammed with new flu strains every year from China from international air travel and have literal babies in grubby daycares getting so many cold one after the other you can't tell when one stops and the next starts "for millennia". That is absolutely not true. Sorry! We were evolved to live in groups of a couple dozen families. I would not be surprised at all if we find out in the future all these language delays and behavioral problems that are occurring more frequently nowadays are party due to endless virus exposure and very young ages.
