[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - thanks for the different perspectives. We test weekly before we see Grandparent and nephew. DD is very diligent with masking and does not need reminders and does not do the "hanging off face" thing. She really wears it. So no need for the host to have to worry about it. She masks every day around these kids so I don't think anyone will be surprised to see her masked. [b]She does eat at the normal lunch table but then remasks.[/b] It is not a perfect system but better. I think she can do the same at cake time. To the pp who asked about illness, yes she gets sick a lot less than ever before and other kids in her class. We are also diligent about hand washing. Thanks for reassuring me that her wearing a mask will not bother the host. [/quote] If you aren’t physically separating your child during meal time, then this is useless. Sorry but it really is.[/quote] Useless? No way. Less useful, sure, but unmasked life for 30 mins will expose a kid to less than unmasked all day. Despite covid and other viruses being talked about as highly contagious, in some ways you really do have to be in the wrong place at the wrong time under the wrong conditions. Masking reduces the instances where one might catch it. Do you think everyone ONLY catches it at lunch? Regardless, op, my kids don't mask at school anymore but some kids do. I still wear a mask in many indoor settings. It's irrational in my case bc I tend to pull mine up in the grocery store but not in the office, for example. But I would not give a second thought to a kid in my house wearing a mask. To the ppl who would, do you need to know other choices ppl are making any what's on their body before welcoming them into your homes? [/quote]
