[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What do expect people to do?
- Is it just about getting people to get a booster?
- wear a mask indefinitely (in which settings? A full day at school/work? Just the grocery store?)
- avoid any "optional" indoor social activities?
- Pull children out from in-person school/daycare?[/quote]

1. Yes. Get your boosters.

2. Yes, wear a mask indoors in any setting that you know you will be encountering random people. It would be really nice of others to wear them in non-optional settings, like grocery stores, hospitals, doctors offices, and pharmacies, you know, where people with health issues have to go too. The masks are as much for your protection as to protect others.  Not "indefinitely" only when cases are up, or during winter. In health care settings, yes, indefinitely.

3. Yes, avoid any "optional" indoor social activities, if you plan to be around older people or people with health issues. Otherwise, knock yourself out catching whatever is out there.

4. No, most kids are in daycare because they have to be. [/quote]

So any child with elderly grandparents should avoid all "optional" indoor activities in the winter? That means weekends spent in windy cold weather or at home. I don't think you realize how extreme that is for families with young children. My parents who are very COVID cautious would never ask that of us.[/quote]

Most people who live here (DC metro) are transplants who have parents and grandparents who live elsewhere, so yes...a week or so before visiting the grandparents, it would be advisable to stop all indoor maskless optional activities. They usually don't see their grandparents "all winter."

If the grandparents are local, then it's up to all of you to figure out how to handle the risk involved. Some grandparents don't care, so that's up to them. You do you. [/quote]

Thanks for sharing. My family and many others do have grandparents who live in the area. We see.them every week.[/quote]
