[quote=Anonymous]Wow, I hope my relatives are a bit more compassionate that some in this thread! Often someone is sick during most family events during the holidays.  If they have mild symptoms, I would not expect them to pause.  Of course if someone has a fever, strep, or flu symptoms they are generally isolating.  Family get-togethers need to happen and why sit on the sidelines for a cold?

We sat out Thanksgiving this year because one of the kids fell ill on Wednesday and slept the entire day!  He felt fine on Thursday, but clearing something more significant was brewing and we didn't want to expose our 90 y/o MIL or pregnant cousin.  If someone just had a case of the sniffles, we would have probably tested since it was going to be a big gathering, but otherwise I don't think we would have hesitated.   We all have to figure out how to move on, even with Covid, RSV, and Flu still out there!  These issues generally aren't black and white, but assume that people are trying their best![/quote]
