[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People should not attend thanksgiving dinner if they have a cold. It’s rude and selfish and arrogant. You’re assuming your presence at the dinner is worth everyone else being sick for days or weeks. But a lot of people are selfish, so if you go to a large dinner like that, there is a good chance there will be at least one jerk who thinks their company is worth exposing everyone to their cold or other illness. This is why it’s a good idea to push for outdoor gatherings. I would have masked indoors, made everyone in my household mask, stay outside as much as possible, and eat outside.[/quote] That relative could have masked. Your host could have taken steps with ventilation, requiring everyone to test before gathering, and encourage mask use. That cold could become something else--that is why we take precautions and we should have been doing them all along. Layered mitigation b/c nothing is perfect, but more layers the better. [/quote]
