[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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.  [/quote]

Covid is an airborne infection.  Wearing a mask and then removing it for meals is a false sense of security.  It’s one of the reasons we didn’t see population level protective effects for mask mandates.  Masks work - but they need to be worn, and when you can’t, you need to provide physical spacing, ESPECIALLY when confined indoors and sharing air space.[/quote]

This is exactly why if I had the newborn fresh out of NICU, I would say no thanks to your kid’s visit until my baby is older.  People say they are masking but then do stuff like this.  [/quote]

Yup- my nephew (and my sister/BIL) ended up with Covid last summer when he was 1 mo.  They have no idea where they got it as they actually hadn’t had any visitors yet! And they were mostly getting groceries delivered. They assume it was probably at the doctors office as they had been at the pediatrician a few days before (all masked except the newborn of course).  I’m surprised anyone with a NICU baby is allowing visitors. Plenty of time for visits when they aren’t so vulnerable (and not just to Covid).[/quote]
