[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For everyone saying, kids don't get covid outdoors or on the playground...the one time I took my masked kid to a playground in the fall he got a cold, which he gave to the rest of the family.

At the time, we were working at home, doing virtual schooling,  and hadn't been inside a store or visited with anyone for a few weeks. 95% of the kids on the playground were masked.

So you absolutely CAN get something on a playground if you are there for a while with other kids around. The chances are not high, but they exist.[/quote]

:roll:

This is meaningless.

Most common colds are caused by rhinoviruses.  They are much more primitive than coronaviruses, and thus linger on surfaces much longer and are harder to kill with hand sanitizer, etc.  Especially if your kid is a little one, he probably got a cold from touching surfaces at the playground and then touching his nose, mouth, etc. before getting the chance to wash hands.

Just wait until they find out about norovirus.[/quote]
