Well still no sign here apart from the three spots on Davies’ back which have come to nothing so I assume were not pox related. I know we are officially still ‘at risk’ for another ten days and I still wouldn’t go to someone’s house without prior warning or near pregnant ladies, small babies or otherwise poorly people but we have planned two activities on Friday which I have already paid for and the kids will be sad to miss – one is a music and movement class for 2-5 yos, the second is Tumble Tots for Davies in the afternoon. Both of them will be full of children who either attend nursery or preschool and will mix with other children daily. Not sure whether that makes me all the more irresponsible or whether that makes it ok as it is prime CP time of year anyway. We could be singlehandedly kicking off the Sussex 2005 epidemic or we could just be adding to the mix, or of course we could be hiding ourselves away for no reason at all and not get the bloody thing anyway.
Oh poo! Any opinions? Happy to hear what I don’t really want to as well…
Well otoh I am totally happy to be quarantined LOL Since we have mountains of snow here and I don’t really want to drive anywhere – got enough shopping yesterday to be holed up for at least 2 weeks LOL It’s a difficult situation though isn’t it. I have managed to wangle an invite to K’s this week as her husband had cp two weeks ago and everyone else has had it so safe there for an afternoon. xx

My feeling is that ‘public’ places – which would definitely include Tumble Tots and the like – are fair game. Children don’t get quarantined from school or nursery just for being in contact with it. We’ve been swimming twice this week and to the library, and so on, but I’m still not going to group tomorrow.
So yeah, do your things on Friday 🙂

Agree completely with Alison. B is still going to nursery so it would seem a bit absurd to then quarantine him (or the others) from soft play. Private homes are different though – but you can always ask ahead and find out people’s feelings.
