I have followed this thread from the beginning and agonized a bit over what to do about Thanksgiving. D & SIL are a 2 hour drive from me and I was invited to their house. They are both WFH and compliant with social distancing. The only risk from them was GD going to daycare. We all limited out contacts the two weeks before Thanksgiving, as in only grocery pickup or drive through food with masks worn by both parties. SIL got tested just as a precaution. GD’s daycare shut down last Monday for a positive case connected with another room, but she had no exposure. Still, as a precaution, I wore a mask while in their house except for eating. I ate about 12 feet from them at far end of kitchen island from their table. Otherwise, only took the mask off for sleeping and when we were 6+ feet away on their deck (great weather on Thursday & Friday).
We played a Thanksgiving trivia game on Zoom Friday night with S & DIL, who live in FL. After we had been on for 90 minutes, I wished them all a good night and headed to bed. I crawled into bed hearing the 4 “kids” talking and laughing, almost as if all together at my house. It made me both happy & sad at the same time. I saw lots of friends spending time together on FB with masks on. I hope all our precautions worked. I also have a new respect for people who wear a mask all day long. My previous experiences with a mask on have been limited to 90 minutes or less and I now know how spoiled I have been.
