I just wanted to check if I'm right in my thinking, I think I am but sometimes need the other side of the situation. We went to a pantomime this evening, a later performance than we'd have liked but they were the only tickets available for a show we like to take the kids to every year (they very much enjoy it)
Anyway it got to the end and we were all filing out. There's a child, probably about 10 or 11. They're laying on the floor. They were laying in such a way I thought they'd slipped on something, the adults with him didn't seem overly concerned and very quickly a member of the audience asked if everything was OK. The lady with the group said something like " ah they've been sick all day and was in a deep sleep just now" the child was very clearly upset and crying. I was thinking they must have surely meant poorly, not actually sick as surely no-one would take a child to such a place if they potentially had a contagious illness, it turns out they did indeed mean the dreaded so I'm asking here if that's an OK thing to do? I won't go in to details as I understand people have certain phobias (it actually makes me extremely anxious) but I'm now here fretting we may have caught something as we were very close (didn't witness anything until the end). I didn't say anything, no, as instinctively I wanted to get out as fast as possible. I know it could be none of my business etc and could be another illness causing it and would never want to make someone's already difficult life more difficult, I just can't imagine dragging a poorly child out anywhere for many reasons. It goes without saying I genuinely hope the child is OK but please someone tell me we're not going to have a dreaded bug 🙏
