Sports day and chicken pox

[BobbinsBoo1]

Is it unreasonable to take a child to a primary school sports day knowing they have chicken pox?
The child isn't part of the school so is there just as a spectator.

Yes

What point are they at with CP?

To be honest I just wouldn't chance it.

If they are still at the contagious stage you cannot take them. It's really frustrating not being able to go out when DCs have chicken pox but you have to keep them away from people.

It's not me and my child. There is a Facebook group for my child's school. And a mother on there has asked about what time sports day it and written that she is being her infectious child (her words) and a laughing face.
Another parent has questioned whether it's a bad idea to bring a child at the contagious stage.
I was reading it thinking I think it's wrong and really selfish to bring a child who you know is contagious to sports day where there will be pregnant women, young babies and other people who might be at risk. But wasn't sure what other people would think

Very bad idea.

OK, it's outdoors and so could be worse. But primary school events still have a fair few pregnant women and brand new baby siblings. Plus of course the immune compromised could be anywhere.

Yes, it's a bit shit to miss an event (if it's early primary days, the parents might even still be enjoying them rather than just turning up to please their Dad). But that's what happens sometimes, unfortunately.

Yes, I think that’s pretty U of her.

That should say 'she is bringing her infectious child' not being

I'd have to send her a link to the nhs website about the dangers for people with suppressed immune systems and pregnant women. Posting laughing emojis about it is horrific and shows what a fucking idiot she is. It can kill people and cause stillbirth or fetal varicella syndrome.

I'd have to say something, it's utterly selfish.

At every nursery I have Worked in we have accepted children when the last spot has scabbed over. As that is when they are not infectious anymore.
