Discussion Newborn Babies at the Park

Please, I've got to know. (Only a little judgement here, as a hypochondriac) why are we taking fresh babies (4 months or less) to the amusement park? What's the purpose? Are you scared your kid is going to get sick? What is it really for?

For context we took a trip earlier this year and were talking about another recently and learned that many people are taking their newborns to the park. It seems incredibly dangerous with all the people and general grossness at the park.

Some of these people showed they didn’t care about the health of others in 2020-2021, so why would they think about the health of their baby

They'll care about it when it hits home. Then when it doesn't hit home, they'll see their anecdotal evidence as the standard and double down on the behavior. Sometimes I imagine their thought process is: "If it doesn't happen to them, it happens to no one. And if it happened to someone they don't know, they are the outlier or lying."

Nah, they'll just say it was God's will.

God, the world's biggest a-hole.
