That was your own fault. You can't expect businesses to exercise cause common sense in these situations. You weren't suppose to report a fever in that situation. They didn't want to know. But once you told them, of course their hands were tied.

No, our daycare takes everyone’s temperature through the car window when you pull up for drop off.

Wow. That makes more sense now, but that's pretty crazy. You must have had quite the fever to set off a non-contact thermometer. No spouse or grandparent that could have done the drop off?

Grandparents? You are really stretching to blame this on PP!

No, I didn't mean it that way. But I bet the pp felt and probably looked terrible with that high of a fever.

In my experience day cares are looking to send kids home right now because they are short on teachers. My child swallowed milk at lunch wrong and had a coughing fit and got sent home for exclusionary symptoms. Our daycare requires two negative tests three days apart to return. My child is 5 so when he said he chocked on his milk, I seem to believe him. He didn’t cough again the next 7 days he was home.

102. DH is deployed and I work from home. No grandparents in the area.

Yes, I felt horrible. It would have been great if DD could have gone to daycare that day to let me rest.

OP here. Really appreciate everyone's experiences. We'll call them and find out what we need to do

No. I'm one of the PPs from NoVa. This is our daycare's policy for all children. I have a 5yo and an 11mo. They've been back at daycare since late summer.

Same here, except I'm in MD. A runny nose won't get anyone sent home unless there's another symptom with it.

Here's Maryland's screening criteria:
"For the purposes of this guidance, COVID-19-LIKE ILLNESS is defined as: Any one of the following: cough, shortness of breath, difficulty breathing, new loss of taste or smell OR At least 2 of the following: fever of 100.4o or higher (measured or subjective), chills or shaking chills, muscle aches, sore throat, headache, nausea or vomiting, diarrhea, fatigue, and congestion or runny nose."

Sure. And we're everywhere. Better go back in your basement.

This looks similar to the guidance our NoVA daycare center uses, as well.

You know, this isn't funny. My friend just spent 2 months in the hospital because she beat cancer a year ago, then caught COVID from someone who felt sick but came to work anyway and gave it to her. She could have died. Avoiding temperature checks and not staying home when you're sick 100% kills people.

My kid has a runny nose. We got tested today because we can't send him back to daycare without a negative COVID test result. Hopefully it only takes a few days!
