daycare shutting down our class for 10 days due to COVID

I avoid it at all costs because of these policies, but sometimes there are forcing functions. e.g. I had a work event that required PCR tests; daycare requires PCR test (!) to return after ANY illness, and a hacking cough or obvious fever is hard to hide even medicated.

So, if not for those reasons, you would avoid testing in an effort to hide a COVID case and spread it to others at your child’s daycare?

You reap what you sow with ridiculous policies. Sorry not sorry.

Yep, terrible policies lead people to lying/deception/avoidance. These policies are so out of touch with working families' reality that obviously many people will do this. The kids are all going to get covid over and over and over again anyway

The trouble is, it isn’t a quarantine. If you close daycare, I hire sitters and lean on family. So he has MORE exposures in a week of closed daycare than a week of open daycare.

When your kid is exposed to covid, you hire sitters? Nice. What if your kids ends up with covid? Do you pay that sitter 10 extra days while they can’t work?

Let me know how avoiding covid in perpetuity goes for you. . .but let's blame parents who need to work to put a roof over their heads and food on the table.

You guys know this works both ways, right? I work with kids and babysit on the side, for tons of families and even after a known exposure and symptoms I don’t test. I need to make $ and yep, it goes both ways.

It’s been going pretty well, hon. 2.5 years and I still haven’t gotten covid, thanks to the shut downs. Childcare providers are in demand, I quit my daycare job to work as a nanny for $33/hr instead of $18.

That’s nice- the classes at our daycare have been shutdown several times from teachers bringing Covid to daycare (probably because they don’t get great sick leave?) but sure let’s just blame the kids and parents.

DP- we follow the cdc- test after 5 days and if negative hire a sitter. Our daycare does not follow the cdc for quarantines, it is longer and not sustainable.

Thankfully DC will be fully vaccinated in a month and will no longer have to quarantine for exposure.

This needs to stop. Parents need to really push government to change this esp since covid is so mild now

Odds are that you've had it up your nose and never knew it because it's just not a big deal for most people. But keep thinking it's because of your moral superiority.

Just use a PDF editor to change the date on a previous test report.

A teacher at my kid's preschool had a stroke after having COVID so I'm going to respect their caution. Yes COVID can still be very very serious.
