+1 no one is going to take 5 days unless there is special leave for it.

Plus many people including students are not testing so there's Covid d everywhere anyway.

At this pt it's like flu, RSV etc.

why would i want you to expose my toddler to RSV or the flu either? with a baby at home. we are so screwed. soon we'll say no worries go to school with measles.

Then I guess they shouldn’t be in daycare. That’s the risk you take sending them out in public.

Cool. I in fact do keep my 1 year old home exactly because of people like you but would also like her to have preschool and normal life and not live in a world where people knowingly infect others with rsv, measles, covid. 2019 life people were more considerate

Haven't you gotten your kid vaccinated? If not, then you are the problem.

Seriously! Get your kids vaccinated and then you don’t have to worry about the teachers making choices in line with CDC guidance/their available PTO!

You all realize the vaccine doesn't prevent. Covid or spreading it? Of course mine is fully vaccinated but don't want her bringing covid home to my immunocompromised self, particularly when pregnant given the horrible things with covid in pregnancy. Paid leave is a better policy then force childcare workers to work while sick

It does prevent Covid and it does reduce the spread, it just doesn’t do it to the degree you were expecting (which was near 100%)

i never expected that... i just didn't expect people to knowingly go around spreading a virus given that they thought a vaccine made it safe to go spread it. yea the solution is clearly never have a child

If you're that scared of illness then you probably shouldn't.

Sounds like you made a bad choice getting pregnant while immunocompromised and still this afraid of covid.

+1. The world is not going to stop to accommodate you. You have to adapt.

[Anonymous]

Some of you just love to make other people miss work. No concept that not everyone can work from home or has access to unlimited leave. I hope people who are sick stay home but people who are not sick should be able to go to work. Not sure what is so complicated about that.

If it prevented it Covid would no longer be a thing.

No one is preventing you from working. If you are testing positive you can transmit it to others and prevent them from working.

You're right that nobody is preventing me or anyone else from working. Thankfully now I do not need to violate CDC guidance to go into the office when I am feeling fine.

Rapid covid tests are not contagiousness tests. After you are feeling better, you are unlikely to transmit to others. This has been known since the beginning of the pandemic, but it was really important to prevent any spread when people didn't have immunity from vaccines or infection. Now almost everyone has some immunity (that doesn't mean you can't get it, of course, just that you are less likely to) which means that the cost of staying home is no longer worth it. Most people had already figured this out before the CDC's announcement.

Clearly you are a selfish person who makes up their own narrative to justify their behavior.

I'm sure you knew this but just in case you didn't- rapid tests do measure infectiousness. PCR do not. And you seem to have the sort of job that you can be on a computer all day so assume you could also work from home while covid ( or flu or rsv or whatever other virus) positive

But we don't know where measure of non-trivial infectiousness is, besides the fact that rapid tests don't give you a measurement anyway. But we do know a positive rapid test does not necessarily mean you are meaningfully contagious.

No they don't. Keep saying this, doesn't make it true.

Rapid COVID tests don't measure anything. They tell you whether there is COVID in your nose or not. And they can be wrong.

[Anonymous]

The best test of infectiousness would be to take a sample from your nose and see if the COVID virus can be cultured from it. Well actually the best would be to see how many people you infect each day but obviously that is impossible in the absence of comprehensive contact tracing. Neither of these options are feasible for the general public.
