He has no symptoms, we only tested because a grandparent he'd visited recently was hospitalized with Covid. I've tested daily and am still negative, so I'm not too worried about him spreading Covid in school.

You do realize he can be spreading it without you personally getting it, right?

Other colds don’t kill people at the rate Covid does. Your flippant post is offensive to the millions who lost loved ones. Be better.

The primary danger from both colds and covid is that they lead to pneumonia in the old and infirm. Many people die of colds that turn into pneumonia but the CDC does not collect data on colds; they just attribute those cold deaths to pneumonia. In contrast, people that die from pneumonia due to covid are also logged as covid deaths. We have no way of knowing how deaths from colds compare to deaths from covid because we don't measure the former.

Why bother testing in the first place? Kid had no symptoms and testing positive didn’t change anything. Why bother?

FTR we don’t test at all so I’m not flaming you just curious why you bothered?

I have the same question. Why did you test when it has no impact on your behavior?

This. We only ever test one of our kids (only if they have symptoms) because they are truly immunocompromised and do alter our course of action if they have it.

this makes no sense. we also have an immunocompromised family member and we test everyone who comes down with the sniffles cuz we need to isolate them away from the vulnerable one to protect her. why don't you do this too PP?

Just cuz you're tired of it doesn't mean it went away. Some of us are trying to live our lives, and it's much easier to do that if you are not actively trying to spread illness.

It's not going away dumbass - it's a virus...learn to deal with it.

It's unreal. These people still probably still bow Dr. Covid himself Fauci.

24 hours fever/vomit/diarrhea free basically. It was like this before COVID and people somehow continued to go on with life.

Also many viruses are contagious before symptoms appear and the hypothetical COVID positive kid without symptoms is likely not even testing. We aren’t going back to masking kids just in case they become sick or doing surveillance testing. If you’re worried, you are free to use a quality N95.

Sure, and you're probably also triggered by other people wearing masks. Can't win.

Nope. I literally DGAF if someone wants to wear a mask. It doesn’t affect me at all. I support people making that choice for their bodies. How self centered do you have to be to think everyone is triggered by your mask?

And some of us are trying to live our lives which is much easier when we’re not sticking swabs up our nose and missing school/work for every sniffle.

The only reason to test is so they can get paxlovid if they have it (kid is 19). They're going to be exposed every day regardless.

I'm responding to the crazies on here who literally show they are triggered by a mask.
