You're awful.

The person isn’t “awful”. No fever, no sneezing and rarely coughing? We wouldn’t consider testing either.

You are all awful. You should test because you should care about your community and that includes its most vulnerable members.

OP here. We kept her home. Got worse an hour or so after I posted. We are treating this like we do all viruses that go around. If either of my kids have a fever we don't send them in until 24 hours fever free, same with GI stuff (though there aren't any). If the kid is sneezing and coughing a lot we don't send them because it makes transmission more likely and it's disruptive. If fatigue is more than mild and/or there are headaches we keep them home.

how do you know half a dozen kids have if they have no symptoms and are not testing?

That is the point with asymptomatic spread. you don't know who has it. But most likely there are some number of students in each class that have it, and also some number of teachers in a school that will have it and don't know it.

A negative antigen test does not rule out the possibility someone could be infected and contagious. Because of that, I assume you must be in lockdown at home because you care about your community and that includes its most vulnerable members?

NP. It’s September. I’m not paying to test every time I get a sniffle or sneeze from my ragweed allergy.

I hope you also stopped going to the grocery store, and all indoor entertainment.

The teacher above wasn’t talking about COVID, they were referring to the callousness (and entitlement) of the posters - who are parents.

I hate to break it to the pp before you, but most school staff are not Covid testing every time they feel tired or have a sniffle. My DW says n1ot one word has been said to staff this year about Covid policy. If people don’t feel well they stay home. In the case of a fever it might prompt a test. If they feel ok, or once they feel better they go in. Just as they would for anything else.

Why did you put "Covid" in quotes? Did you test? If you tested, why did you?

We didn't test, but pretty sure it was because friend test positive (friends parents tested.)

Don’t test. Don’t tell. It’s not 2020 anymore.

Why even test if you won’t keep them home?

+1. Besides, teachers have witnessed first hand the price of unnecessary lockdowns on their students. This time around they will think twice before assuming the worse because there are sick kids at school.

The policy is basically to send the kid back after they are fever free for a couple of days, and have them wear a mask for 5 days (unless they test negative). It's almost pointless to try to do more, since it's obvious most kids are going to school with symptoms (it's just a cold for most kids), and aren't bothering even to test, much less mask. It's a covid free-for-all.

I do the same. I don’t think it’s common to test for Covid anymore and you’re congested or sneezy.

I’m the teacher PP and you are absolutely correct. This isn’t about Covid to me as much as it is about callousness and entitlement.

I’m not worried about sniffles. I’m worried about the 102 degree fevers, vomiting, and sleeping students parents regularly send to school. Regularly.

I end up taking care of them instead of teaching content. I then get to wait for it to spread, meaning I’ll have 4-5 other kids out the following week.
