We could have changed the policies for other major illnesses, as well as covid. But no, instead we're going to have the same bad policies for other major illnesses as for covid.

Why do you want kids to be deprived of education for a sniffly nose?

Why do you describe influenza and covid as "a sniffly nose"?

Because often covid is just that. Barely any symptoms...or even no symptoms. Influenza can also present as mild in someone who has been vaccinated.

And the person with the "sniffly nose" from covid goes to school or work and infects someone else with covid, who then gets major symptoms, because that's how infectious diseases work. They're diseases, which are infectious. So yes, I do want kids to be deprived of education while they are infectious with a disease that can make people seriously ill.

Most people don't know they're infectious. Simply out, it isn't possible to prevent people from ever getting sick.

Most people who are sick with an infectious disease don't know they're infectious? Wow.

Correct- they don't. They're either asymptomatic or presymptomatic. Are you just learning that now?

So it's ok for people who have symptoms and know they're infectious to go out and spread a disease because there are other people who may have the disease and be infectious without knowing it? Bonkers.

You're getting sick either way. That's life.

You need to stay home when sick. That’s life.

I'll tell you what. I'll let you know I am sick and you can stay home.

NP. That is just plain dumb. People stay home when sick. You’ve never stayed home when sick? Is this a new concept to you?

I only stay home if I feel too awful to go out. If I can function, I am at the grocery store and other places. Wear your mask if you are afraid of germs.

Why are you angry about life? What compels you to want to harm people?
Does it ever satisfy you for any length of time?

Settle down.

I mean, you could settle down with your anger.

Why not both? People will still get sick, but they will get sick less often if people stay home when they're sick. (Also, if people get vaccinated.) Generally, people prefer not getting sick, over getting sick. But your preferences may be different.

But that would be too logical for pp. she is scared to stay home.

People also generally prefer living their lives to being trapped at home or having to miss work/school. So given that we're all going to get sick occasionally anyway, on balance there isn't good reason to stay home if you're feeling well enough to do your daily activities.

We all know that. You would be better off accepting that since covid and prior (since you obviously think this is some new phenomena) that is has always been recommended to stay hone when ill. Catch up to modern medicine. This isn’t centuries ago medicine.

Why do you want kids to be deprived of education for a sniffly nose?

Why do you describe influenza and covid as "a sniffly nose"?

Because often covid is just that. Barely any symptoms...or even no symptoms. Influenza can also present as mild in someone who has been vaccinated.

And the person with the "sniffly nose" from covid goes to school or work and infects someone else with covid, who then gets major symptoms, because that's how infectious diseases work. They're diseases, which are infectious. So yes, I do want kids to be deprived of education while they are infectious with a disease that can make people seriously ill.

Most people don't know they're infectious. Simply out, it isn't possible to prevent people from ever getting sick.

Most people who are sick with an infectious disease don't know they're infectious? Wow.

Correct- they don't. They're either asymptomatic or presymptomatic. Are you just learning that now?

So it's ok for people who have symptoms and know they're infectious to go out and spread a disease because there are other people who may have the disease and be infectious without knowing it? Bonkers.

You're getting sick either way. That's life.

You need to stay home when sick. That’s life.

You're still going to get sick. Accept it.

Why not both? People will still get sick, but they will get sick less often if people stay home when they're sick. (Also, if people get vaccinated.) Generally, people prefer not getting sick, over getting sick. But your preferences may be different.

People also generally prefer living their lives to being trapped at home or having to miss work/school. So given that we're all going to get sick occasionally anyway, on balance there isn't good reason to stay home if you're feeling well enough to do your daily activities.

I prefer going on vacation everyday since this is preference-based as you suggest.
