Parvovirus etc as school starts

[Anonymous]

Should or will County Health Leader, Dr Kisha Davis, send out a message about rising cases of xyz viruses before school starts? Mcps does not have a medical officer any longer, so who is handling communications regarding any community health related concerns?

DC got hand foot mouth disease there. Ugh. It was awful.

*I* got HFM from my kindergartener. I lost the top layer of skin from my hands and feet, plus my toenails. It was great fun.

Why would the school need to do that? You can read the news for yourself.

You have had it as a child.

Your child will have it as a child.

You were fine.

They will be fine.

There was leaded gas when I was a child. Am I fine? I suppose. Leaded gas is still something to try to prevent exposure to, though.

Ok knock yourself out trying to prevent your child from getting ubiquitous childhood viruses.

Can we have some nuance here, please? Some viruses are worse than others. Some viruses it makes sense to take stronger prevention steps for, some viruses it doesn't. Measles, mumps, rubella, chickenpox, and whooping cough also used to be ubiquitous childhood viruses, after all.

Ok well - parvo is not worth doing anything special about. Larlo is not at risk of monkeypox unless he is visiting bathhouses (always possible I guess).

How about teachers and paraeducators who may visit all sorts of places in their 1.5months off?

FWIW I did tell my pregnant SIL when my son had parvo around the time she visited. I had never heard about it before and was googling. She was like “why are you telling me this.” She’s a doctor.

What kind of doctor?

https://www.cdc.gov/parvovirus-b19/about/parvovirus-b19-in-pregnancy.html

A doctor who sees ill patients all the time and understands how to calculate risk and is not given to excessive worry in her personal life.

No, that is not a specialty.

Is it the school system’s job to inform employees about safe sex? Even if a teacher got mpox there’s zero evidence it spreads from normal teacher-student contact.

I’m sorry that you have to face evidence that medical professionals are less obsessed than you are about childhood viruses.
