Some of you have lost your minds.

+1. If my kids get sick, I will keep them home. I will absolutely not be testing them. Testing and isolating for ten days for a cold is insane.

Because the child who catches it from your child may have worse symptoms? Selfish pricks.

That's true of the cold, flu, strep, RSV and every other virus that we treat the same way. Stay home if you are sick, go back when you are well.

Yup. There's a large flu vaccine campaign run every year in Canada by a family whose son was killed by influenza B that his sister brought home from school. https://www.forjudeforeveryone.com/

This doesn’t apply if your student was I’ll over Wintet Break and or last week.

From now on, FCPS is returning to a letter that will be sent home with your student should they leave school with CLI.

My kid was symptomatic last week. I called my kids school this morning. They can return on Wed. The school sent me a letter via email that she'll take with her on Wed.
