How about if we get satisfaction from NOT giving RSV to someone else's child? You let your kid be around other kids when they had RSV. And yet your only takeaway is to hate your MIL for daring to tell you to take your kid to the doctor. She was probably being sarcastic when she said take your kid to the doctor after two weeks of coughing. Most people wouldn't wait that long.

Thanks on behalf of all the other parents who now have to deal with RSV, and possibly have their kids in the packed emergency rooms dealing with it. You are a real sweetheart, PP.

Not PP but doctors offices are pretty overwhelmed right now. I’m not taking my kids in to be tested for RSV for every little cold symptom. Amazing how the expectation has changed since the pandemic started. RSV just used to be something everyone got unknowingly.

Things change, you idiot!! COVID used to be something everyone got unknowingly -- a simple cold -- until it wasn't. We are in an RSV surge. Hospitals are filling to capacity with children who have RSV. Do you really not know that? To stupidly pretend it's an attitude adjustment issue when it's actually a community health crisis is just plain idiotic.

People who don't care if they send to their children to school coughing when we are in the middle of a public health crisis regarding respiratory illness for children are either monsters or morons. Take your pick.

You are insane. No, doctors do not want you to take your child in for mild symptoms. Why would you think it is remotely a good idea to flood doctors' offices with mild cases of RSV? WTAF is wrong with you? Even if you do get an RSV test and test positive, the only guideline for sending a child back to school is when they feel better. They will not tell you to keep your child home for 8 days purely because of a positive test. There are reasons for that, which I am sure you don't care about while you spout off made up medical advice.

Can you read at all? Where does it say to take you child to the doctor? I said KEEP THEM HOME. DON'T SEND THEM TO SCHOOL.

You called PP an "idiot" for suggesting it does not make sense to take kids to the doctor for mild symptoms (it does not make sense, it is dangerous). And no, families will not be keeping their kids home because of runny noses and coughs. Scream at me all you want, that does not change the reality that what you are asking is for children to miss several weeks of school every semester. It is not going to happen.

I don't think folks realize how the systems set up to stop the spread of COVID (testing, quarantine, isolation, masking of healthy children) are not appropriate for every virus, because they are extremely costly, disruptive, and harmful. What will be great for RSV is the vaccine, when it is widely available.

It seems like there has been an RSV vaccine in development for a while now.

Another downside of the huge effort to stop the spread of Covid is that kids weren't getting much exposure to RSV and other viruses. Now it's all coming home to roost.

False. But it helps you to spread false information. The numbers don't support your rumor at all. Older kids who already were exposed to RSV and viruses are in the hospital right now. Your internet meem doesn't support the facts of what is happening. The pandemic didn't start 10 years ago, lots of older kids are sick now who were exposed to everything years ago.
The difference is those older kids have had covid and now they are more vulnerable to other viruses and infections. Covid is making society sicker.

So, better to make all the other kids in the school sick so they have to stay home because you were too selfish to keep yours home a few days. Nice. No wonder our kids have so many problems. Their parents don't even care enough to keep them home and care for them when they are sick.

You and I both know coughs and runny noses frequently last more than a few days. You are obviously not participating in this discussion in good faith. Why is that?

Not PP but which hospitals are filled with older kids? Just curious, my cousin is in a PICU unit where it’s primary little kids coming in but she’s not in the DMV.

It's the responsibility of all MAGAs to spread misinformation.

I should say she *works* in a PICU unit, not there as a patient.

So prior Covid exposure is making RSV infections worse? Do you have a link to that study? Otherwise it sounds as made up as the PP’s assertion.

This is why it’s good to be in the VA- we’ll let the rest of you world destruct with your repeated Covid, rsv, and flu infections. Good luck guys.

It’s because we stopped masking

We need mask mandates back until we get past this wave!
