[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ours was pretty adamant last week to keep DD (1 year old) home if we could, mostly because of the risk to us.

However, it seems to me like there might be more of a risk to young children than originally thought with that multi-system inflammatory thing.  The more we learn about this f**** virus, it's just never good.  Almost like it was meant to stay in an animal and not a human.

I don't think there is a good answer for daycare parents at this point. [b] Need the child care, but it seems inevitable that it will spread like wild fire through daycares.[/b]  I am pretty despondent about it.  DH is more cavalier about it, so I will vent here. [/quote]

Maybe, but I don’t think we know that yet. Sweden never closed childcare centers IIRC.  Denmark has reopened theirs I think.  Any other countries?  Have their been any documented daycare outbreaks anywhere?

The fact of the matter is that you cannot really open the economy without opening childcare. Many of our politician leaders seem pretty oblivious to this. I think what will happen is that a lot of parents will keep their kids home anyway, but sooner or later you need to give parents the option IF you are asking them to work.[/quote]

It’s happening a lot in Canada.

I’m sure it’s happening here too, but since we aren’t testing asymptomatic kids on a regular basis like they are, it shows up as one infected family or staff member at a time instead of an “outbreak.”
