[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Every time they post guidance they create confusion. They should just follow the state. [/quote]

I’m beginning to think it’s deliberate rather than straight up incompetence.  The county’s ongoing lack of consideration and understanding towards working families and parents who would dare to use childcare is feeling more republican by the minute.[/quote]

I believe it is deliberate. Our center director, who has a lot of interaction with DHHS and I trust, told me that no one at DHHS wants to take responsibility for something tragic happening to a young child and that is what is driving the decisions. She said it does not matter how exceedingly rare a severe outcome is in a young child or whether there are other greater everyday risks, no one in MoCo government wants to take the risk of a headline that a child had a severe outcome from a case caught in a daycare. The irony is of course we are harming kids through draconian policies to protect from something unlikely to harm them. So I believe they are very vague about what they put in writing and say it is only guidance daycares can do what they want. But I know providers are frustrated because they are confused and are looking for actual guidance.[/quote]

It's absurd that we have DHHS making decisions based on fear and feelings rather than science.  And no elected officials seems willing to call them on it.[/quote]
