[quote=Anonymous]I'm going to be honest because I've talked to my mom about this and her response was schools didn't close for every single thing. They just didn't. And daycares didn't close and it was highly understood that kids are in school when they're in school and when they're in care and you're paying for it that the care needs to be open. 
I told her what we're looking at for daycare prices including home daycares and she tells me that my younger brother when he was a baby she used an in-home daycare and it was $75 a week and she could drop him off in jammies and he was bathed every day by the owner who was a retired grandma and she only took infants and she would have like two at a time and she would rock them to sleep and take them outside and basically like took care of them like a grandma would. 
This was of course almost 30 years ago but with each decade it's gotten harder and harder to not only provide care but to find care and to pay for it. On Reddit in the daycare stack there's people who are talking about how they have to pick up their kid because their kid had three bowel movements. An infant.  And they need a doctor's note to return. The state regulation states that if a child has three loose or diarrhea movements then they need to be called and they've got staff calling because an infant who has breastfed is at three bowel movements. 
And covid completely reset illness policies and closures. It's made some of the policies honestly obscene and difficult to navigate and when you make them difficult to navigate people just stop following them and then they end up being less effective.
