[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]my 7 year tested positive. He's sick with a high fever.

Me, DW and DD are all negative.

The frustrating thing is[b] WE DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO! [/b]We told people we were in contact with and are staying home for a week. But this is more our own judgment than anything out there because the guidance is contradictory (esp. in Virginia).

It is about to get VERY BAD. Stay home and be safe folks. This version of covid flying around DC (much of congress that tested apparently have it).[/quote]

I'm sorry that your child is sick.

But what do you need someone to tell you to do?  Go to the doctor if it warrants it.  Stay home if you are ill.  Follow the CDC guidance on close contacts.  Why is this hard?[/quote]

Because.

1. The CDC guidelines are full of dead links that are supposed to have specific guidance as to what we should do in circumstances where someone is positive in a household and symptomatic and the rest are negative and show no symptoms.

2. The county has vague guidance referring to the CDC.

3. The schools refer to the county.

4.  We called our ped but they haven't called us back and honestly this is a waste of their time. We shouldn't have to bother a provider to figure out what do. I am baffled by the public health failure that seems almost systemically organize to confuse and piss people off. It is almost like the plan was to sow discord and get people in corners on masks/no masks blah blah instead of just telling us what to do and we simply follow it. I HATE how vague and confusing everything is. It is almost by design so anyone can interpret things in a manner they see fit (which is inconsistent).[/quote]
