[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We just got notified of a ten-day closure due to a positive case in my five-year-old's class. She is vaccinated. Her little brother also has to quarantine for the full ten days. We just did this less than a month ago. Something has gotta give!!!!!! [/quote]

They're making her quarantine even though she's vaccinated? That shouldn't happen. Is the brother in the same class? Why does he need to quarantine?[/quote]

You do realize that vaccinated adults and children can still get COVID and pass it on to others? If your child has been exposed, please keep them out of school, even if they are vaccinated.

Except this isn't how the public schools are handling things now.  Vaccinated children in public schools don't quarantine for exposure anymore.
Do you quarantine your children if they are exposed to flu, RSV, or HFM?[/quote]

Public schools are K-12 and for children 5 and over which means 100% of the population is vaccine eligible. The majority of daycare kids are under 5 and not vaccine eligible. This is why CDC has separate guidelines for daycare.

The CDC has separate guidelines for daycare because they despise women who work outside the home. There is no other logic behind it. Unvaccinated kids under age 5 are lower risk than every other age group despite being unvaccinated. As you yourself mentioned the vaccinated people can spread COVID SO WHY DO ONLY YOUNG CHILDREN HAVE TO QUARANTINE? You cannot justify it, nobody can justify it. I absolutely hate, and I mean HATE this stupid country.[/quote]

The current situations with quarantines in daycare is untenable for working parents.  I've posted before on this thread and others, but we are at a total of 72 days of quarantine from childcare between my 2 kids in the past 18 months.  And they've never had covid.
And, FWIW, my Kindergartener is in aftercare at our daycare...10 out of 12 of the kids in her aftercare group are vaccinated, and yet they STILL quarantined the entire class due to one positive case in a staff member that was in the room for about a half hour.  10 days without aftercare, yet she was just fine to continue going to our public school.  Thankfully, at least her little sister wasn't quarantined from daycare, as well.[/quote]

Please keep this thread alive! I don’t think anyone making the policies truly understands the impact it has on working parents with daycare aged kids ( who are not vaccine eligible). The impacts are untenable![/quote]

+1. Reading the news about the administration planning for potential late June rollout of under-5 vaccines. Are we still going to do this sh*t when the toddlers are all vaxxed? Please tell me no.[/quote]

Jesus I hope not, but I really don’t know.  There’s a preK room at our daycare where all the kids have been 5 for a while and yet they’re all still wearing masks (parental choice, no longer required). It’s not like they are mixing with the 2yos, even outside time is separated by classroom. And we were recently updated that should anyone in your house get Covid, the daycare kid has to stay home for 15 days minimum regardless of vaccination status.  I just don’t know what it will take for Covid to be treated like other illnesses.[/quote]

This type of policy to me just helps Covid spread.

Who in the family in their right mind would test if you had to keep your daycare child out for over 2 weeks when it is completely possible they may never get it in the first place?!?!?!?[/quote]

There are a lot of perverse incentives in daycares. I need a doctor's note if my kid is out sick for 3 days? OK, I guess I'll just send them back on day 3 then.[/quote]
