[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Haven't read the whole thread but I have chronic rhinitis. If a runny nose means we can't go into buildings, I would literally never leave my house. This is how many of us live. It's unrealistic to demand people with runny noses never leave the house. [/quote]

I am one of those people too and so is one of my kids. That's why I get so annoyed by some of those holier than thou people talking about "snotty noses" [b]before[/b] COVID-19. I was the poster who mentioned making my kid wear a mask to make other people feel better. You can't catch his allergies or mine, but some people are consumed with anger about things that shouldn't matter.

FYI, it my younger son's private school, students can provide documentation of a chronic condition, like runny nose, so that it would not necessarily require exclusion from school unless it as accompanied by other, new symptoms, like a headache. Obviously easier to do with a smaller population, but . . .

In addition, as noted above, using Maryland's definition of "COVID-19-like" illness, you would not meet that definition without a runny nose AND another symptom like fever of 100.4 or higher (measured or subjective), chills or shaking chills, muscle aches, headache, sore throat, nausea or vomiting, diarrhea, or fatigue.[/quote]
