[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter has been going to daycare this entire time, since we are essential workers.

There have been no cases among teachers or kids at her center.

I haven't heard of any cases in MD linked to daycares. [/quote]

Are all the parents essential workers? My initial guess would be that essential workers are probably more aware of the risks and more careful about hygiene, etc. I would expect childcare facilities to become hotspots as the gen population gets back to work and there are more kids from parents who believe the virus is a hoax/not a risk or not social distancing.

Yes, of course the parents are essential workers; otherwise the center would not be able to operate.

[b]The precautions I'm talking about are not dependent on parents. They are things that could be instituted with the general population as well. Things like required temp checks for kids & staff before they can enter the building, parents dropping off/picking up at the entrance and not be allowed inside, professional sanitization of the building, etc. Parents can kick and scream about it, but can't stop the school from continuing these practices.

Many of these precautions are only as good as the lack of an asymptomatic carrier getting in the center.  You get one of those in the daycare center and you will have an outbreak.  I just don't see how it's avoidable.

I think PP's point was the parents of essential workers are likely to be more cautious and thus prevent their kids from becoming asymptomatic carriers in the first place.  [/quote]
