[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your doctor will see you, if you need that.  The main problem is you'll be spending your co-pay all the time for the doctor to declare it's a cold, not COVID.  But this will be part of the disruption that people don't seem to grasp.  I have told my work I can't spend time in the office until I have reliable and NORMAL daycare/school for my kids.  Because one runny nose and they are home for the week or more.

So even if daycares/schools open, there will still be significant disruption.  The sooner employers realize teleworking will be the norm (for jobs that allow it) the better.

My 3 year old's school is prepping to open.  I am less likely to send him if they try to require masks.  I don't think the payoff is worth it.  If I'm sending him, I'm accepting the risk of group care and don't really want the social/emotional detriment of masks on young kids.  If the teachers wear them, fine.

If you have a high deductible plan, $300 for a visit/note. I've done this for a note to say my kid didn't have pink eye. With two kids, assuming they each got sick a few times during the fall/winter and had to go to the doctor each time or stay out of daycare for a week or, that's a pretty good chunk of change in doctor's notes, care you paid for but didn't use, and possibly unpaid leave when you run out of paid leave. Not sure the centers should do anything differently, but it does make me want to explore a more flexible home care or nanny arrangement.[/quote]
