[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If Covid weren't an issue, this still reads like a kid who should be kept home from the time symptoms started. A child with a persistent cough, fatigue, sore throat, and stomach issues should be home resting, not sitting in a classroom with 25 other students and a teacher. In the past, schools probably wouldn't have made the kid stay home unless he had a fever, but going forward they definitely should when in-person classes resume. My guess is this will cut down on transmission of flu, strep, stomach viruses, etc.  Yes, it's inconvenient for a lot of families, but it's going to be necessary from a public health standpoint.[/quote]

Umm. A cough isn't "persistent" the day it starts.  The sore throat didn't exist until today.  Just curious, do you want schools to reopen full time F2F?[/quote]

Dp. A random one off cough is nothing to be concerned about. A persistent (repeatedly over a period of time -even a couple of hours) is something to be concerned about. I want schools to resume, but I'd also love it if my kid could get through the year without getting sick from kids who come to school ill.[/quote]
