[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our daycare has yet to publish any new guidelines, but they do seem to be being flexible on an ad-hoc basis (in terms of out-of-school exposure or parent cases).  But we still haven't had many cases, and our last closure was in January during Omicron.

I do think they are likely to shut down a classroom for 10 days if there is a case in the room, though.  I guess we'll probably eventually find out.  Has CDC flowed new guidance that suggests they shouldn't?  I don't think so.

I am most angry that these restrictions/policies come with no support, like paid parental leave.  It is fine for me, but not for everyone.[/quote]

Yep we've gone 2 years without any of us getting covid or being symptomatic but I oscillate between 15 hours and 40 because every 2-3 months i have to take off 1-2 days for an exposure and test or class closure and test or weekend virus then test. 
I've got a whole week during summer to cover when daycare is closed and there is no way I will have 40 hours saved up. Not to mention what happens if I get sick or my son actually gets sick. The stress is heavy every single time. It feels crushing at times with anxiety of balancing my own needs, work, daycare closures, my DH having a freak accident. There's no bandwidth for emergency for most normally and now it's even less. [/quote]

This is where I'm at too.  The stress and anxiety is overwhelming at times. Would love to have a week where Covid doesn't pop up or work has to be cut short for the next emergency or unexpected closure.  It's become more stressful as the world has opened up and no one has any patience for Covid anymore.  Harder to say to work that I have to take time because the daycare closed again.  We are looking at back up sitters but that takes time.[/quote]
