[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This system is going to disincentive even taking a Covid test. A positive test is like a kiss of death for two-three weeks for you and all the families in the daycare. Flame away, but if my kid has a slight cold or a fever from now on, I will keep him/her at home for a couple of days, but won't test.[/quote]

We cant do that. If our kid is sick, which is the only reason I would keep them home, we have to test to return. [/quote]

That's for your kid. Parents getting sick is a different issue. I know a parent who had a mild case of COVID (sick for two days), then the spouse got it a few days later, but the kids never got it. The youngest had to quarantine for 25 days from daycare!

day 1 = 1st parent symptoms
day 5 = 2nd parent symptoms
day 15 = 2nd parent isolation
day 25 = when child could return to daycare based on starting a quarantine on day 15

So yes, if one has a runny nose, it does make one hesitant about testing, and I think about saying when symptoms started, or what consistutes an exposure to a parent. What if I stay in a room all day and only come out after day 5 with a mask?[/quote]
