[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are they still advising isolating at home for 5 days with Covid?  Because at our BTS night the presentation was really driving home the new program to combat absences and how kids will get flagged missing 9 or more days, how even missing a couple days per month is associated with reading struggles, etc.  But one bout with Covid could potentially keep a kid out for over half that alone.  Just seems to be a bit of a disconnect.[/quote]

No. [b]Just keep them home when they have a fever.[/b][/quote]

This.  I'll keep my kid home with a fever or a sore throat/bad cough.

[b]I'm not testing[/b] and I'm not keeping my kid home for a simple cough/runny nose.  [/quote]

You can still get tests for free at the library.[/quote]

DP. I am in favor of testing if you have symptoms, but I think more people would test if tests were free and easy to access. People like the PP act as if there are unlimited tests available 24 hours a day at public libraries. Here is today's updated list, and you will see that tests are not available at many locations:

It amazes me rich people will not pay for test kits or masks.  Leave the free ones for people who cannot afford it.  Some schools still have them.  [/quote]

Don’t worry the rich people aren’t taking these. Because they’re not testing anymore. Feee or otherwise. [/quote]

Truly pathetic.  It’s going around our school.  Fortunately the kids are decent enough to text each other to test and be careful.  [/quote]

Illnesses “go around” everywhere. And they always will.[/quote]

Because people like you are spreading it.  [/quote]

How long do you "quarantine" for the common cold, which for many kids and adults is much more debilitating than COVID-19, and without a vaccine.  And what of those lingering coughs associated with post nasal than can last a couple weeks? That's what I thought.

No fever + normal energy = child goes to school [/quote]
