[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why would you even follow up with the doctor, if you are prepared to ignore his or her advice and are willing to put a kid with CHICKENPOX on a plane full of people on DCUM's say-so?

What is wrong with you? If a DOCTOR says a kid has chickenpox and there is a risk of getting others sick, STAY OFF A PLANE, MORON.[/quote]
No, it's the other way around.  OP is asking if she can fly [b]if doctor says it's ok because kid is not contagious[/b].  However, DCUM thinks it went to med school and says it's not ok, regardless of what the actual doc thinks.  [/quote]

No idea, but it sounds it’ll be a close call.  There’s potential liability on the line here.[/quote]

It is a gray area for sure.  With 50-60 pox or more they may mostly look scabbed but what if the dr didn't notice one spot that wasn't? Or
perhaps a new lesion shows up that goes unnoticed. It it too soon from onset to reliably and definitively declare this child not contagious.  Hopefully any dr would agree sending this child on an airplane is a terrible idea [/quote]
