[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Speaks to the entitlement of DCUM that folks don't understand why some child care providers need to remain open, especially if they serve health care workers.  The whole point of social distancing is to avoid overwhelming the health care system.  If half the nurses are home with their kids, guess what happens to the health care system?[/quote]

This is why we frankly should be opening up daycares--or repurposing existing ones--for the children of health care workers. Everyone who doesn't work in these "essential" sectors should be staying home with their kids. Unfortunately, our system doesn't allow for that.[/quote]

Agreed, though putting myself in the shoes of a health care worker I don't know that I would be willing to leave my child with a provider I don't know.  [/quote]

I don't mean to sound snarky here, but you clearly don't understand the shoes of most frontline health care workers. I'm not talking about the dermatologist with a SAHM wife, but rather the critical care nurse or paramedic married to a firefighter or cop (a common combination).  In an emergency, they don't have a choice whether to go to work and to pick and choose if Larla down the street can watch their kid... and if they are exposed to the virus, their child is safer with licensed providers they don't know than with them.
