[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Brother's kid had 99 fever a couple of weeks ago.  Sent home from day care.  Ped said no need for covid test - probably HFM.  Three days later, 99 fever again, finally got covid test and was positive.  By then entire family had it and they had exposed but not infected our parents.  [/quote]

This type of scenario is exactly why we kept our preschooler who woke up with a 99 fever home until we got the negative COVID test result. Our ped didn’t want to test either do we went to urgent care. It only took a few days to come back. It’s inconvenient but it’s part of being a good member of your school’s community. Why would you want to be the one who brings COVID to school because you decided it wasn’t that without actually getting a test?

Stop making 2019 decisions in 2020.[/quote]

I don't understand why the ped didn't want to test?  Do pediatrician offices just not want to be testing for covid period?  It would be easier if they said this upfront.[/quote]
