[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, what you really mean is keep child COVID spreaders in school, right?  People who are positive but don’t necessarily feel sick still need to stay home and quarantine.  What are you people not understanding?[/quote]

COVID is here to stay. We've never locked healthy kids out of school that just happened to pop a positive on a test - never done that for the flu.  Is this the new normal you want?

That's why we're not signing up and none of our friends are. What was the last opt-in rate? 18%. I'm hoping for less than 5% this time.[/quote]

COVID is not the flu.  We are still in the middle of a global pandemic with a highly communicable novel disease that causes long-lasting health issues in people who get infected.  Ask your pediatrician if you should send a “healthy” positive child into school and see what they say.[/quote]

You're right - COVID is not the flu, but actually much milder in kids than the flu.  It's not so novel anymore either, considering it's been around for 2 years now. Plus, COVID will be here forever.

Please don't start with Long COVID. Love it when there's a control group in those studies, and the control group has more "Long COVID" than the actual group that had COVID.

If you're scared to death about a less than flu level risk and now vaccines are widely available, keep your own kids locked up until they're 18 when they can disown you for ruining their childhood.
