[quote=Anonymous]Current etiquette in much of the country seems to be that “colds” even when not Covid, count as “sick.” Personally, I don’t see how this will be sustainable long-term, as young children have cold symptoms on average about half of the school year. Historically no one seriously considered keeping kids home unless there was fever, bad cough, feeling too sick for school/daycare/etc. Kids would almost never be able to go to school and parents would miss way too much work if every sniffle was at least a week of “sick time.” We’re in an odd place now where some parts of the country and social circles have shifted back toward the old way, and some still consider it obligatory to isolate for even the most minor symptoms. It really depends on what the norms are in your circles.[/quote]
