[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Personally I would be ok with it given that it’s been 6 days and because every kid gets RSV at some point and it is inevitable. Most kids in a toddler room have had it. I understand how scary RSV is but I also know it is in the center constantly whether my kid specifically has it or not. A mask is a great idea.[/quote]

+1 half the kids at the center probably have it too and haven't been tested

[b]To the PP that says "it can't be mild" that's just not true. Why would you say that?[/quote][/b]

PP here.  Because it's RSV.  Some viruses we know can be very dangerous to others and RSV is one of them.  What is mild in one child could kill another.  I cannot fathom sending my child to school who was positive for something like RSV. [/quote]

But when would you send them back? (Assuming no fever, acting like themselves, mild runny nose, etc as is the case with OP?)[/quote]

When they no longer tested positive or all symptoms are gone (except a lingering cough).  It sucks.  We did this all the time for any illness during the pandemic and it sucked.  But for something I knew was RSV or strep or COVID or the flu, I couldn't do it any other way.  (and we didn't have backup childcare during the pandemic, so I know it really does suck)[/quote]

I’m sorry you did this, but it probably made no difference in stopping the spread of anything. Fever free for 24 hours, symptoms improving, and able to participate is sound advice, except for things like strep which are 24 hours from start of antibiotics. [/quote]
