[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

You sound like you have more leave / a much more flexible work situation than the average parents using daycare.[/quote]

I do, don't I?  Except I absolutely did not.  [/quote]

You do.  Or an extremely healthy only child, given that you’re suggesting blowing an entire annual PTO budget the first time one kid catches RSV for the first time in a given winter.[/quote]
