[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are a former daycare family and would love to go back, but have been hesitant due to COVID risk. Most of our friends' kids are back in daycare and they are all coming home sick now, with stomach bugs, colds, the typical daycare viruses that we were used to getting when DC was enrolled. If these viruses are being spread, despite all the "precautions" -- what makes people think that the risk of COVID is reduced? It seems inevitable that if a family gets COVID, the kids in that room will also be exposed.

It also seems like the classes/schools are NOT shutting down when a child gets sick with congestion/fever/gastro issues, unless there is a positive test. But since testing is so poor, and not really enforced, how is this supposed to help?

I think if rates of infection in the DC area stay low, this is less of an issue, but is anyone else concerned about this? Or am I being crazy?[/quote]

My 4 year old is showing signs of a cold (runny nose, no fever). I was wondering how he has these symptoms after 4 days back in daycare and the kids are supposed to be wearing masks all day. I suspect that the 4 year olds are not keeping the masks on properly for the 7-10 hours they are there. The center is open 11 hours a day.  [/quote]

Masks are not 100% and depending on the mask they offer little protection.  4 year olds touch everything and share.[/quote]
