[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think people's shock at other responses, on both sides, are mainly because we haven't even determined what a "cold" looks like, in terms of keeping a child home.

Fever- stay home
diarrhea/vomiting- stay home
runny/mucus eyes- stay home
coughing- stay home
runny/stuffy nose- go to school
sneezing- go to school

I'm one who posted to stay home and I'd be fine with this (as long as sneezing isn't too frequent).  [/quote]

Heh--I wrote this list, and I posted previously go to school.  Just shows how different people define "a cold."  I think of it as mainly congestion, needing to blow your nose frequently, maybe a sore throat, but nothing that requires medication beyond a throat drop and doesn't really impede learning.  Colds with a fever or infection are a different story.[/quote]

So, congestion/stuffy nose is a COVID symptom but if you are tested to rule it out then it's off to school they go! https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/symptoms-testing/symptoms.html [/quote]
