[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I understand OP's frustration. My DS3 has been in daycare since August 2021 (we'd kept him and DS8 home the prior year). As much as I like the idea of masks, they just don't work in daycares. Maybe in preschools where the kids are there just a few hours. But at my kid's school, they eat three times a day and many weren't very good about masking. His classroom closed three times from Jan/Feb.

Bottom line: I'm sure there are some exceptions, but I'd say that for the most part, if you're sending your child to daycare, you have to know that there's a real chance of exposure.

And for folks who think they haven't gotten in, many of you have. My DS8 got a positive at the weekly school testing. He had the most insignificant nose run and was perhaps slightly more fatigued than normal. Had the school not caught , I wouldn't have thought to test. I'd also had minor cold symptoms, prompting me to test as I'd had a known exposure. I finally got a positive a week after symptoms started. Had I not known about the exposure, I would have thought I'd had a light cold.[/quote]

If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?

Of course our family can get exposed to COVID at daycare, we all know this, this is nothing new or groundbreaking. FWIW I am one of the posters that said we haven't gotten it, and for the past year or so we have been getting PCR tests every time DD gets sick, even just a runny nose, and they have always been negative. Of course it's possible that we did catch it and the tests didn't detect it. At that point, I'm sorry, I just don't care. None of us have had lingering symptoms. Of course I don't want to get anybody sick, but we've been following public health advice and doing everything we can to protect people and at a certain point there are only so many things I can worry about.
