[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sick children with infectious diseases should not be in school infecting other people.

Schools need to test these children that are coughing and sneezing for infectious diseases and remove them form class if it’s infectious.

I believe Children with allergies are more prone to die when they get the flu or COVID. So if my kid had allergies I would not knowingly send him into a classroom with the air full of COVID or the flu. [/quote]

[b]It’s cold season. So many kids are running around with coughs and sneezing and runny noses that don’t have Covid. Those kids should not be staying home for 7 to 10 days missing instruction.[/b] And now they need a doctors note after five days or they’ll be kicked out of school. Kids will allergies will be just fine. Obviously if your child has Covid or flu, stay home but their other bugs running around.

And don’t you remember when they tried testing kits for Covid back in 2021? Only a fraction of a parrot signed up for it. So that will never work.[/quote]

Agreed. That's why a mask is a good idea. The kids can be in school, and the mask will reduce the chances that they infect other people.[/quote]

No, a mask is NOT a good idea for otherwise healthy kids.

You are welcome to wear a mask all day, every day for the rest of you life if you so choose.  Kids get sick.  It's part of life.  And, actually, some have argued that it's a good thing because it helps kids develop a strong immune system.  [/quote]

If [b]you have an infectious illness, then you are not a "healthy kid" - [/b]you are a kid who has an infectious disease.

Yes, kids get sick. And when they do, we respond appropriately. For example, we keep them at home, or we take them to the doctor - or we get them vaccinated. A mask at school, so they're less likely to infect other kids or adults, is an appropriate response.[/quote]

Don’t be obtuse. Yes, they are healthy kids. And [b]healthy kids can get sick with the flu, colds, or stomach bugs[/b]. I keep my kids home too, but guess what I’m not gonna have them mask at school for colds. And if I was the type of person who was so concerned about getting infected, then I would mask myself up and not demand that of other people.[/quote]

Yes, and then they're infectious, and it's socially responsible to do what you can so they don't infect other people. Which might include masks. [/quote]

Masking alone is only one precaution as it's surfaced based so everything your kid touches will cause spread to others. Are you really that clueless or just don't care?  Both are equally bad.

You are not socially responsible to send sick kids to school.  The impact on others could be far greater from major health issues, long term sickness, loss of income, etc.  But, you don't care if someone else loses income for a week sitting in your million dollar house and multiple vacations a year.[/quote]
