[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have three kids, one in preschool/daycare, and the older two in a distance learning hub in their school building.  All three will keep going to these places until they’re forced to shut down.  DH and I don’t go anywhere aside from occasional trips to the grocery store, we both work FT, and our kids need childcare.

[b]Daycares don’t drive COVID transmission. [/b] Neither do small groups of older kids, wearing masks, and spaced apart appropriately.[/quote]

I'm sure they don't drive in large numbers, but I know two people who got covid from their kids in day care  earlier this year, so I would like to see local numbers. I'm not alarmist, I'm a parent who needs my day care open, but I want to have a clear and informed view of risk in December, not July. [/quote]

You know that many daycares were open for children of essential workers throughout the pandemic, right?  If daycares were a major driver of transmission, even in areas with high positivity rates, we’d know it by now.  Cases here and there, sure.  We have neighbors who all got COVID from their youngest being in daycare (they were all fine, thankfully).

If you want no exposure to your kid, keep them home.  [b]But please don’t imply that daycares are some hidden source of major COVID spread.[/b]  They’re not.[/quote]

Where did you get that from PP?  The data should be available.  What's wrong with asking for that?

Yeah I don’t believe this claim at all.  I believe they truly are a driver but if you have the data to prove me wrong I’ll gladly reconsider.[/quote]
