[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you likely didn't tell them both your kids are fully vaccinated.  Those aren't the rules for fully vaccinated people.[/quote]

OP here— of course we told them he was fully vaxxed. And told them again when they said to quarantine with a negative test. [/quote]

This is just giving fodder to the anti-vaxxers, anti-maskers and Covid deniers.   What’s the point of vaccinating and testing if you disregard the test results and the fact a person is vaccinated and impose draconian restrictions?  It’s ludicrous and will result in the opposite behaviours they want.   People will refuse to get tested.   That doesn’t help us at all.  [/quote]

That's my takeaway. [/quote]

+1. After reading this thread, fully vaxxed members of my house aren’t going to test. My under 12s will get tested if they have a cough, but not every time they feel a bit off. [/quote]

+2. Op here. And I bought a stack of at home rapid tests and a few at home Amazon PCP mail in overnight tests.  We are all fully vaxxed, so the next kid with congestion gets a rapid test at home, and sent to school. The next kid with a fever and real symptoms gets a PCR test mailed in and 1-2 days at home.

This isn’t our first run in with crazy over cautious medical establishments. DS needed his meningococcal vaxx to start school. He called the pediatrician to make an appointment. His dad had eaten bad sushi a couple days before and clearly had food poisoning— no COVID symptoms except a day of vomiting. His pediatrician wouldn’t even let him make an appointment for the shot.  She told DS to wait until 2 full weeks after his dad’s last symptoms and then call for an appointment.  By then, appointments were scheduled until after school started. (He went to Target for the shot).

So, I posted for two reasons:  one, to make sure my read on the situation (that INOVA went way overboard) is correct and two, to warn people against getting their kids tested (or themselves, if they can’t telework)— at least at the INOVA urgent cares.  They are treating every cough and sniffle as a confirmed case of COVID, no matter what the COVID testing says, even if there is no known exposure and even for vaxxed kids.

If INOVA isn’t going to be reasonable, parents should know what they are getting into when they try to do the responsible thing and get a kid with mild, maybe COVID symptoms, tested. [/quote]
