[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I really don’t understand what you think demonizes childcare workers in the OP. All I said was childcare centers and prek settings don’t have an (financial) incentive to push for changes to quarantine policies because they aren’t negatively impacted by kids getting pushed into unnecessarily long quarantines. What is incorrect or unfair about that?[/quote]

Sure they are, they lose business when they can't provide child care[/quote]

Sure… how many child care centers are having parents drop out over quarantine/isolation requirements? As far as I can tell, nearly all are following the lead from the county and state health departments. So if you need child care, which if you’re paying a bunch of money, you probably do, then you’re stuck.[/quote]

My kid’s preschool tried to move to a 7-day quarantine with a negative test, to align with the employee policy, but the county made vague threats, causing the preschool to quickly back down. While they've lobbied the county for other changes to child care policy, they didn't lobby for changes to the quarantine policy.[/quote]

MoCo? I am starting to hate this county so much.  My DC has had two negative PCRs- at day 4 and day 8, but still has to complete a 14 day quarantine per the county.  They clearly just want to stick it to working families, which really baffles me for all the talk about equity.  [/quote]

Correct- MoCo’s DHHS is the problem.[/quote]

Has the state chimed in on this at all?  Because that seems like a problem too.  I know MoCo can choose to ignore their guidance but I wish someone would show some leadership here.  [/quote]

Yes, and MDH is the other part of the problem. Some counties ignores MDH guidelines, or left policies to providers to decide and implement. MoCo has gone with the strongest interpretation of MDH guidance. We need Hogan to step in.[/quote]
