[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ger your kid vaccinated, and lets all just move on. Our family just had COVID as have most of the families we know in the last 4 months.  Its a minor cold.   Are kids going to start wearing masks full time forever to avoid a cold?[/quote]

Minor cold or not, Covid still means your kid stays home and misses 5-10 school days and I miss work. Or if their teacher gets sick, the kid has a week with the PE teacher as a substitute.

But you’re right, it’s just a minor cold! Who cares???[/quote]

But that's due to the restriction, not the virus.

Hopefully we start treating covid like other illnesses -- stay home if you are sick.[/quote]

People do not. Today at school, in a class of 20, I sent 3 kids home because they were sick.  All within the first 3 hours. I find it highly suspect that these children were fine this morning before school. People send their kids to school sick even now. [/quote]

Agree with pp that it can hit fast.  I wasn’t home this morning, but apparently my dh did not believe my ds when ds said he wasn’t feeling well and just thought he was trying to weasel out of school.  Ds insisted on taking a Covid test and it turned up positive.   He apparently looked fine in the morning, but was miserably sick a couple of hours later and slept all afternoon.  [/quote]

One might have felt ok this morning. The other two were coughing upon arrival. [/quote]

I think people are actually more likely to send mildly sick kids to school right now since they have missed so much school this year (and last, obviously) because of COVID. Each day seems so much more important when you've been out or remote or had no actual teacher 40 days already this year.[/quote]
