[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At an MCPS sports orientation last night, the athletic director said Covid diagnosis required 5 days off followed by 5 days masked.[/quote]

That is ridiculous.  And bad public health policy.  What science are they basing that policy on?

No good reason to require 5 days off and then 5 days masked.

That is exactly why people just simply won’t test.  If you don’t test, you don’t get the Covid diagnosis and can just go on assuming it’s a cold.  [/quote]

Don’t be that person. [/quote]

What person?

Fever free for 24 hours and the kid can go back to school.  Why would we have a different rule for Covid versus the flu at this point?[/quote]

I interpreted it as don’t be a person that unnecessarily keeps your kids out of school because of the irrational fears of a small number of people with health anxiety.[/quote]

You mean because one parent has serious health issues.  You clearly don’t get the difference between documented medical issues and mental health issues.  A simple cold is no big deal to you.  A simple cold lasts weeks for me and usually needs multiple rounds of antibiotics and steroids.   [/quote]
