[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Out of curiosity, I looked up the daycare provider to see if it was accredited. It looks like the state revoked its certificate of compliance last week, likely due to this incident. I couldn't tell from the story, but I'm wondering if the daycare exposure was from an employee (the parent of the unvaccinated kid who was told to quarantine).

Regardless, [b]it's reprehensible that the adult who was advised to quarantine allowed other children to be exposed at the daycare [/b]and at healthcare facilities where the kids sought treatment. Here is the press release from the Philadelphia Health Department.

I totally agree and this is horrifying to me because I have kids in daycare and infants under 1yo don't have the MMR vaccine yet.

That said, daycare workers are not paid enough to stay home for 3 weeks nor do they have that much sick leave. I wish there was some govt backstop measure to pay/reimburse people in these situations, where public health externalities are so important (the cost is focused on the person missing work but the benefits would accrue to so many).[/quote]
But of course lets get a criminal misdemeanor record for breaking QT, that will really help with future employment and day to day life in general.  Do you really think that breaking QT is optional and CDC just counts on people to obey out of the goodness of their hearts?[/quote]
