[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mayor Bowser just recommended that daycares close except for those caring for children of essential health/emergency workers [/quote]

Link? I could not find the statement [/quote]

I was watching her live presser and it was in response to the q&as at the end.  She said she was hoping to encourage daycare providers to open up next to hospitals etc.[/quote]

?  Wouldn’t that negate the purpose of school closures?

And yes, of course, daycares should be closed. [/quote]

And what do you think should happen to the millions of people with kids who actually work every day and can’t just stay home without anyone noticing or caring?[/quote]

It literally takes a village... I've seen several moms online step up and offer to watch another kid or two (not the perfect social distancing but better than being in a daycare full of 10+ other kids) for free for those who need care. [/quote]

Is it really better? The 10+ kids have been together every day. Now they’re mixing with new people.

My kids are at an in home daycare so maybe it’s a bit different. They are staying open for now.  All the parents had a chat on Friday- we are fortunate that most of us can telework now. So no one is sick or out there on public transport, etc. and we are willing to except the shared minimal risk of keeping the kids together.

We could deal with two weeks with the kids at home, but let’s be honest, this is going to go in a lot longer than that.[/quote]
