[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]The single symptoms that the health room staff screen for and will result in quarantine are cough, difficulty breathing, new loss of taste or smell, fever ≥100.4°, sore throat, severe Headache, diarrhea or vomiting. Please do not send your children to school with any of these symptoms. This is essential for us to continue to remain in school without quarantine.[/quote]
I didn't have the time to read the whole thread, so hopefully someone already said this. No one has any business sending to school a kid with one of these symptoms, even in normal times. These are symptoms of an actually sick kid. Everyone here is complaining about the quarantine and testing, but in reality, you should be complaining about people sending their sick kids to school, who will get other kids sick. Keep them home! Then there isn't a need for quarantine.[/quote]

100%!!![/quote]

This is idiocy if you don't qualify it for common conditions, chronic conditions or severity. If you really think we should keep a kid home for any cough, headache, etc., please go live in a bubble. If you don't send a kid to school with "one" or "any" of those symptoms, a significant % of school is absent each day and lacks any continuity with extremely harmful learning consequences. [/quote]
