[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with you OP. We were just a close contact and I kept both my kids ages 3 and 10 months home from daycare for the full 10 days and tested negative 3x[/quote]
how nice you are able to do so.[/quote]

DP, but of course keeping your kids home is inconvenient.  But that’s something all of us have to deal with sometimes, it’s part of having kids.  If your claiming you or others would be “unable to do so” - what would you do if the kid actually had Covid? Or rsv or the flu or anything else?  You’d keep them home, of course.  So the issue isn’t that you’re unable, it’s that you don’t want to bother and you don’t view it as your responsibility to help limit the spread.[/quote]

NP, but you're very privileged if you think staying home with a sick kid is the same as staying home for 10 days on the CHANCE your kid has covid.[/quote]

Also, there is most certainly a chance OP’s kid has Covid, and yet she does not feel compelled to keep HER kid home…[/quote]

Yes, and Kamala Harris and I both have a chance of becoming US President, because we’re both US citizens over age 35, so the odds are pretty much the same for both of us.[/quote]

I don’t think you paid attention to the details in OP’s post.[/quote]

I don’t you understood my point. The details are pretty damn important here. Friend’s kid has substantially higher odds of contracting Covid from prolonged maskless indoor interaction with a known Covid positive person than OP’s kid does from interacting outdoors with friend’s kid. The situations are not at all comparable, and the people saying OP do d exactly the same thing as her friend haven’t learned much about Covid transmission. Since friend’s kid tested negative, it was okay to attend daycare today, but they’re still early in the incubation period, so child should be tested again.[/quote]
