[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Apparently Massachusetts just said asymptomatic kids with an exposure can attend daycare--no more quarantine for kids without symptoms! So that's progress. Hopefully Maryland and Montgomery county will follow soon.[/quote]

So COVID positive kids, as long as they are asymptomatic, can go to daycare? :shock: [/quote]

Just don’t test and you won’t know they’re positive😁. Who is testing asymptomatic anyway? Just stop [/quote]

I think there is a balance between extreme policies of 10 day classroom shutdowns for exposure and ignoring COVID completely.  If I was in charge, asymptomatic exposure should test on day 5 (and optionally before that), then only test for symptoms otherwise.  For symptoms (exposure or not), either get a PCR when symptoms start then allow the kid to return, or retest 2-3 days later if the test was a rapid (but allow kid in school after a negative rapid).[/quote]

I get what you’re saying, but that’s not consistent with what the local health departments are saying. So as long as they continue their extreme policies, parents are going to have to work around it. And that’s going to mean simply not testing, since the impact of a positive test is so extreme for both your own child and all the other children in their room.

Don't test, don't tell.[/quote]
