[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At an MCPS sports orientation last night, the athletic director said Covid diagnosis required 5 days off followed by 5 days masked.[/quote]

That is ridiculous.  And bad public health policy.  What science are they basing that policy on?

No good reason to require 5 days off and then 5 days masked.

That is exactly why people just simply won’t test.  If you don’t test, you don’t get the Covid diagnosis and can just go on assuming it’s a cold.  [/quote]

Don’t be that person. [/quote]

What person?

Fever free for 24 hours and the kid can go back to school.  Why would we have a different rule for Covid versus the flu at this point?[/quote]

I interpreted it as don’t be a person that unnecessarily keeps your kids out of school because of the irrational fears of a small number of people with health anxiety.[/quote]

You mean because one parent has serious health issues.  You clearly don’t get the difference between documented medical issues and mental health issues.  A simple cold is no big deal to you.  A simple cold lasts weeks for me and usually needs multiple rounds of antibiotics and steroids.   [/quote]

OK- so what did you do before covid? Because we’re all going to do that.[/quote]

No, “we” all are not, and you sound like a middle school bully with this nonsense.

I’m sorry PP. We are in the same boat and it sucks. Learning who is and is not a douchebag has been unpleasant at best.[/quote]

Your definition of douchebag is ‘someone who doesn’t do what you want them to do’.

No, sorry, it doesn’t work that way.

You are the bully expecting everyone to change their behavior to cater to your needs.  GTFOH[/quote]

Except they aren’t even her *needs.* They are her desires, driven just as much by her own anxiety as any legitimate health issue that she may have.[/quote]
