[quote=Anonymous]My DC was diagnosed with asthma recently and I asked the pulmonologist at Children's National if DC could have lung damage from COVID. He said the increased incidence in pulmonary illnesses (RSV, pneumonia, etc.) are caused by increased virulence of those germs due to something related to the pandemic (I don't remember if he said what exactly), not because of lower lung function or immunity from the people getting sick. He also said the timing of the asthma diagnosis was coincidence and would have happened with or without COVID. No clue if there's research to support that, but a pulmonologist at Children's seems like a reliable source to me. So no, I don't begrudge a teacher with limited leave returning to school. It would be great if they wore a KN95 when they came back, but I also know they were already in the classroom during their most contagiousness, so it is what it is.[/quote]
