[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have three kids, one in preschool/daycare, and the older two in a distance learning hub in their school building.  All three will keep going to these places until they’re forced to shut down.  DH and I don’t go anywhere aside from occasional trips to the grocery store, we both work FT, and our kids need childcare.

[b]Daycares don’t drive COVID transmission. [/b] Neither do small groups of older kids, wearing masks, and spaced apart appropriately.[/quote]

I'm sure they don't drive in large numbers, but I know two people who got covid from their kids in day care  earlier this year, so I would like to see local numbers. I'm not alarmist, I'm a parent who needs my day care open, but I want to have a clear and informed view of risk in December, not July. [/quote]

My child was positive but asymptomatic. DH and I caught it from him. We were positive with mild symptoms (now fully recovered). We're both working from home and had no outside contact other than through DS in daycare. [/quote]

I’m sorry but when parents say “ no outside contact other than through DS in daycare” as a way to say to say it’s not the family fault, I immediately become skeptical.  You have met been just in your house for the past eight months.  There are grocery store visits, gas station stops, a friend of yours or cousin or relative has stopped over, a contractor to do plumbing maybe, even a large package delivery.  It doesn’t have to just be daycare.  BTW how many other kids in his class got it? I just don’t believe parents who say they literally have stayed in their homes for the past eight months and never left. Hard to do that with kids and holidays.[/quote]
