+1 no one is going to take 5 days unless there is special leave for it.

Plus many people including students are not testing so there's Covid d everywhere anyway.

At this pt it's like flu, RSV etc.

I’ve also had parents email admin because I took “excessive” leave. (It was 4 days for Covid.) Teachers can’t win.

I’m confused how people are expected to differentiate between when their symptoms are improving and the time that they’re positive but not yet ill. If you just take a test one off (say, because a child in your class who you were working closely with comes down with COVID) and it’s positive, but you feel fine, according to the CDC you’re either extremely likely to spread COVID or pretty unlikely. How is this helpful guidance?

They already exposed your kid before they even had symptoms.

Ashish jha sold out to the government a while ago.

No one should be ok with this.

There's a lot to be concerned with regarding covid that doesn't have to do with acute infection.

If someone in our class is coming back before testing negative, we will keep our kids home.

No, I'm not ok with it, but we have no choice.

Ugh yes that's horrible. Basically guaranteed to spread it, including to the toddler's pregnant mom or newborn siblings who are both very high risk

No, but they may not have a choice.

It's fine. After they are feeling better is not a very risky time. People are more contagious before they are feeling sick and while they are getting worse. We can't have people isolate before they get sick or there would be no daycare at all.

If they do that, everyone will be at school with full blown flu, covid etc. Please don't.

I’m ok with it as I am with them returning after flu / rsv etc. they all still have a chance of being contagious 24 hour after fever

Are you comfortable with it? New guidelines say it’s ok with improving symptoms and no fever. Parents know someone in the class has it, but not that it’s a teacher.
