Instead mask mandates for adults and even older children have fallen away, but toddlers and preschoolers, they got a tiny break before the mask mandate came back. WTAF. I truly despise the policymakers that okayed this.


Hospitalization rates are low. Infection/transmission rates are not. Hence all the pre-schoolers ordered into quarantine.

Why not?



Because I don’t want to deal with the hassle if it’s positive. Don’t test, don’t tell us my motto


Hassle with what?


Whole daycare class gets stuck with a 10 day quarantine if there’s a positive test at our school. It’s not sustainable for working parents. Not to mention disruptive for kids. And totally unnecessary. Therefore, no test, no positive, no quarantine!


Thanks for letting us know you’re trash.


DP look you can hurl insults all you want but there are a lot of parents who think this way privately. My friend got COVID and her kids may have to quarantine for 20 days or more because she cannot isolate from her kids or spouse (no space in the house) and their quarantine starts from her last exposure to them. If her husband subsequently gets it from her but the kids do not then the clock starts again. She is very worried about losing her job as they have already missed a lot of work because the kids get colds all the time. Nanny would be tough for them logistically since they both work from home. Thankfully they have a lot of financial support but this is barely tenable for them and totally untenable for most families. Families with young children are really struggling and it's sad that nobody seems to care, all we get are insults. FU.

Our preschool is requiring PCR or rapid test before returning tomorrow AM.

Don’t send your kids in if they have it. All they will do is get other families sick. Don’t be a d#ck.

They aren’t sending in sick children, my friend.

I’d love to see how a two-year-old gets a Covid test.


It happens every day, all over the country.

Because they’re selfish and allergic to inconvenience.

Many 2 year olds get covid tests. Where have you been all this time?

What a selfish ass you are. Now it will spread to the teachers and you'll have to quarantine anyway.

You know the actually case number is much higher. Very few of at home positive tests are reported.

Sis, cases are crazy right now. Wear the mask if you don't want to have to be out for quarantines and sicknesses. Geez.


What do they do during meals and naps? Are the kids 6+ feet distanced at all times?

I’m still continually surprised by how many smart petiole think this in and off masking (mostly cloth) is effective in a daycare setting. Shrug.

Don’t be dense PP. I’m not keeping my kids home from school, I’m not staying home myself and we’re no longer masking.


What does this topic have to do with you not staying home? It’s about preschool.


She's dumb. But yet she procreated.

Then why didn't the Mayor re-up the Public Emergency?


Because it’s not emergency to require masks. It’s a minor change.
