When my son was exposed in NY, he got a very official letter from the state telling his exactly how long to quarantine (11:59 pm Friday...). 10K fine for violations. I assume OP got something official from the school or contact tracers so she will not be getting advice from DCUM.

yep. it also could lead to a lawsuit. I might sue over something like that.

lol. Good luck with that.

I’d make it to a trial, so have fun with that!

it could be very easily factually proven by a preponderance of the evidence that an outbreak at the gym was caused by the parents’ recklessness ignoring the quarantine. What do you think contact tracing is for?

Confirming what everyone knew: competitive gymnastics is for lunatics.

I agree, and if I knew you in real life and found out that your daughter broke quarantine, I’d call the gym and tell them.

Out gym would kick your DD off the team if you sent her in. Of course you did the right thing.

Uh no. You can turn positive 14 days after exposure.

Not according to the CDC. They recommend a 7 or 10 day quarantine.

Only because people can’t afford to or won’t stay in for that long. I know people who have turned up positive 14 days after their last exposure to a positive person.

If is a probability function. Most take between 5-10 days, some less than 5 days, some more than 14. I am not sure of the details of the PDF (probability density function), but from memory, something like 90% (or 95%) is at 10 days, 99% is at 14 days, 20% is at 5 days or less.

So many of you are getting this wrong. Test on days 6-7 from suspected exposure. Negative PCR test does overrule quarantine if done along certain guidelines. This is our school's rule and they are very conservative and cautious. The test has to be on day 6 or later and the positive person must have been asymptomatic at the time of contact. If the positive person did not show symptoms within 48 hours of contact, you can test out of quarantine. So really, you are only cutting quarantine short by a few days, but for some, those days can be critical. (Of course, an elementary school gymnastics class probably doesn't fall into that category, but still...).

I honestly think people like your husband should be arrested.

Wow.
It is people like your clueless hubby who are the reason that Covid still exists.

A year later.

You are 1000% in the right here. 👍🏼

People like this do understand. There just entitled and think the rules don't apply to them.

Ugh, THEY'RE. I can spell. I just can't type and autocorrect "helps."

Just follow the CDC guidelines. I'm sorry that you are married to a jerk. Maybe you should connect him with a family member of one of the 450,000 who have died and see what they think.

No. You need to stay isolated for the full amount of time the contact tracer is telling you to be isolated. It used to be 14 days, now it's 10 days. And if you test negative, but then exhibit symptoms, you need to get tested again. The contact tracer should have told OP all of this, I don't know why she's playing dumb. They are very thorough.

NP. Plus one

OP, you are right that your DH is being an idiot, but you yourself need to understand that tests are not magical and are only a snapshot in time. A young teen was exposed (known exposure). Her parents got her tested, she was negative, and they all went to a family event. Several adults got covid and it was traced to the girl. (This was all in the Post a few months back.) You can have Covid and have a negative test, then be seething with virus within hours after that negative test. That is why real and serious quarantining is essential. Of course testing is useful. But sending your kid to an activity like gymnastics after she's been exposed at school? Nope. Quarantine. ALL of you. Do the right thing.

Your DH is acting extremely immature and ill informed, and he's going to teach your daughter the terrible lesson that it's fine for her to do what she wants without regard for rules or other people's health. A virus Does. Not. Care. about your child's competitive gymnastics or you husband's idiocy.

And I agree with a PP who pointed out that yours is a high risk family, between in person schooling and gymnastics. You don't get to have those privileges (and they ARE privileges, not rights) unless your family also is willing to follow the rules.
