Day one of daycare for us falls on Thursday, mostly because my little guy was actually in on Wednesday (he skipped Monday and Tuesday). For the kid who only made it in on Monday, day one of daycare starts on Tuesday.
Isn't it usually about two days before the first symptoms show up? The kid in daycare who tested positive was last there on Wednesday, but everyone who was around him since Monday is heading in for testing.
I get all that. I just needed to make sure because I’ve got on-call shifts at the office in two weeks, and if this comes back positive, those plans are pretty much dead in the water.
He was dealing with some nausea and diarrhea, so the pediatrician wants us to double-check everything before he heads back to preschool. Things have been looking up regarding those symptoms, though. It’s been seven days since his last encounter with a kid who actually tested positive.
My kid is in isolation right now and heads in for testing this Monday. If he tests positive, does that mean I get his 10 days of isolation plus another 10 days for myself? Does the same rule apply to my husband and our other child?
Susan James said:Actually, I don't see it as such a bad thing. It definitely thins out the crowds at churches and shopping malls, which are usually where everyone gathers for the holiday.
In fact, this is a perfect example of why we needed to keep schools open until the very end in all other counties too. It’s really the best way to limit movement within the community. Schools are the only place where you can actually track contacts for isolation orders, allowing you to effectively restrict movement for about 20 different families all at once (not counting the ones already in isolation, since they aren't out spreading it anyway—they're just riding it out at home).
And you really think parents are just going to sit home isolated with their kids? Please. The kid stays home, while the rest of the family goes out and does what they need to do. Especially if it's an older kid—they just get left in front of the TV or the computer, or maybe they're away on vacation.
Just looking over some stats regarding Washington, D.C.
Yesterday alone, because 24 elementary students and four teachers tested positive, along with nine high schoolers and three teachers, we’ve got 477 elementary kids and 164 high schoolers forced into isolation.
Man, 641 kids stuck in quarantine in just one day. Happy Easter to those families, I guess. 😁
So, Glucophage can definitely cause some nausea, but honestly, most people just deal with running to the bathroom or a general stomach ache. I haven't heard of anyone experiencing anything quite like what you're going through.
From what I’ve been reading, towns like suburban Chicago and Naperville won't need those travel permits to move between them anymore. They managed to push it through, starting tomorrow.
So, what happens if my kid gets sick and I have to rush to an ER in Chicago in the middle of the night? Am I going to get slapped with some ridiculous fine? 😲 The local clinic near me just sends everyone straight to the big city hospitals anyway.
Here’s my logic for you. I work in NYC, but I live way out in the suburbs. For the last two weeks, I’ve been working from home—it’s the kind of job that basically allows for it—though we do keep a few people on-site for coverage. Now the company is looking at changing the on-call rotation, and there’s a pretty good chance they’ll drag me back in. I’m curious to see how management actually handles this. Will they just call in the folks who actually live in the city, or will they come after me too? Even though I could easily keep grinding from my couch and my presence isn't strictly vital for the role, anything is possible.
I’m mostly just scrolling through on my iPhone using Twitter. It really started getting on my nerves today. I don't even bother turning on my PC, and trying to use a web browser is a total disaster.
