Update in post #5- This is why COVID19 is spreading so quickly!
Thank goodness the school is doing the right thing! See my update in post #5....
DS2 chipped his tooth yesterday so we made an appointment today to see the dentist. But before ds2 went to bed last night i noticed he sounded hoarse. So this morning he stayed home from school and we tested him with a rapid test. It was positive. There are 3-4 doctors who are parents at our school and serve on our health advisory committee. One of them gives monthly “health” updates in our school newsletter. She advised that “ “students may return to school once they have been improving in their symptoms for at least 24 hours. Other symptoms that necessitate your child staying home include fever, body aches, unusual fatigue, vomiting and diarrhea.”. When I emailed our principal to find out how soon DS2 could come back to school, he confirmed that based on her guidelines, DS2 could come back tomorrow!! Part of me wants to send him because the school is being so ridiculous. But that doesn’t sit well with me. I registered him to get a drive-though test through our hospital system tomorrow because if he has a false positive, then we will reschedule his dental appointment. I am flabbergasted that a doctor would completely ignore the CDC Guidelines and advise others to do it. I just don’t understand their thinking.
