Sure enough, closed for two weeks due a positive COVID kid (supposedly on the advice of the County health department). Who the fuck can take 2 weeks off work to stay home and watch their kid? Go back in and boom, another positive Omicron, another 2 weeks closed. If other day cares are doing things this way, our country is going to come to a grinding halt.
Upon speaking with the Tacoma Health Department, it has been determined that there was a positive exposure. The Junior Toddler classroom will be closed to all students who were in attendance on 1/3/2022 or 1/4/2022. The classroom will reopen on Tuesday, January 19th. Our records show that your child was marked here on one of those days.
The health dept suggests that your child gets tested between the 7th-9th. Please update us on any results, if you choose to test. It is not a requirement.

Maybe as parents each of you can volunteer to have all the toddlers in your house for a day. You’ll only miss one day of work.
That way when you get covid the kids will have moved on to the next house the following day under the care of different parents.
The regular workers can get over their omicron and be back in a week.

The Covid finally caught up with my NYC clan members after all their cruises, vacations and nightlife. Fat, COPD BIL went into the hospital for an overnight stay. Niece and her 3 y o got it.
In NY they pay you to stay home and they make your boss play nice. So yeah, it takes a village.A few people feel the rain. Most people just get wet.

I am a privileged dentist, so I will be fine. But you are beyond delusional if think closing day cares for 14 days every time someone comes down with the Omicron will work. Every 14 day closure is $600 in tuition payments down the drain, per kid. Seattle Public School's policy is if an unvacinated person is exposed, they can return after 7 days with negative test, not 14 (all kids here are under 5, so unvaccinated). I don't understand the health department's logic of 14 days.
This isn't the first time day care has been closed during the pandemic. If it happens say, like, twice a year, people can manage. But with Omicron, this WILL happen again, and again, and again. Most Americans with kids under 5 rely on the income of two parents working. We can't keep playing by the same rules.

System has to change, sure.
Those daycare workers probably don't even have health insurance.
They end up with longterm health complications from covid what then? They probably end up homeless.
Maybe "Mericans need to think about health care and livable wages for all and maybe parents need to think about if they really need to be two parent working households.
Maybe we have less things, spend more time raising our own kids...

There are a lot of people in this country---not necessarily on this forum--with none of the above. If they have unpaid FML they can't afford tot take it. And regardless of what the law says. Of course most of those folks, if they have day care, it's unlicensed , nobody's tested, and they're probably dropping their kid off at omicron central.

The 14 days closed rule isn't to protect the daycare workers. They are all vaccinated whether they want to or not. It's to protect the children. But the catch is, the parents don't want this level of protection. If a parent is that scared of Omicron they shouldn't have their kid in any daycare. Goat is right, I just need to find some churchy, home-schooly, unlicensed daycare that doesn't believe in COVID. Ignorance is bliss.

Do grocery stores close for 14 days when a worker comes down with COVID? How about Amazon wharehouses? In a perfect world, we could all live with zero risk of getting COVID at work. That's not the world we live in. And with all due respect to the daycare workers, who wouldn't want two weeks paid time off from a bunch of snot nosed Omicron vectors. Talk about an incentive for parents to never keep their kid home sick or get them tested (just keep that head in the sand). It's the same dilemma we are seeing from public school unions refusing to come to work due to the current surge. I thought we were over this.

I'm still amazed that there was some kind of functioning daycare before anyone could get vaccine protection. Remember at first it was limited to front line emergency responders' kids. My kids were working in the grocery store but those daycare employees were juggling little unmaskable COVID bombs can cleaning up bodily fluids for roughly the same hourly pay.

That’s not a great analogy Snob. I hope you make better arguments at work.
Do you think the daycare has unlimited staff in the wings waiting to fill in?
You’re cool with any warm body off the street looking after your kids (compared to stocking the shelves)?
You’re cool with the daycare running with 1/3 the normal staff (a grocery store can probably do that)?
Are the staff at the grocery store getting covid from the positive cases sitting half-masked in their lap for 6-8hours?
Did these daycare workers take an oath to work that is legally binding?

Like I said, my beef is the 14 days. I am fine with 7 and a negative test. That's what Seattle Public Schools does. I'm still waiting to hear back from Tacoma health department on why the fuck we aren't doing the same thing as Seattle. So for instance, my friend's kid (age 4) does pre-school through the public schools (still has to pay) and I assume in this situation, would only be closed for 7. But my kid (also 4) at the private pre-school has to wait out 14 days, because the health department is telling them this. This makes no sense.

Chicago Public Schools going online only. Apparently it’s a fucking junk show between the Union and Mayor Lightfoot….”What is past is prologue”…….

How many people here would be OK with their spouse working that gig full time and coming home to you and the rest of your family every night? Doctors and nurses were living in separate places from their families at the worst point but they earn a lot more money to handle such contingencies. Also running legit N95 masks. Those daycare workers are rocking surgical masks..

Wife's been flu like for a week or so and just tested positive. Got prescribed an inhaler, prednisone and 5 day quarantine. I had flu like symptoms for 24 hrs last week so guess I'm good.

So my two hour delayed Zoom meeting with the Doc basically ended with self-monitor and don’t call back unless you’re dying……Sweet. My symptoms are as follows:
Body Ache. Especially lower back/ shoulders
Sinus. My nose is running like a goddamn faucet.
Malaise/ fatigue.
No fever, no cough.
I’ll wait till tomorrow , then tak another at home test, followed by a PCR, if I can find one. Stay safe Maggots.What we have here is an intelligence failure. You may be familiar with staring directly at that when shaving. .

Honest question…. What’s the point of testing again? At this stage you have all the omicron symptoms, and all the science says you likely have it, and we’ll all likely get this one… and your doctor says stay home and monitor so why test???
