Doc, just found out a Mom from one of the kids at daycare had her test taken Thursday and came back positive. Worth seeking out a test now?

Your child would be a tertiary contact. For some reason it seems like children do not spread COVID well. If your child started to show symptoms I would get the child tested but the odds of it passing from the + mother to her child is high-- but child to child seems to be rare based on current data.

Nobody knows why.

Thanks! What about from child to adult? I guess my worry is Mother - > child - > day care provider (just 1 person) -> our child.

Provider has been very proactive. Doorstep drop-off, kids must chance shoes before entering, etc.

---

Yeah even child to adult appears to be rare. That is based on current data and may prove to not be true with time. The lack of child to child spread and child to parent spread is a very confusing aspect of this virus that is not consistent with most respiratory pathogens.

Now parent to child is well documented and appears to be common.

Thanks again for the insight here!

The mom had pretty mild symptoms. Fatigue, SOB, etc but never got really bad. Her husband and child both tested negative a few days after the Mom was +. Daycare provider and her family all negative. Wild how nobody else got it.

I thought we would have reasonable guidelines, but so far TEA has said nothing meaningful. I want temp checks and school provided hand sanitizer and wipes. We usually have to buy these out of pocket, but you can't even find it half the time now.

Right now many want us just to go back with nothing in place. Some teacher or student will die and there will be lawsuits.


And some changes in the teacher evaluation system that would not require us to be constantly at student desks giving direct assistance.

I plan on wearing a mask and a face shield. Hopefully that will be enough.

Not concerned about the kids, at all. I do worry about you and other like teachers and administrators.

How would you feel about at risk teachers teaching remotely with younger teachers aids in the classroom? At least for some subjects. Don't know how feasible that is in most districts.

To add to that, I would rather see districts double up at risk teachers with low risk in class as you suggested, that would be well spent money vs. all the other waste fullness going on. If we are going to spend money, spend it for real solutions instead of paying for people not to work and bankrupting small buisnesses.
