Why would you want sickness to spread at schools? This will get kids sick, it will get their teachers sick, kids will take it home to parents and get them sick. What’s the impact to education but also to the wider workforce and productivity?

    There are parents with autoimmune diseases you dense motherfucker.

    Sending kids to school sick gets other kids sick which puts other members of the community at risk of getting sick. Some of those community members have cancer and are undergoing chemo, or are on steroids to treat other conditions and have lowered immune systems.

    Your lack of critical thinking and empathy are showing.

      Firstly auto immune disease is not relevant at all.

      Secondly sickness is not a black and white issue. I can infect people with a sickness before I know I’m sick this happened during covid. Asking every kid who feels even the slightest bit sick does not stop sickness spreading through the community. These people with glass immune systems that you describe are at risk regardless of this government suggestion. Maybe you should think critically about this because you taking the most extreme cases and trying to apply it to an entire country.

      No one is saying send kids with mesels or chicken pox to school. Only that kids taking time of school for sickness has doubled in the past year and has been rising since covid. It’s time to consider that covid is over and we should return to normal health guidelines not paranoid covid guidelines. A child shouldn’t miss and entire day of school because they had a sniffly nose and felt 95% that day.
