Ha. The reality is, here you are parents of a kid...in school, she has a sibling in another school, meanwhile I coach her vball team and another vball team. As a parent, You can't have an inconclusive test. You need a +/-. The dominoes here are scary. Luckily she was negative, but going the other way, that would have pretty much meant the poor Mom that helps me but knows nothing of vball has to run the teams, my kids stay home, my wife can't do surgeries for two weeks at a minimum, which screws up the surgery center schedule and now we have a 9 yr old w CV with 3 exposed people in our house. Even w a giant house, Its a cluster. BTW, the way the schools handle this, her pod of 9 other 3rd graders would be sent home for 2 weeks. They basically keep these younger kids in small pods wo any exposure to the other 3rd graders. Its interesting all the playbooks being run on this.
Thus far, about 5 weeks in, her elementary district has had 1 kid positive out of about 1200. The kids have all since returned. The middle and HS have various hybrid plans.
Btw, I find it to be impossible that my wife hasn't been exposed to or had CV given her close contact w 100s of nurses, surgeons and patients since March. Not many cases in late March or April but plenty since. She's an anesthesiologist and is literally in the face of this all day every day. Thus, shes become quite hardened against woes and worries of teachers and others during CV. I love sending her the thermo image gif of a patient spitting on the OR table when she's tubing a patient.
This is where I love WFH.
