That's ridiculous. During the crisis times of covid, the incidences of other communicable disease dropped significantly. Plus, to be frank, this is just an idiotic suggestion with zero reasons to think there's some set number of days people are sick. Before having kids in daycare I was rarely sick. I had a child not in daycare and was never sick. Now we're sick all the time, which wouldn't happen if my wife could stay home with them or we didn't have kids.
- nradov 2y agoThat's ridiculous. The interventions put in place during the crisis times of COVID were obviously unsustainable. When restrictions were lifted, the incidence of all other types of respiratory viruses spiked up. I've had kids in daycare as well. Occasionally you get the sniffles. So what.
- Arnt 2y agoThe story describes something that cut the average number of sick days by around 30%. Is 30% significant, in your opinion?
