Why should the baby be tested? He’s not symptomatic. I would not be bringing him out to be tested. Because every time someone new in the house is positive, everyone else who was negative also needs to be retested. He would be considered asymptomatic if he came back positive. It is important for their pediatrician to know because no one knows the long term effects on infants and young children I planned to call our pediatrician Monday, so I'll verify if they want him tested. Ugh, I hate this all.

Ugh, I hate this all. Asking the Ped is always the best bet. Sorry for this stress I know our doctor is concerned about lack of knowledge of long term effects of both symptomatic and asymptomatic positives in children and if having that test (whether positive or negative) is helpful to us or other in the future...

Us as well. Ours had us test both quarantined children because we have no idea what they will find this can cause and they want the knowledge that they were positive or negative, symptoms or not

So who is currently fighting this thing in self or family? How are you doing? I cant send stuff, but I can listen and pray, which isnt enough of course. My 93 year old grandpa was diagnosed the weekend before Christmas. I video chatted with him briefly today. Still lots of coughing and looks like he lost weight. It’s very hard getting info out of my mother so I’m not sure what his covid baseline is. He spent under 24 hours in the hospital and they found 3 pulmonary embolisms. Of course my mom and her husband have symptoms now. They take limited precautions and were dragging Grandpa out and about which is probably how they caught it....is getting a drink at the Legion, a basement bar with no windows where people are allowed to smoke, really that important?

It’s so pediatrician dependent. Ours doesn’t test unless they become symptomatic. They test right in their office. They want people in the office only if absolutely necessary. They also are doing a lot more in office in order to avoid trips to urgent cares and ers.

We were told to go to urgent care or the state run site (ha... ha... never do a state run site if you can avoid it)

It will become a standard health question going forward due to the permanent changes to physiology in veins and organs.

If it’s not going to change your quarantine time or your management, I would not take an infant out to get tested. The pediatrician will know that he was in a positive house. If you would feel better getting him tested, then by all means. This is just my opinion. 100%. Your opinion is the only one that makes sense to me. Our pediatrician says the same. If the whole house is positive then baby is too. I would call the pediatrician tomorrow or Monday.

What? You’re all sick despite all of us yelling at you to stay home? My brothers and I are livid. Contact would be very limited with her if my grandfather didn’t live with her.

Would you believe me if i said it is possible the baby IS negative? It happens. More often than you would think. We don’t know why 🤷🏼♀️

100% to the lack of clear and concise guidance this far into a pandemic that has doctors and people trying to do a best guess on the best way to handle these things rather than an actual standard practice Everyone can follow and refer to 🤦🏻♀️

We haven't been living under rocks. Wanting to call a pedi before carting an infant out to an uncomfortable (at best) test in the midst of high cases doesn't change that. (My frustration is not with you, I'm aggressively agreeing lol) The random shit I call my pediatrician for still. This would be on the more normal side of the list

Oh, I definitely will not subject this baby to test unless my pediatrician tells me to.
And yes, being this far in without easy to understand, consistent across the board, policies and requirements is confusing and frustrating. I shouldn't have been so confused about how the isolation and quarantine timelines work.
Contact tracers called and didn't even explain it. They just said "make sure she finishes out her isolation, k? Bye" about both girls. Ok then, thanksssss.

PDQ An indoor playground/bounce house around here held this awesome super spreader event yesterday. I can see two masks in this picture. And so many people on Facebook are in support of them. I fucking hate it here.

Yup. UC gave us different guidance on isolation and quarantine than cmb just did. I just, I don't get it. How do we not just have a clear cut "stay the fuck home for this long" and we all just know and follow it by now?

nelzie, that picture alone gives me anxiety. Dear gods. I just don't understand. 90% of the comments on Facebook about this are: "thank you for letting these kids live normal lives" "your business is essential thanks for staying open and not requiring masks" "thanks for standing up for what's right in a country of people willing to give up their constitutional freedoms" "Thanks for having the brains to provide good healthy fun for the kids!" "There are plenty of other places for the mask believers to wear their muzzles" "Its been 9 months, if it were real all the no mask wearers would be wiped out by now" I just can't.

And the company that threw that super spreader kids party (and these kids here go back to in person school on Monday by the way) had this to say about it: "You can't please everyone!" Fucking rage.

nelzie oh, I am all up in that Facebook post 😂😂 did you see they closed for inclement weather earlier this week too? So that's dangerous but a global pandemic is not 🤦♀️ ETA: oh dang the post has been deleted. What a shame since trolling COVID deniers is one of my favorite pastimes.

Lol, I think they have been deleting a lot of the posts. I first saw about it on the dsm reddit page so I missed a lot of the posts. There's still a lot on the "event" though. Apparently kcci is working on a story about it. And yeah, I saw they closed for the snow the other day. They are the worst. I already hated them before this so I shouldn't be surprised but still. Literally not even a single precaution taken.

I make it a point to never travel to that suburb if I can avoid it 😂🤪

UC gave us different guidance on isolation and quarantine than cmb just did. I just, I don't get it. How do we not just have a clear cut "stay the fuck home for this long" and we all just know and follow it by now? I’m not surprised. It’s complicated if you don’t deal with it day in and day out. Tracers are swamped and have to adhere to an extremely strict script. You CANNOT deviate. As much as you want to or tailor for the situation. A few weeks ago, our county health commissioner got on and was like “look, the quarantine guidelines confuse everyone. If there is a positive in the house, the rest of your quarantine countdown periods don’t even begin until their isolation is complete. You have to quarantine for their entire isolation and then the additional time. So [at the time], that’s 24 days minimum for a parent of an asymptomatic child.” Her frustration at the fact that this isn’t being made clear or is just so messy to understand was very obvious and eye opening as to why this is still such a mess And the state specific guidance is so vague because it comes from a certain somebody’s office and we’re left cleaning up the mess, waiting weeks for answers, and by the time we get those answers, he’s changed to something else and the answers we originally seeked are no longer valid. LSS, too many hands that aren’t connected in one pot trying to give answers to those who need to clean up the mess and had no say in the making of the guidance 🤬🤬🤬

We had to go there yesterday because for some reason my Target wasn't allowing drive up and I was not happy.
