So serious question? How are we supposed to address cold season this year. Let's say someone in your house comes down with a mild sore throat and congestion. Are we supposed to all quarantine for 2 weeks, take kids out of school and get tested? That could put a family out of commission for a month easily for a cold? Just doesn't make sense anymore.
Been meaning to post something along these lines as well. My kids started back to nursery school the Tuesday after Labor Day. That first weekend my son started getting sick and Monday at work I started getting sick. I stayed home with him on Tuesday. Ended up going to go get tested on Wednesday morning ( despite the fact that it was just a gross cold ) because a dumbass coworker had brought COVID into the office the previous week (on a day when I wasn't there) and I didn't want to be "that guy". Son's doc had him get tested as well. We both tested neg but he missed three days of school.
My wife started getting sick yesterday (again just cold symptoms) but because she works in a school they had her stay home today. She had a teledoc appointment this morning about something else and told her to go get tested.
I really don't think running to the rediclinic for a test every time you get the sniffles is the solution. But here we are.
