My full time kindergartener distance learner has asthma. Its something that he has always dealt with. He was totally fine yesterday. Got a text from his mom last night at 12:15 letting me know that before bed he said he had a sore throat... and at 11:45 woke up and could barely breathe. We are hoping is is just the asthma. I'm scared for this 5 year old little boy. He's never had a rapid flare up like this. He had 4 nebulizer treatments between 11:45pm and 6am. We have had him since he was an infant. I've become extremely bonded with him through his first year of actual school considering that I am his distance teacher. This feels like a bad dream. I'm trying not to bug his mom now, but we will see how he is doing soon and I will update. His mom works in the COVID unit, unfortunately. But had never had a breach in PPE and goes home and changes and showers before pickup every day. She is one of our sweetest DCPs we have ever had. I hope he is okay. They are taking him to get tested today and if his breathing doesn't get better, may be bringing him in to be monitored. We have 4 families out total awaiting test results. It really bothers me that licensing says we aren't allowed to close down or make any announcements about people awaiting test results until we receive a positive result. I'm scared.

North Dakota just recorded the highest mortality rate in the world. This is scary. Wear your masks. Don't have large Thanksgiving gatherings. And for f*** sake, stop bringing the current/future president up right now. Doesn't even matter.

Oh no I hope your little guy recovers from whatever is going on with him! Momma must be crazy worried.

I don't understand something. The numbers are far worse than they've been since this began, right? Then why are we not going back to what the government was doing then and get the numbers to slow down again?
I'm sure there must be a good reason? Keep pushing back until there is a reliable, safe vaccine. It won't last forever but it takes more patience and time.

There is no immunity. Herd immunity will stop the virus from spreading because it will kill everyone. There is no one who is immune

with a 99% survival rate.

I can't even with this BS.

[VictoryCare]

Its only a 99% survival rate if there is not a surge in the infections rates and an influx of those infections in the hospitals, when that happens there is not enough staff to take care of the influx, therefore the mortality rate goes up, and you better believe it, its happening right now all over the world, open your eyes, turn on the news, get your head out of the sand, smh

[VictoryCare]

Tell your 99% survival rate to the more than a quarter of a million people who have died, if that is BS to you, than you definitely need a reality check

[VictoryCare]

Survival rate has nothing to do with immunity....meaning, just because you survived does NOT make you immune to the infection or to its mortality rate

I’m basing my info off what the CDC says.
I’m sure the info varies in all areas depending on the number of cases but they say;

“The US Center for Disease Control (CDC) has released an update to their research on the fatality rate associated with COVID-19. The CDC first posted this data on May 20, 2020, with the understanding that the parameter values would be updated and augmented over time.

This update, dated September 10th, is based on data received by CDC through August 8, 2020.

CDC COVID-19 Survival Rates

Age 0-19 — 99.997%
Age 20-49 — 99.98%
Age 50-69 — 99.5%
Age 70+ — 94.6%“

I am curious. You have been a Member here over 2 years. Yet you haven't posted anything about the childcare industry. In fact, all your posts/comments (you haven't started any threads) are on the venting thread and they are all COVID related.

Are you even IN this industry?

[VictoryCare]

Yeah, your right, you caught me, I have been a member for 2 years and waited two years, under the guise that I am a Daycare owner/provider just so I could finally come on here and get on a thread that was made specifically for venting, and talk about the facts of covid, just as a ploy

So do you have a family child care or do you own/work for a center?

Hold up...have the Russians invaded here too...!?

[VictoryCare]

Yes, I own a Family Daycare, right now Covid IS daycare

[VictoryCare]

Most things are Covid right now, and if you had read my posts you would have read the steps I am taking in my Family Daycare to try and help prevent the spread of Covid, that is in the daycares and everything else. Are most on this thread NOT talking about Covid?

[Annalee]

???uhmmmm, nope! I still have some good thing going on in family daycare, covid simply throws in some kinks to deal with.
