COVID-19 Outbreak Information Updates (Reboot) [over 150.000,000 US cases (est.), 6,422,520 US hospitilizations, 1,148,691 US deaths.]
Parents being dishonest about their kid having Covid was/is just keeping with the status quo. Parents have always sent their kids to school knowing they're sick. Have a fever, vomiting, diarrhea, hacking cough, lethargic; doesn't matter. Many parents count on the school to be their daycare while they work, and don't have viable backup plans for a sick kid. Or they just don't want to be bothered. So it's the school's problem and all the people the kids may infect.
