Here’s my personal predicament, my dd has been back at school one week and this weekend she complained of a sore throat and had a runny nose , she has no temp , no cough and no loss of smell . I’ve kept her off of school because I don’t think it’s fair to spread it around.
There are no covid tests available in our area at the moment and when you do finally get one the results are taking a long time to come back . My dh doesn’t have a typical job he only receives ssp if he goes off work and could also be moved to another sight where he will be paid significantly less if this keeps happening and we’ve already isolated for two weeks prior to this because of dd being ill then. My dd has mild asthma and catches all kinds of things during winter every few weeks if my dh keeps calling in and going on ssp we won’t be able to pay our bills and if he is moved in his job to a place where he has less responsibility because he isn’t reliable we will struggle financially for the foreseeable future. So is it unreasonable for me to not test dd when she doesn’t even have the three main symptoms considering the fall out could be huge for my family? The reality is we could potentially loose our house over a cold .
