I'm trying to decide whether to take my 6yo out of school tomorrow. She has no underlying health conditions and there are no confirmed cases at her school (though I'm sure there must be some). We're ensuring we don't come into contact with any people at risk of further complications from catching C19. My husband and I work from home so could deal with her being at home with some juggling of time.
So far, my 'argument' for taking her out revolves around maternal instinct to protect her for getting an unknown disease.
But can anyone share scientific reasons? Or if you've done research yourself and found nothing, other than your own gut instinct too, let me know.
Eg. I've read Covid-19 could have long-term consequences for those who catch it, even mildly. But there is no data on this, just hypotheticals. I don't want to be in a situation where I go along with government recs, them my daughter gets it from being at school then 6 months down the line, we learn most or all people who got it have harmed their lungs.
Basically, I'm wavering and need some solid scientific reasons why taking my daughter out of school now will ensure her long term safety.
Thanks!
