re: Covid rules for exposed kids in school make no sense

This is absurd. CDC guidelines tell us on the discharge paper to continue isolation until :
3 days have passed since recovery (let’s say that’s the 1-5)
At least ten days have passed since patients first positive test
That’s correct.

Where the hell is the 14 days past initial quarantine coming from ?!?!
Well anyone who sees your wife in that 10-day period starts or restarts their 14 day clock.

All you needed to say. The people making the decisions have no idea what they are doing. They are too proud to admit and a lot of people are too fragile to hear it. So we continue on with this charade.

We dealt with this same stupid shite.
My 12 year old daughter tested positive. Her return to school date was 4 days earlier than my two boys and they never got tested.
We are literally living in a fricking clown world.
ETA: I forgot this gem. I was working remotely during the time so when I lost my sense of taste and smell it didn't really matter because I was staying home anyway.
However, my employer wanted me to get tested. I talked to someone from the health department and if I had a positive test my whole family had to extend their quarantine 14 days INCLUDING MY DAUGHTER WHO TESTED POSITIVE FIVE DAYS EARLIER.
I told them to frick off.

My kids... well apparently they are supposed to quarantine another 14 days after my wife’s quarantine ended. This basically keeps them out of school until Feb.
But I thought it was 10 days after first exposure, provided a negative test 7 days after exposure...
Are you in public school? If so I think you are getting bad dates.

This must have been the most non contagious case of Covid ever. I was all up in that shite and tested negative. My kids are negative. Everyone we were with on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day are negative. And no clue where she got it from.

There are reasons for this. But no one wants to hear them

In your specific situation, it sucks, of course, but the rules are made for the masses, unfortunately.
My wife and I were relieved when our kids tested positive, which is ridiculous on the surface, but understandable given the way the rules are written. We're dealing with a diocesan school as well, FWIW. They haven't adopted the CDC's less stringent 10/7 day contact quarantine yet either.

But many independent and employers are just winging it despite CDC guidelines

Oh I know. I just can't fathom why they would tack on additional quarantine time onto someone who already tested positive because I tested positive.
Ridiculous.

Which part of all of this makes sense?

I understand the reasoning behind it. We thought that particular part of the situation was funny.

That part is ridiculous, no doubt. They'll say it's because they don't know if you can catch it again, but that's 99.999999% horseshite.

Seems like common sense to me. The daughter’s infection period is known, while the boys’ is unknown, thus the daughter can return to school first and the boys must quarantine longer just in case the daughter gave it to the boys. Pretty simple logic.

That’s because the school assumes they were in contact the entire time. Explain to them that they broke off any contact 5 days prior to the end of your wife’s quarantine and you should be fine.
This. Follow the close contact protocol and don’t have your kids cross the close contact threshold and then that’s when the clock starts. I believe the numbers have been adjusted to 7 days with negative test and 10 days with no test.

Yea you go tell my wife she can’t be around our kids for longer than 15 minutes after spending 5 days in the hospital away from them.

Damn you be stacked in the arse with the way you so easily move those goal posts.

All of the rules are garbage. All of them. People with no medical background are making up the rules as they go with no one keeping them in check.

Wife positive Monday. Me yesterday. If kids are positive it speeds this up. But I feel so weird about it

I don’t make the rules. I just remind staff and providers of them at my hospital when they try to take patients out of isolation too soon.
Just going by the protocols we have where I work at
They base those from CDC.

Kids at school shouldn’t be quarantining at all. The regular flu is more deadly to them
