The problem is many times people can be contagious before they develop severe symptoms but yes, nausea and diarrhea. Good Lord keep that problem away from the general populace.

In the last 24 hours I read about a dude taking his puking child to the movies and one about a birthday party when the siblings are all shitting all over the place. These people are whack.

As a public librarian, I can tell you that it's more than once I have had a child tell me "I'm too sick to go to school, so mommy/daddy brought me here!"

I remember once having a kid come in, spend 3 hours playing around on a number of our public computers, then tell us that he has pinkeye on the way out the door.

You'd think people would know better. They don't.

Someone posted how you should write down things down in order to not forget them and it got thousands of up votes... This sub seems to be more about "obvious things that maybe you should pay more attention to" than it is about actual life pro tips.

Why? If a post in a similar vein is getting as much votes as it does it clearly shows that this post also belongs here. I'm just telling the person that I replied to that this sub isn't exactly what the name suggests it to be. "Basic public guideline" pretty much says it all (and I agree that people should follow it better). The title of this sub is simply misleading.

This made me think of how pretty much everywhere I have worked we only get 40hrs of paid sick time at work. 365 days in a year and only 40hrs of it can you be sick and get paid.Fucking hilarious!

I got 12 hours and Covid immediately wiped it out.

Not just if you sick. Also if your kids and sometimes spouse is sick as well. Those hours go fast.

Welcome to the USA. We care more about profits and war than health care. For about 9 months in 2020, businesses said if you're sick stay home. Now they want you to work regardless. And you can't get day care? Bring your sick little one.

Hell, even with daycare, they tell you to pick up your kid because they think your kid is sick. Lol

Remember when people didn’t want you to get their colds or flus? I do.

50% of America is pay check to pay check with little to no sick leave so of course people work sick

This isn’t about work, but my tip for that is to always say you have diarrhea so your boss won’t pester you about how sick you really are or expect you to see a doctor.

I agree about taking them non essential places, but some people have no choice but to go to work and cant stay home with them

Use your 'sick child days' and keep those kids home when they are ill and infectious. Those days are yours for a reason.

Just took our kid to the family practice a couple weeks back when she was sick, cough/congested low grade fever about 100 deg.

Friggin doctor was all like "I would have sent my kid to school like this. Things have changed since Covid" Like WTF??? This is not some rural backwater town but a well to do suburb..

I get not keeping kids out of school many days, getting germs to build immune system etc but I don't want to be the asshole who sends a coughing, snotting, feverish kid into a classroom of 30 kids and the teacher. That is a real dick move doing that.

I keep mine at home if they have a fever. If it's just snot or a couch but they are fine otherwise are going. Little kids are snotting all over the place like 90% of the time, if I need to keep him home for that he wouldn't go to school at all.

I remember being sick as a kid once and went to the doctors. I had a mild cold with mild symptoms except for my fever. I was getting laughed at because the nurses and doctor thought I was faking it all to get out of school up until one of them finally took my temperature after like half an hour of being there all miserable and then they shut up real quick and started taking me serious cause i had like a 101+ fever going on.

Never went back to that place again. It was a kaiser permanente is all I remember. In my experience just an isolated situation. Ive had kaiser most of my life besides the few years I strictly used miltary benefits and that was the only time and place where i had a bad experience at a kaiser.
