I'm sorry, but my kid spends the entire winter with a cough. Daycare is a petri dish. He genuinely coughed (with a few breaks in between colds) from October - February last year.
I'm all for taking him to get tested if he's running a fever, but the cough thing threw me a bit. He's already had 2 this year with no fever or other symptoms.
Am I tripping?
No clue how we'll handle work + looking after him should he have to stay home for a large portion of the winter if he comes down with a cold.

Isn't that the point? Daycares are really only being allowed to stay open because closing them would make it so that many parents couldn't work. It's not a surprise to me that they're being very conservative about trying to keep kids there healthy.
