They are only 4 and 6. The 4 yo has an ear infection,so DIL took her to the doc this morning. They are testing all kids in the parking lot before they can go in,then they have to wait 20 minutes for results. Sure enough,she tested positive,so my DIL had to go pick up the 6 yo at daycare and she tested positive too. My son and DIL get tested at 5 o`clock. The girls do not have symptoms so far.
 

That’s sad to hear @Mrs Robinson it’s the belief here in Aust that children don’t get Covid

Are schools still open ? We went into total lockdown for months including schools
 

So far they have no symptoms. And no,we are on distance learning-no school at all. The girls do go to a daycare as my DIL works there. Now I`m guessing the daycare will have to close.

I think at first they thought that kids don`t get it,but now they know they do. Just not as easily,apparently.
 
I should add that they are most worried about my DIL. She is currently battling MRSA and has just finished a round of something like 8 antibiotics. She is scheduled for a CT scan next week to see if they can figure out what`s going on. They said that this puts her at very high risk because with all the antibiotics,her immune system is very compromised. Ugh.
 
What a terrible time for your family, too close for comfort. I also thought children were not affected, just goes to show how wrong you can be, so much disinformation around. Best wishes to you all.
 
I know your concern is for the little girls right now but I have to ask - is your DIL positive? What contact tracing is available to track down the source of the infection? It is possible that the daycare has more COVID cases.
 
My son and DIL were tested late this afternoon. Results will be in in 48-72 hours. The girls had rapid testing done. I`m hoping maybe they were false positives?

I am sure they will do contact tracing if my son and /or DIL test postive. My son works at an auto dealership and is in contact with many,many people daily. His dealership was closed down for two weeks a few months ago due to so many cases. So we`ll see. The daycare is a small home daycare so there will not be that many people involved. My DIL has actually been off for two weeks due to the MRSA,but my 6 yo granddaughter was still going there for half a day because they do their schoolwork online from there.

My 17 month old grand-nephew is very ill with covid. Spent a couple days in hospital and was sent home but requires breathing treatments 3-4X/day, sleeps a lot and isn't taking much food. The hospital said he's be safer at home. ..?
 
Praying for all the little ones and their frightened parents and grandparents. How awful.

I'm counting the days until we're (mainly) all vaccinated.
 

Mrs. Robinson,​

I wonder if your daughter in law could get a vaccine considering she must care for the children. I think in such cases the caregiver should be a priority for the vaccine. I doubt the children will get very sick, but clearly, there is reason to be concerned about daughter in law.
 
While I was in the hospital, I asked the nurse what age was the youngest person here in the COVID Ward? She told me that she believed it was around 63, 64 or 65.

Maybe this news will lessen your worries.
 
Our 53 year old son tested positive last week. One day of feeling not good, slight cough,one day of feeling god awful high temp, chills, hallucinating, and then that was it. 20 year old granddaughter tested positive last fall. She had a sore throat, lost taste and smell for about 4 days and then was fine
 
I really hope all is well for your family......

I question the tests some use for the rapid results....
My SIL's grandmother as tested positive 4 times in march/ may/ august and October ..... all tests w/ rapid results ...when she was going in for healthcare visits and procedures.
She has never become sick and she is 76 many health issues.
