'Don't keep people home': Govt to give public health advice around sending sick children to school - Seymour - Lemmy NZ

Why would you want sickness to spread at schools? This will get kids sick, it will get their teachers sick, kids will take it home to parents and get them sick. What’s the impact to education but also to the wider workforce and productivity?

Most sickness isn’t that bad. You can go to school with a runny nose or a cough. The teachers will build up immunity so they won’t be getting sick every week. Stop bubblewrapping children and trying to hide them from everything.

Its ok to keep you kid home from school if they’re vomiting or have measles but common cold just send them to school. It’s a reasonable take from Seymour.

Please don’t send your sick children to school, I don’t want to catch a disease off the little Petri dishes.
Zip it, dimwit. Humans need exposure to that “petri dish”.

Not anti vax. “Pro-death”, yeah, that’s fine.
No, we don’t. That’s what vaccines are for.
