Oh my!
But if they’ll all be treated now & not cycle it back to each, then hopefully they can remain infection free by not catching it in school now??

My dentist says that he's seeing record cases of tonsillitis, because Corona exhausts your immune system, and then the bacteria can basically just take over. Even if you barely had any symptoms at all, you're still vulnerable to secondary infection.

My GP says that bronchitis, bacterial pneumonia, and strep are also very prevalent right now, for the same reason.

Bottom line, just because you survived Corona, doesn't mean that you are in the clear. Keep building your immune system, and be extra careful!

This is true basically after any virus, getting a secondary infection.
My question is on kids who share germs all day in school and are less at risk for covid19, so are moms seeing less infections now?

I was actually just thinking this year we won't have to worry about kids spreading lice in school after their Pesach vacations. This happened a few times (only once to my kids bh but it's been in their classes...)

Well, that's one plague we won't have to worry about. Wink

My kids had bad lice. And our comb was lost. We got a new one and I hope to have bug-free kids by the time school restarts. I’m combing 2-3x a week.
