I don't recall reading any news reports about a lot of problems of parents with sick kids or kids whose schools or daycare have closed due to the flu. Even last spring, when schools were closing left and right, I honestly can't remember reading or hearing much about that topic. Except for the point that many older kids were just getting together at the mall or wherever, totally circumventing the logic behind school closures and social distancing.

Is this a big problem that we just aren't hearing about? Many, many folks don't have paid sick days and can't afford to be sick or take time off to care for a sick family member.

For those with sick children, how long has it taken till the kids are feeling well enough to go back to school?
