I want to thank everyone for all the helpful advice. I don’t quite share the negative perception of the public school system that many of you have, although I certainly understand it, but I think it will be in my family’s best interest to take her out of public school for now at least. I spoke to my doctor today and she said that I am medically too fragile to be exposed to coronavirus, and kids can be a vector for it, even though they don’t usually get very sick from it. I am not of the opinion that this is just a hoax, and I think it’s already far more widespread than what we can see from the official numbers. It is unfortunate that the government has not been more prepared - we should have had aggressive testing from day 1 (and free testing - when it comes to a public health issue like this, a bit of socialism is good, since the more this thing spreads, the more it harms the economy and kills people). But it is what it is, and now we have to make the best of it. Stay safe, everyone, and thank for all the advice.
