In the same situation. I’m asking my parents to fly down from northern CA (we live in San Diego) just in case. Nervous that daycares will start closing but even if they don’t, it would be nice to have the help and option to take my son out of daycare...
Do it. We all have a responsibility to flatten the curve!

Update: daycare closed. So question resolved.
Same here. Closed for the next 2 weeks. Future tbd.

And ask family to watch him before he’s exposed and is a risk to my parents and me. Anyone thinking along these lines? I have to keep working...
Do it.
If nothing happens, you’ll feel like your precautions worked. If you don’t and someone gets sick, you’ll feel like you should have pulled them out. Kids are carriers but don’t seem to get sick themselves.
Where do you live? I personally have started thinking the same thing... I live in TX, we’re starting to have cases pop up, but nothing like Seattle/NYC/CA.... if you’re there, I’d seriously consider it if you can swing it.

I live in GA...and same. Wondering if it’s time to act before it’s too widespread here.
I‘m in Switzerland, exactly same situation. I pulled her out end of last week

Wishing you all the best.
Do the grandparents live with you? If not, safest thing to do is have your children stay away from the grandparents for the time being.

Agree, but I have no alternatives for childcare other than grandparents right now, and have to continue working for another few weeks at least. Hoping that by pulling him out sooner before the virus is too widespread, he won’t catch it and won’t be a risk to any of us.
