Good or bad, what the poster posted is a very common response from medical personnel when they are unsure of what is going on.Yes, blanket medical advice is always a good idea.

In a lot of ways I think times have just changed (for the better IMO). I had to be damn near dying to be kept home or meet the school criteria of puking or whatever (used that to my advantage once in second grade to watch an ISU NCAA tourney game). Now days they are more strict of no fever for 24 hours and whatnot.
Well and this is daycare still vs school. I feel daycare is more strict on exclusions.
Agreed, that does make more sense then. Schools don't check temps much and a lot of the times the kids can make it through half the day and by then, the school figures the day will be done by the time the parent picks them up so just let them rest is the general course.Well and this is daycare still vs school.

I didn’t have time to look up heart disease until now so I waited to double check myself before commenting, but do you suspect that men make up most of the majority of these studies since they are the most likely to suffer from them? Massive heart attacks are 70-89% (wide number that the info reports) occurring with men. Also, men are considered 4x as likely to be an alcoholic than women.
So are some of these studies just trying to help the greatest amount of people and not being sexist in their studies?
Our school/daycare tries its best, but we have notices for RSV, COVID, and influenza on the classroom door right now.
Seems totally impossible to avoid at this point.
I don't want to know how many days @ChrisMWilliams would have used if he had to track them.Agreed, that does make more sense then.

I would say I strained my groin last night but I am married so we all know that isn't possible.My quad is sore today - Am I am faking it, is in in my head or is it real pain?
I need advice from the experts on this.

I saw over the weekend like a third of eastern iowa schools are missing 10% or more of students due to illness. Last winter was especially brutal being the first one back since lockdowns, so all those pent up viruses went crazy. I suspect more of the same this year. I usually get one cold each winter, but my kids have already brought home two this fall.
It's real, probably when you ticked off the Mrs. and she missed on her groin kick and hit your thigh. You should be happy for that pain and not what could have been.My quad is sore today - Am I am faking it, is in in my head or is it real pain?

Wife's school had to report because they broke the 10%. Thought she said they were 15%.I saw over the weekend like a third of eastern iowa schools are missing 10% or more of students due to illness.

The bolded part about women does make it difficult, you would have to agree? Throw in the typical agreeable study participants and you may slam the brakes on many studies. I think of the men and women I know, and ones who have been able to participate in human trials, and men definitely are and have been willing to take the chance more often. Should a drug that can be helpful to men be put on the backburner and held back due to not enough women willing to participate in the study? My thoughts are if you have something that shows promise, then run the studies when you can, say it helps these people and then try to line up the areas of the people that you couldn't at first.No. See the female viagra study. In what world do you test that primarily on men? It wasn't until 1993 that policy enforced inclusion of women into trials. There's some great articles if you search medical studies + women.
It comes back to thinking men are sort of the default patient + not wanting to deal with the complexity of women's hormones. Do you include only at certain times during cycle? What about women in perimenopause or menopause? Pregnant? (No), postpartum? It does make it more difficult....however, a clinical trial should be representative of the population it will be used on.
The 3rd piece is women are less likely to want to participate in human trials meaning you need to do better at the animal level and figure out a better way to compensate or reduce risk for human trials.
