Category: Biotech and Healthcare

Email: query-bgpg@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: Healthline

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 30 October

Query:

There appears to be a new "Mom Code" growing among some parents
who are encouraging other parents to not get their kids tested
when they show symptoms of COVID-19 so other kids from their

We'd like to run a piece that explains why this is a terrible
idea and can end up making the situation much worse, and
potentially deadly.

I'm looking for pediatricians, COVID experts, and
epidemiologists willing to answer the following questions:

1. What are the potential dangers of a parent intentionally not
getting a sick child tested for COVID?

2. What might motivate a group of parents to agree to this?

3. What are some better possible solutions?

4. Why should parents get their children tested if they suspect
they may have COVID?

5. How can more testing help us to get control of this virus?

6. How do other safety measures (masking, social distancing,
etc.) help us moving forward?

7. What would you say to people who are looking at these
guidelines as a form of punishment instead of life-saving
measures?

8. Is there anything else you think our readers need to know on
this subject?
