Gregory's Server@luckytran Girls & women received informal training in practical nursing. My Mom in the 1950s was kind of cold & indifferent but if one of us kids got sick we had her attention. Vitals monitored, fluids pushed, favorite foods offered, a bell to ring if we needed her.
I don’t know how working parents today would be able to care for a child with mumps, measles, chickenpox, whooping cough, or diphtheria
@nesmb @luckytran parents take time off or work from home, adminster paracetamol as appropriate, and can still manage fluids and favourite foods. The digital forehead thermometer and pulse oximeter help with monitoring vital signs. But being unable to take time off work *or* school for long enough for proper convalescence is frustrating.(Chickenpox age 2, Covid last year and the year before).
