Opening your windows even on the coldest days for minimum of 15 minutes to air out the house will remove most airborne viruses.
I open my windows in my main area of the daycare daily for 1/2 to an hour each day. Even the nap room gets aired out. My daycare kids hardly get sick, we also try and get as much fresh air as possible.
Great idea! However,my heating company is cheering loudly. Doesn't that get expensive?
Children are great imitators.
So give them something great to imitate.
No, just turn down the thermostat a few degrees, I usually air out the daycare space before the kids arrive, then I slowly raise the heat,as the added bodies warm the house anyway.
We usually have the house at 70 but when the kids are here I turn it down to 68 and it usually goes up a few degrees when the kiddies are running around.
I haven't found the heating bill to be any different.

Awesome! I'm going to try it! I'm all for anything that keeps those germs away!
