Health officials are sounding the alarm about a group of parents in Utah who are allegedly pledging to not have their children tested for COVID-19 in order to make infection numbers artificially appear lower.

The alleged push to avoid getting kids tested, dubbed the "mom code," is seen in messages shared on Facebook urging parents to keep their child at home if they show COVID-19 symptoms, but to not get tested.

The messages are reportedly being shared among parents in Utah's Davis School District, which oversees more than 73,000 students in Davis County, Utah.

"If there is a quarantine with a sports team or with any of the classrooms, they are encouraging each other not to have their children tested," said Genevra Prothero, a parent in the school district, who fears community spread if the "mom code" is encouraged. "This is a time where we need to really focus on tracing the virus so we can be able to stop the spread."

3. Someone should be monitoring exactly who the instigators of this nonsense are.

And bring a massive lawsuit against them for child endangerment.

4. Well, when Repubs say Dems use case numbers to make Trump look bad, that just means...

... that Republicans are manipulating case numbers to make Trump look good. The usual Republican projection.

Although... how 220,000 deaths, and rising, can make him look good is only something understood in the opposite-world of Republicans.

5. The Shitty Mom code.

If I found out my kid(s) got sick because other parents were consciously and purposely avoiding getting their kids tested when they knew they were sick, I would lose it. I would sue the shit out of them. If it cost me 100k, I'd sue them into the ground.

6. How do I just *KNOW* these women are vehemently "pro-life"?

With a complete lack of self awareness or irony about the incongruence of these two positions.

7. Civil disobedience takes many forms.

10. They should be

charged with child abuse/endangerment. Not only for their own children but for other children who came in contact with their children. Also who else may they have infected-teachers,elderly, people who already have suppressed immunity. They should be arrested and charged.
