As a parent without nearby family support, this feels uncomfortably real. What the model exposes is a system where illness isn’t a failure but an incentive, quietly shifting the cost of optimization onto families.
Sounds more like the Mathematics rather than Physics, to be pedantic.
But kids do get sick a lot without any encouragement.
I expect two caregivers per room for 2-3 y.o. and 1 for 4-5 y.o. And perhaps one going from room to room just in case. So I don't expect that they can send one home.
