Aaaaaah well this document is from the provincial ministry. I'm sure very similar ones exist in English from other provinces, but I knew where that one was, for reasons previously explained.

Can't use machine translation for medical and legal documentation for obvious reasons.
By the time it's detectable it's too late.
You can't test the kid. What I'm saying is a lot of people in here are quick to judge the parents, but clearly even to medical professionals the situation is not cut and dry.
As I mentioned in another comment, I've been there. I have been through PPE, and I had to seriously advocate for myself to the ER doctor for him to go consult an infectious disease specialist before they agreed.
A lot of people have a lot of strong opinions around here so, as someone who's been in a bat in room situation with ambiguous contact potential let me point you to Quebec's Health Ministry's Post Exposition Prophylaxis guidelines:
Vacciner les personnes ayant eu une exposition significative à une source potentiellement rabique.
Une exposition significative est une morsure, une griffure ou un contact de la salive ou du LCR d’un mammifère potentiellement rabique avec une plaie fraîche (ayant saigné ou suinté depuis moins de 24 heures) ou avec une muqueuse.
L’exposition significative se définit comme suit :
Chauve‑souris : présence des 2 conditions suivantes :
Contact physique reconnu avec la chauve‑souris; Morsure, griffure ou contact de la salive de la chauve‑souris avec une plaie fraîche (ayant saigné ou suinté depuis moins de 24 heures) ou avec une muqueuse non exclu. La PPE n’est pas indiquée en l’absence de contact physique reconnu (ex. : chauve‑souris trouvée dans la maison sans qu’on ait eu connaissance d’un contact physique avec l’animal). Si la description des faits ne peut être obtenue auprès d’une personne fiable (ex. : jeune enfant ou personne intoxiquée), il faut chercher à savoir si des éléments de l’histoire laissent croire à un tel contact, comme des cris ou des pleurs soudains ou inhabituels ou bien une lésion cutanée compatible avec une morsure de chauve‑souris (plaie punctiforme comparable à la piqûre d’une aiguille hypodermique, d’un diamètre inférieur ou égal à 1 mm, peu ou pas douloureuse).

Translation of the bold section: PPE is not indicated in the absence of known physical contact (ex: a bat found in the house without knowledge of physical contact).

That's literally the health institutions protocol now a days. Though for kids it depends how credible the kid is about not being exposed.
You can't test the kid, only the bat. So if they didn't catch it testing is a no go.
Thanks for the heads up State Department news!
Iran: if you don't want this to escalate absolutely do not attack our oil infrastructure, else we will retaliate in kind against western backed oil infrastructure.
Nobody:
Biden: oh I know what will insure the Democrats lose the election: radically higher gas prices and wider involvement in the middle east!
If y'all lose the election, it won't be because of tankies, Jill Stein, of whatever other boogieman y'all can come up with. It'll be your own damn fault. Stop blaming everybody else, the call is coming from inside the house.
there was a recent article here on Lenny taking about how AI
Funny you'd mention Lenny, he's also a bot! A good one though!

Kinda depends on your threat model too, like if you don't want your traffic going through the US signal is gonna be a big no no.
