Did your child test positive or negative on the rapid test?

I know this board is totally anecdotal. I'll go first. Our kids are 3/3 negative, but we didn't travel this break and all activities have been canceled so I'm not surprised. I would also not be surprised if we do the second test later in the week and it's positive.

I’m dreading a classmate coming in positive and sending them virtual though

Negative. We also have not traveled and have limited activities.

Same, but my kids still got it over the break, likely from the last day of school. Negative now.

We traveled over the holidays.

Last week: one was negative, the other positive (with symptoms).
Haven't tested the negative DC again yet. We are not going to test the positive DC for at least 90 days, per guidelines.

Ancedotal: my friends kids are both positive, no symptoms.

Negative. 2 kids. HS.

Not testing children who have been positive in the last 90 days is only for PCR testing, it does not apply to the antigen tests that MCPS sent home.

if your kid is vaccinated, they won't quarantine your kid unless they exhibit symptoms and gets a positive test.

My DC came home with his rapid test and neither one worked. Several of his friends reported duds as well. We finally had to use one I'd gotten at CVS and he was negative.

? but the antigen test would pickup traces, no?

Negative. We've been living our life as usual- gathered with family over New Years, had a small get together with friends over the weekend (indoors), had indoor sports practice, went to the mall and grocery store. We are all vaccinated and wear masks indoors in public places.

Negative. We have been traveling and doing other activities albeit masked.

Two of my kid's teachers are out with it.
