Have you sign-up for weekly asymptomatic testing at APS

[Anonymous]

So now that they are doing pooled PCR testing... If a pool comes back positive, I assume that they will then retest the individuals in that pool with a rapid test rather than another PCR? And would the kids in the pool have to stay home during that time? Because ~36 hours + another 36 hours = what is even the point anymore?

Excellent question - if that is the case, I want to go back and opt-out.

Huh? Testing has been recommended for the last year +.

I don’t understand why people are anti-everything. Is it a mental issue? Oppositional defiance?

Nah, it's just fun to provoke you people.

Definitely sounds like a mental issue…

Oh I completely agree you have one.

You are fcked in the head. Get help.

See, I told you it was easy to provoke you. I'm having fun. You seem angry.

Because I'm tired of d1ckheads who can't do very basic things to make this pandemic end.

Why are you such a terrible person? Did your parents beat you?

Looks like APE has a post about this and emails from Pope indicate yes everyone in the pool would have to stay home and obtain individual PCR. Question is now would close contacts of those in the pool have to quarantine before confirmation of an individual PCR? One again APS is taking a measure that will close schools instead of helping to keep schools open.

How does asymptomatic testing end a "pandemic" for a virus that will be "endemic" for the rest of our lives? It will continue to spread. The future is that it will be treated like any other respiratory virus, and kids who are not sick (i.e., don't have actual symptoms) will not miss school.

I would send my vaccinated asymptomatic kid right back to school if he was part of a pooled positive. Only if his personal test was positive would I keep him home. I did opt him in.

Why are you so easily agitated by an anonymous message board?

Hint: we are still in a pandemic and millions (incl kids) are still unvaccinated.

Testing helps isolate breakouts and keeps kids in school.

CDC recommends screening for schools.

If this is true, I want to go back and opt-out too. I'm fine with my kid getting individually tested. I'm not okay with my kid being asked to stay home because someone in the random pool testing came back positive.

It's true. I confirmed myself with the testing folks (btw their contact info is on the APS testing site). And yes anyone in the pool will have to stay home till they test again with a PCR. So multiple days for every pool positive.

- Signed someone who is signing her kids up for asymptomatic testing for the greater good.

So do masks work or not?

I don't think that's going to be your choice.

Looks like I'm revoking my consent then.

Can we get our own PCR test outside of their program to test back in?
