The odds of a fully vaccinated Wakefield student (a teenager) having an asymptomatic case are very high. |

The odds of an asymptomatic fully vaccinated teenager from Wakefield standing outside in 30° weather to get a Covid test for over an hour is very low. |

Nope. Eligible family members vaxxed and will test if symptomatic.
CHOP already leading the way to recommend not do weekly testing in schools as further discussed in this interview on their recent guidance. https://www.npr.org/2022/01/13/1072174666/omicron-schools-cases-testing?utm_campaign=npr&utm_source=facebook.com&utm_medium=social&utm_term=nprnews&fbclid=IwAR2wIiU2zFevsVGShKi_nXqr_u-HLQsa1eB9mwk49WMH3ndpgMC3JB9PdTk "This year, with a variant that on average is milder in most individuals, particularly in children, and at a time when people have been offered vaccination ... it no longer makes sense in terms of trying to prevent mild illness at a time when people have been vaccinated. And it's no longer feasible or practical, particularly for most schools. We had discovered early on that not many schools can even achieve the kind of testing cadence to do the type of asymptomatic testing that schools are doing in some places, and you're starting to develop the haves and the have-nots. And at a time now when we have widespread transmission, even the schools that had been doing well were really challenged." |
