How long do you test positive after having had COVID-19?
Because the PCR test is so sensitive, it can detect very small amounts of virus material. This means that the test can continue to detect fragments of SARS-CoV-2 virus even after you’ve recovered from COVID-19 and are no longer contagious. So you may continue to test positive if you've had COVID-19 in the distant past, even though you can’t spread the SARS-CoV-2 virus to others.

0% chance 30 days out - per link above

I reAd the study you are citing. It definitely doesn’t say anything about a 0 percent chance of a positive test 30 Days out. The cdc specifically says not to retest to determine infectious east bc you can be ‘persistently positive’ for up to 90 days (but not infectious).
https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/hcp/faq.html#Testing,-Diagnosis,-and-Notification

Keep reading.

“ The probability of a positive PCR test then decreases to 50% (38–65%) by 10 days after infection and reaches virtually 0% probability by 30 days after infection (Fig. 3a, b). ”

My daughter under 12 did not get tested today since we didn't sign her up for testing. 0 risk of false positive that way. She will be at school tomorrow as she is not feeling sick.

It was all very simple. It's the same way kids have been going to school in the United States for hundreds of years.

Your kid is in APS?

And she had the option to get tested today?

No - my point is that we never signed up for testing. No risk of a false positive when you don't sign up for testing.

My daughter will be at school tomorrow since you has not been sick since April and is feeling fine. That's the way school has worked for hundreds of years.

It can detect post viral shedding but they can differentiate between that and an actual positive.

I suspect some parents would just come up with any excuse not to test. Probably the same ones who screamed for schools to open but now they won’t do their part. Very sad. How do you get through to them?

But you thought some kids were being tested tested yesterday?

Weird because APS schools were closed. Troll.

You can't. They are insufferable. Calling for open schools, then send their kids to private and still troll this site. Others stayed at APS and will hate anything that comes from the administration. Testing and masking will keep schools open but they need something to be bitter about.

I'm the testing troll.

I will be less sad if you would actually sign your kid up for testing.

We just got a notification of a positive case at our school - about 30 minutes after testing was scheduled to happen. Looks like it helped identify a case. Seems like a useful investment.

Wow! That's one potential school outbreak stopped in its tracks, keeping a lot more kids in school.

Or it’s a bunch of ‘contacts’ forced into quarantine despite the fact that it was. A false positive or had such a low viral load it had no power to transmit. (See UK study that only 1.4 percent of quarantined contacts develop covid…)

I have no patience for people who don’t even want to try and identify cases in the student population. I take it the quarantine complaint comes from the APE talking points.
