[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The University of Illinois tested 10,000 students on Monday alone, with a positivity rate this week of 0.3 to 0.5 (the DMV is about 3.0 - 5.0 in comparison)[/quote] That sounds like a low positivity rate but ..... that still means 30-50 positive students with each requiring isolation, contact tracing/quarantine of close contacts. If the results are similar each day of testing, the positives in one week can quickly number in the hundreds all needing isolation/quarantine. Logistically daunting. But massive testing is the only way to keep from getting exponential spread.[/quote] The university is testing asymptomatic and symptomatic, DMV labs are mostly still testing symptomatic, though more asymptomatic these days (to get to college/travel/visit family) Hence 0.5% vs 5%.[/quote]
