[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Random testing picks up way too many false positives. Kids would be forced to miss school for no reason. [/quote] So, when Trump said stop testing so we have fewer cases on the record, we said cult of personality, anti-science, nutter (correctly, in my view), but now parents are saying stop testing so we have fewer cases on record, and we're supposed to say right-o? Crazy. [/quote] If DC accounted for false positives in their protocols, then no problem. But, in a school where you test, say, 1000 kids over the course of a week, TWENTY of those tests may come back with false positives. That means classes for those 20 kids (or more) will be sent home for 2 weeks without recourse. That could be more than half the school. If the school would accept a second negative PCR test as proof that the kids are negative, we could avoid this. But if they can't manage this much nuance, then testing is more harmful than helpful.
