[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are these schools "with fewer cases" actually doing rigorous testing?

Can't count what you don't look for...[/quote]

Are the schools that are mandating the vaccine doing “rigorous testing?” [/quote]

Some are testing. My kid gets tested every other day. So the numbers are accurate there. Unfortunately I am not aware of any schools with a testing protocol without a mandate so it’s really comparing apples to a tiny piece of an orange.[/quote]

Is your kid in a nursing program or other medical/health care setting for college?   I can not imagine a large uninversity (20,000+ students) having the time or supplies to test every single student, every other day.[/quote]

No, not nursing. Some schools prioritized testing from the beginning and are able to do thousands of tests per day with appropriate follow up care for anyone testing positive. Large schools could use pooled testing 1-2x per week. With faculty and staff testing, the school is comparable to the size of Liberty and some of the other schools mentioned here. [/quote]

I'm not very familiar with Liberty, but when I google it says it has 15,000 residential students.   So your kid's school tests 7,500 students every day (15,000 every other day?)  If they test from 8 am-6 pm--thats 750 students per hour! 12 students per minute... Assuming it takes about 1 minute to get the student in the chair, swab, and  get the student out of the chair.. How many people do they employ just to swab noses?  [/quote]
