[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just noting that cases haven't really seemed to drop off from last week -- so far today we're at over 60, which is higher than where we were this time last week right after break.  I do expect them to go back down within a week or two but do find it interesting that 22207 is getting the majority of the cases -- 95 compared with next highest zip of 31 cases in 22204.  Not sure if this is lack of mask wearing in schools or fallout from Spring Break travel (folks coming back from break and infecting family members or others at their northern schools like Yorktown, Jamestown, and Discovery, which are the top 3 school vectors right now (beating out all the other high schools, even).[/quote]

22207 is where the COVID nuts live who test all the time.  Home of the laptop class, 0 COVID, Eric Feigl-Ding worshippers.

A friend from a North Arlington school's elementary school got invited to a birthday party where they required everyone to be vaccinated because their 3 year old couldn't get vaccinated. What anti-science non-sense for a vaccine with little effectiveness at preventing infection with kids, and 3 year olds have more protection than a vaccinated 40 year old.[/quote]

I also think this is part of what's going on.  A lot of testing in 22207.   There are a still a lot of zero coviders in N Arlington.  Also, who else can afford the constant testing - both time and flexibility away from work and cost of actual test if you're going to get a convenient/expedited option.[/quote]

Who is paying for tests? Free at curative and syphax.[/quote]

If you want a PCR you have to make an appointment at Kenmore and wait 24 hours for the results and the hours aren't great. Nothing on weekends but Saturday morning.

The Syphax option is a home rapid test so who is bothering with that anyway.  Our school nurse hands us a home test and a sheet to get it proctored at home so the only case I see for going to Syphax is poor home internet connection or you find the process to proctor the test too difficult.  (It's very easy, but maybe language barriers.)

Curative is also 1-2 days for results.  Sameday is a lot faster.

I also think the 22207ers are the test multiple time types.  There's no one negative test and I'm in the clear.  You test daily because you know the rapid test might not be positive until a couple of days into symptoms.[/quote]

We’ve been getting curative results within 18 hours – 22207. MaryMount location. [/quote]
