[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What are you all talking about. What kind of a group of people would say that asymptomatic testing is a waste of money? Disgusting.[/quote]

can you explain? do you think there is some kind of moral mandate to do surveillance testing? I don’t understand. [/quote]

DP: I think it's a good idea to get regular data from a widespread diverse stable population to monitor spread and variants.  This would enable us to better deploy resources, adapt faster to changing circumstances and get a more accurate picture of prevalence.  [/quote]

...school attendees are not a representative sample of the DC population, though.[/quote]

It's as good a representative sampling as one could ever get.  Is it perfect, no.  But it would be geographically, economically and demographically diverse.[/quote]

oh god no. you need to take a statistics class.[/quote]

I know statistics, have taken statistics classes, conducted surveys and am an analyst.  It's as good a representative sampling as one can get practically and logistically.  You need to get out in the field more often.   There are always trade offs that have to be made for practical reasons.[/quote]

Wow. You are not good at your job.[/quote]

I'm better than you.  Adapting to the unique constraints of a given situation is an important skill that you clearly do not have.[/quote]
