[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You know what we don't do? Take a deliberately non-representative sample and then use this to generalize about an entire population.[/quote] It's going to be deliberately non-representative because you have to opt in to testing. Choice already means the sample is skewed. Next, I think you have to opt IN to testing, which means the people that don't get the forms won't bother to opt in. Given that there's a huge DCPS population that fell off the map and stopped attending any DL by the end of last year, we can assume that they are going to have a higher prevalence of not opting in. So we obviously have a unrepresentative sample. Plus evidence from last year shows that asymptomatic testing doesn't find many true positives, is prohibitively expensive when considering the spread it might prevent, and may actively do more harm than good.[/quote]
