[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Before they actually implement broad-based antibody testing, virus testing, and contact tracing, they can't say when schools can open because they won't have a sense of how quickly the virus is still spreading and how many people actually have had it.

They need that data to make a determination about schools.[/quote]

I think it's safe to say that all of that won't be reliably in place for at least another month. [/quote]

Actually, according to Hogan,  Maryland apparently has hundreds of people already doing contract tracing and is in good shape scaling up the test for active virus — needs to hire more contract tracers, but a system already in place .  Really the only big ask is antibody testing. Hard to tell fromsummary status of that.[/quote]

NP. I teach in MD, but I live in DC where I haven't heard much in terms of a plan for testing us. I wonder what returning to work would look like for us. For example, would I need to get myself and my household members tested first before I'd be able to return to work? I know we're not going back any time soon, but I wonder if anyone is talking about how to handle the employees (government or private sector) who work across state lines when some areas aren't as proactive as others.
