[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think until there is a rapid test that the kids can take every am at drop off the risk is too high for me. [/quote]

You realize you can have the virus and not test positive, if it's early in the virus course, right?

So a test isn't a guarantee either. If you're looking for a guarantee, you're better off just keeping your kid out until there's a vaccine. [/quote]

People keep writing this - but if you aren't testing positive (at the moment) even assuming you actually do have the virus in its early stages you clearly aren't shedding enough of a viral load to infect anyone (since you aren't even producing enough virus for a positive test).  Perhaps during the day there is a slight chance that your load increases enough to be infectious.  In any event, the next morning when you take your test before entry into work or school or whatever, at that point you would test positive (and wouldn't enter).  Obviously daily testing would greatly, greatly reduce the odds of bringing an infection into a center/worksite/airplane/whatever.[/quote]
