[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No way am I signing up for this.  If my asymptomatic kid tests positive, all three of his siblings need to miss two+ weeks of school?  No way, especially since no one else in their class will have to quarantine.[/quote]

+1 And sports too.  Their entire teams.

Look we don’t test for flu after people are vaccinated with the flu. if we did, there would be asymptomatic people testing positive.  Many will test positive after being fully vaccinated with no ability to transmit the virus.

This will cause shutting down of activities, quarantining without need, etc.

I want to add the caveat that my kids are in age groups where everyone can be vaccinated.

If I had elementary kids, my answer would be different.[/quote]

So you are are saying you are OK sending your kid to school and sports practice with asymptomatic COVID? WTH?

Why TF do you think "many will test positive after being fully vaccinated with no ability to transmit the virus"?

[i]"Fully vaccinated people with Delta variant breakthrough infections can spread the virus to others.

For people infected with the Delta variant, similar amounts of viral genetic material have been found among both unvaccinated and fully vaccinated people."

Sigh...

ARE YOU GETTTING TESTED REGUALARLY?  If not, have you stopped doing anything outside of your house?  Indoors?

My kids have to wear masks at school and on sidelines near other kids.  I wear a mask (even though VA doesn't require it) indoors at grocery stores, the gym, etc.

So, it's the same really.  And if I have zero symptoms, how the hell do I know if I am asymptomatically Covid positive currently unless I did a test DAILY???   There is no policy or even suggestion to do daily testing on vaccinated individuals.

So, yes, I think this is such a minimal, minimal thing.

They either have to test every single kid and staff that walks through the door on a daily basis (not feasible) or this is really just worthless.[/quote]
