[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]SSSS did whole school testing yesterday (1/2) and, based on those results, is continuing with virtual for the week (Monday 1/3 was a scheduled virtual day).  Return to in-person will be on Monday 1/10.  There will be another whole school testing day on Thursday (1/5) to isolate any positive cases not caught by the 1/2 testing.  Apparently, of the 1,214 people (students and staff) tested on 1/2, there were 135 positive results.  [/quote]

Sorry, that's SSSAS.[/quote]

With an 11% positivity rate that seems like a reasonable approach, because this is measuring the entire school population, not a sample.  The 20%+ numbers reported by state or local governments are based on a self-selected sample so they can't be directly compared to a measure of the entire population (the results reported by states are people who sought a test because they felt sick or were traveling and so can be expected to be higher in general).  A second test on Thursday will help establish how much ongoing community spread there is.

I heard that over 100 students didn’t test. At least the test later in the week should catch cases from New Years celebrations[/quote]

Over 100 kids missing the test is concerning.  It might mean families are extending their vacations which could mess up the schools’s plan to get everyone back and tested.  Hope these families have the decency to at least be back for the next round of testing since the school is doing everything they can.  [/quote]
My fear is they’ll return home just before the test but won’t show up positive yet [/quote]
