[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Any scoop on what the tests are picking up this week - or is the new provider too disorganized to tell? I am seeing big chunks of kids from a single school pop up on the tracker each day and it seems to be 2-3 schools each day and different ones the next day. Are these from testing?

Also how soon are people getting results? My kid’s test is today and I’m nervous. [/quote]

There’s been some hiccups with the testing provider, but before those numbers start rolling in it’s interesting to look at what has already been reported. This is as of yesterday and keep in mind the January positives were not while the children were in school. The January numbers are purely community spread, as they would not have been able to be infected while in school.

That's a lot of asymptomatic positives and kids with colds. Sounds like every January.

Per the CDC, the weekly hospitalization rate for kids for flu this time of year is 3.5 per 100,000, and right now for COVID it's 2.4. Plus, COVID includes hospitalizations that are most likely at least 40%+ incidental, the flu does not.[/quote]

Nice sound bites, but these were not asymptomatic. These were kids with symptoms whose parents waited in line for hours to get them tested at curative kiosks. Do you think 100+ kids at Wakefield that were tested in the past week went and got tested for the hell of it?[/quote]
