[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do you know that there hasn't been covid outbreaks in those schools if they haven't been testing? No, i doubt that the schools you discribe test adequetly.

Everybody I know who had it only knew so because they  had a lateral flow or PCR test  though  workplace routine screening when they had common cold/flu symptoms. The odd few had no sympoms at all and tested at the right time though dumb luck.[/quote]

You're missing the point, which isn't that no one has COVID ever again, but that people don't get super sick and die.  So if we don't test as much, and most people don't get super sick and die, we're good.

Sigh.

This is a DC area website.  This area is overall, very highly vaccinated.  It's also full of hyperanxious people who seem to think that the absence of COVID is the sole health outcome of relevance (it's not).  So, in *this area*, yes, we need to start moving towards relaxing restrictions to account for allll those other important health outcomes that are impacted by being super careful about COVID, all the time.

It's really not that hard.[/quote]
