No one has rapid tests. Yes it’s necessary, but I’m not aware of any country that has ACCURATE rapid tests.

As for contact tracing—aka dealing with outbreaks when they’re identified—yes we are doing that.[/quote]
'm a teacher in a Maryland public school.

I came down with mild, questionable COVID symptoms on Friday. On Sunday I called for a test and was given and appointment time for the next day.  On Monday I went to be tested.  It is now Saturday and I do not have my results yet.

What would have happened at my school if it had been in session and I had been teaching there all last week?   I still don't know if I have COVID.   I could call my school and let them know they had a possible case there on Thursday and Friday, but they can't shut down or quarantine for a whole week while I wait for results.   The system isn't going to work without fast results.

And that's assuming I do the right thing and am self isolating while waiting 7 days for my results. I feel FINE now and am so tempted to just go to the pool and go shopping.   Without actually knowing you have COVID it is very unlikely people will isolate.

Without fast test results we aren't going to be able to keep our numbers low, especially once kids are back in college and in school.[/quote]
