[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m in Delaware and they are doing an amazing job with testing, IMO. Tons of free drive through testing events, great short instructional video, results emailed in 3 days. I expect they will apply the same sort of plan to schools. Population wise DE is similar to DC. DC should copy what Delaware is doing. [/quote]

This won't work for the schools because the tests can't be random and offsite. You're supposed to test ~ 25% of each group, which would be based on who you were in classroom/contact with. If it comes back negative (immediately, not after 3 days) then the group is fine. If a certain amount comes back positive (I think it was ~ 5-10%) then you test the entire group to see the spread and then start to quarantine that group.

Why so quick to dismiss? Perhaps you are committed to a 100% DL idea and don't want to hear reasonable arguments for how we can allow for in-person school. Anyway, you dismissal of the idea is weak. There are lots of ways to bring testing into the schools and make it work. The drive through tests used in Delaware are mouth swabs...not the nasal. [/quote]
