[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Actually it looks like quite a few people ARE using these tests.  There are 23 cases of covid reported to the dashboard today so far, whereas before it was just a case or two each day over spring break.  Yay, APS families -- don't send your sick kid into school![/quote]

18-19% of APS families were crazy enough to sign up for surveillance testing too (with the risk of false positives, are just backdoor school closures - no other place in society has such surveillance testing, but kids have to bear the burden if their parents are crazy enough to sign them up).[/quote]

Yeah, this isn't that.  The surveillance testing is done during school hours, at school.  We signed up for this actually but nobody is doing the routine weekly testing during break.  These positive covid tests are being reported in from at home covid testing, or maybe if you take your kid in to Kenmore or something (is that even open?).

The surveillance testing has been helpful for us fwiw.  Haven't tested positive yet but the negative results were reassuring when friends were getting covid.  Masking works.[/quote]
