Most people aren't going to test. The families that do are probably already sheltering in place and/or triple-masking. This is a pretty meaningless request.[/quote]

People like you are the reason the rest of us now need to keep our kids home for two weeks after spring break. :([/quote]

I'm not sure you understand how the real world works any more. The Covid hysteria is over. It's not just me. Most students aren't going to test. It's just beyond naive to believe otherwise.[/quote]

I don’t think it matters if many don’t test.  Do what you want, and I will do what I think is right.  There are many who will test, and that sampling will allow [b]those of us who are concerned to know whether there’s a higher risk of transmission at school or not.[/b]  [/quote]

How do you figure?  The people who tested yesterday haven’t been in school for over a week.  Testing kids today/yesterday tells us nothing about in-school transmission.  It tells us how many kids got Covid over spring break.[/quote]

Correct and MCPS should do mandatory testing in school so we actually know the spread.  Regardless of how kids get it, between school, socializing and outside activities, it will spread one way or another in or out of schools. [/quote]

MCPS is not doing mandatory testing or staff or students.  So, the point stands.  There is no good reason to test my kids today.  No thanks, I’ll pass.  Testing the entire students body today (or yesterday) really does nothing.  It’s a waste of money and resources.  [/quote]
