[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Everyone saying “testing is not invasive and not a big deal” is missing the point. This is covid theater pure and simple. Most other districts throughout the country, including in blue states, aren’t requiring this before school starts. DC holding on to something like testing before school is a sign it is not following public health guidance and hasn’t moved on in an appropriate, informed way, which makes many of us nervous we’re looking at more silly quarantines and closures when/if cases go up.

It isn’t Covid theater. Kids who are asymptomatic with Covid need to go home to contain the spread. Some kids aren’t vaccinated or have family members who are immunocompromised. Other states don’t have the resources to test to return.[/quote]

If you think that kids who are asymptomatic need to be kept at home, I have bad news for you about every other day of the year when they're not doing this. Kids who are not vaccinated are already at low risk (because they're kids and because they've probably already been exposed to it), but if you absolutely cannot be exposed to COVID, this is providing you with a false sense of security because nothing short of living by yourself and having basically no contact with other humans is going to keep you from being repeatedly exposed to COVID.
