[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You're not going to sign up for testing, that's pretty clear. Very sad. [/quote]

Tell that to the 80%+ of people who didn't sign up.[/quote]

LOL. We don’t have 80% anti-testers.

We have some who didn’t know about it, some who didn’t understand it, and some who tried but the opt-in form was too confusing/laborious.

Only a small % were selfish a-holes who decided NOT to do the right thing.

My impression from talking to people I know is that a lot of the people who didn't sign up support the idea in theory, but are concerned about how it will work in practice.  Someone raised questions on AEM last night (in the thread about the algorithm from the woman who called the testing company) about what happens if there are conflicting results between the algorithm and the confirmation test or if there are multiple positives in the pools that implicate several students not all of whom have covid.  People are legitimately concerned about how opaque the process is and whether their child could be barred from going to school when they are negative for covid because of flaws in the testing protocols.[/quote]

As one of the "very small %age of a--holes who didn't sign up,"  -- THIS!  This is why we didn't sign-up, except for one child who is being tested daily to participate in extracurricular activity.[/quote]

Sounds like you haven’t signed up *yet* because you didn’t fully understand the testing process (due to lack of info).

Not just because you didn’t want to test.

This is us. I have a large stockpile of rapid tests. We test kids ourselves. If we get a positive, I would follow up with a pcr. I do not trust these pooled tests to work through the red tape quickly to get my kid back to school if they are in fact negative. [/quote]
