Everywhere else, yes.

Why do you think the mass media stopped publishing how low  symptomatic positives or hospitalizations are? or how all the catholic schools in the country have been open since August 2020? Or how all the day cares of essential workers have been open since April 2020 with no real issues? [/quote]

The lack of testing and contact tracing ENSURES that no issues can ever be found, PP. It's so convenient for all the business-as-usual people to forget that this pandemic is driven by asymptomatic cases. Community spread has to reach the vulnerable, elderly and sick among us before anyone realizes it's too late... unless we implement systematic pooled testing and contact tracing, which the USA (and many other countries) refuses to do.

my kids school has weekly testing of 1000 kids and 250 staff. Most weeks it's zero positives. One in awhile there is 1 or 2 positives and they will pull out a 10 kid pod. Guess what? Never any positives in the "exposed" pod either.

the data speaks for itself. THe media and gov't aren't showing you that data.

and the schools, sports, activities that do no testing also show no issues, spread, etc.

you can keep harping on test everyone all the time.  at the end this will just look like the flu in the data. Sick unhealthy people who caught the flu fared badly.

Know how many ER doctors I know who own and operate testing gigs and urgimeds now due to the sheer easy profit of doing so now? [/quote]

This is the case in our schools too -- but one kid had a school that was able to break them into pods of less than 10 students, the other has had outdoor classrooms whenever possible and good ventilation indoors. I think in schools that lack those facilities and resources have not faired as well. Not to mention the selection bias... if your child goes to school like this, you're very likely to see a lot of parents WAH in white collar jobs and able to afford delivery of food and supplies during peak infection waves, hence putting them at lower risk for exposure.[/quote]
