[quote=Anonymous]I think a better way to use the same number of rapid tests would be to stop testing asymptomatic kids at all and to rapid every kid who comes through the door with symptoms. This is what the NFL did for it's players/coaches/staff (and obviously they have decent incentives re: wanting to keep things rolling w/o causing unnecessary disruption) after their first wave of data showed (1) that there was next to no spread from truly asymptomatic people and (2) that there was quite a bit of spread from people who tested negative w/ early symptoms and then later tested positive... The goal is to catch the 2nd group the day they turn positive (which you will do if you rapid every day) and ignoring the 1st group does limited damage (and minimizes false positives which are a much higher percentage of asymptomatic test results because the prevalence of COVID in the population is so much lower).[/quote]
