[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do they offer weekly voluntary surveillance testing?   I assume not, nearly a year in and we don't really have the capacity for that, but that would be nice.  I bet a lot of people would participate, including students.  I would sign my youngest up.

(You still couldn't prove where you got it, so I think it is more a cost/capability/priorities thing rather than them worrying about workers comp or whatever.)

My kid's university is doing that for all staff / students who are on campus, and just now ramped up their own testing to make it mandatory instead of voluntary.  But they have their own health system and capabilities.  [/quote]

Yes, I think it would be safer for the whole community that way.  About a month from now, the teachers who didn’t get COVID will be the lucky ones with 95 percent immunity, but the kids can still get it and transmit it very easily to their families.  You KNOW there is that one sociopathic (or just hard up) parent in the classroom who will send her kid in with COVID, so I think surveillance testing would be great.

And maybe it would help with workers comp?  Who knows?  Thankfully, that is one thing I won’t have to worry about.  I am in FCPS so I will get to achieve immunity before I go back into the building.  I really don’t want this disease.  One of my colleagues got it and was in the hospital for 2 months.  It was awful.  She was ALONE and scared.  [/quote]

None of the public schools in the area will be offering any type of weekly testing. I’m sorry about your colleague. That is scary and everyone’s fear.

Noonan plans to bring back K-5, 6th and 12th grades next week. Teachers won’t have immunity. Let’s hope this doesn’t spread through the community and staff. [/quote]

That’s an appallingly stupid decision on his part. In two weeks time, they’ll be scrambling around trying to convince the homeless guys who hang out by the 66 exits to work as subs.[/quote]
