[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is no plot to sabotage in-person learning by infecting everyone with covid. Are you Tucker Carlson? Because you sound like him, sad crazy provocateur person.

What there is, is some epic failure and miscommunication on so many levels and everywhere. [/quote]

If by sabotage you mean hold people accountable for sickness then yes. People should be getting tested so schools can stay open. [/quote]

Of course, you're holding everyone else in the quarantined class "accountable" as well...[/quote]

Stopping the spread? Yes[/quote]

How many students will have to stay home in Zoom school, per each "spread" prevented? If 10 students have to stay home in Zoom school unnecessarily, is that too many? How about 20? 50? 100? [/quote]

If they are negative they come back. Students who are positive should stay home. [/quote]

But it could take days to get a negative result.  I know that my family would do everything possible to get a same day result but many won’t/can’t.  And just wait until the holidays- test results took forever last year.

If MCPS insists on doing this they need to be providing a testing option with a quick turnaround.[/quote]

Same day testing can return results in one day so can your pediatrician. If your kid is sick it’s your parental responsibility to get them tested not the schools. Be honest if mcps did testing people would complain about that too. Parents would argue it wasn’t rapid enough, accurate enough, hurt too much, taking too long, need independent verification, and insert every other complaint. It isn’t hard to get a rapid pcr and move on with going back to school. [/quote]

Well report back and let us know how it goes in your class.  You’re dependent on 20+ other families making the same decisions and jumping through the same hoops as you.  My pediatrician does not return the results the same day but we have other options that are covered by our insurance.  But I’m not under any illusion that those options are realistic for lower income families who perhaps don’t have the same insurance coverage or would not be able to cover the out of pocket cost for same day testing.

Maybe you’re at a W school and don’t have to worry about that.[/quote]
