[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the city could manage false positives better, then I would opt in to testing. But this spring showed us that it can’t. So nope, they won’t be testing my kid again. [/quote]

what happened with the false positive? a long time out of school?[/quote]

Good question.  Can’t you just test again?  [/quote]

LOL no.  You are out of school for two weeks full stop.  It doesn't matter if you test again and it is negative.[/quote]

Original false positive PP here. Correct - a false positive is treated as a positive even if subsequent tests are negative. 2 weeks out of school and all the cancellation of activities for not only my kid, but everyone else's who shares the activity or class. Plus, then you get the health department calling you every day because a false positive doesn't matter to them either- they count it as covid and then want to know everyone you are in contact with.

Our school had a cluster of false positives this spring (a bunch of kids in different grades and classes all came back positive - every single one got a second pcr test that same day and were negative) and they had to essentially shut the school. Nope, no thanks. If DC can't be nuanced about its protocols or policies, then I am not participating.[/quote]
