[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]agree on the PP on testing front - but Test Yourself DC is going to have to ramp up for demand that's clearly already picking up from school - tested my child at the end of last school week (Sat am when tests were available) - still no results back - assuming they are flooded with school start....[/quote]

I would love to see info on testing capacity and if it would be possible to ramp it up. However, I do want to note we tested our kid on Thursday of last week and got results back Saturday. I have heard many people complain about "delays" in test results after testing Friday or Saturday. But it was a long weekend. So I highly recommend that anyone using Test Yourself for asymptomatic testing, try to do the test midweek and get it to the drop box by Thursday morning at the latest. If you wait until Friday or Saturday to test, it will push you into the following week, and they will have to clear the backlog.

But yes, they should ramp up testing capacity no matter what. I am guessing lack of capacity is why they aren't formally pushing DCPS families to use the program because this is the obvious solution for testing in schools. It's less disruptive of the school day if parents test kids at home, and if we use Test Yourself we could potential get even more than 10% of DCPS students tested regularly, which is the target for the in-school testing that they've never reached.[/quote]
