Wow! That's one potential school outbreak stopped in its tracks, keeping a lot more kids in school.

Or it’s a bunch of ‘contacts’ forced into quarantine despite the fact that it was. A false positive or had such a low viral load it had no power to transmit. (See UK study that only 1.4 percent of quarantined contacts develop covid…)

You're such a sad troll.

It was all very simple. It's the same way kids have been going to school in the United States for hundreds of years.

Your kid is in APS?

And she had the option to get tested today?

No - my point is that we never signed up for testing. No risk of a false positive when you don't sign up for testing.

My daughter will be at school tomorrow since you has not been sick since April and is feeling fine. That's the way school has worked for hundreds of years.

How long do you test positive after having had COVID-19?
Because the PCR test is so sensitive, it can detect very small amounts of virus material. This means that the test can continue to detect fragments of SARS-CoV-2 virus even after you’ve recovered from COVID-19 and are no longer contagious. So you may continue to test positive if you've had COVID-19 in the distant past, even though you can’t spread the SARS-CoV-2 virus to others.

0% chance 30 days out - per link above

I reAd the study you are citing. It definitely doesn’t say anything about a 0 percent chance of a positive test 30 Days out. The cdc specifically says not to retest to determine infectious east bc you can be ‘persistently positive’ for up to 90 days (but not infectious).
https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/hcp/faq.html#Testing,-Diagnosis,-and-Notification

Keep reading.

“ The probability of a positive PCR test then decreases to 50% (38–65%) by 10 days after infection and reaches virtually 0% probability by 30 days after infection (Fig. 3a, b). ”
