Just got an email from my daughters' school saying that all students 3 and over, and their families, should get tested tomorrow, as a negative test will likely be required in order to attend school after YT.
Need to buy shares in the companies making these tests.
This business with the students needing a negative test to attend school is BS, it’s just to “scare” people into coming to test so that they get a high turnout. The entire purpose of this exercise is to lower the positivity rate, which is why they discourage anyone with any symptoms from attending. Same as is being done in other communities
In the event of a shutdown, if a recent negative test result will be required to attend school once the state is ready to do so, the odds are super slim they’ll accept results dated 10/6, which would be before schools in this zipcode were even shut down.
The silly irony is that even a politically motivated testing drive like this could R”L cause COVID spread. Unless they have strict enforcement, which I doubt they will, it will be yet another crowded community event where most people aren’t masked.
