[QUOTE="HSSS, post: 2345195, member: 480869"] So what do we think of the school testing plans? the ones where [LIST] [*]kids exposed by close contact with a positive confirmed case no longer get sent home to isolate for 10 days. [*]they then get tested daily by lateral flow [*]these tests are performed by non medical as yet unrecruited and undos checked staff and volunteers [*]And these tests find half of those pcr does which in turn finds about 70%. So lateral flow find about 35% of actual cases [*]in the pre symptomatic/positive result infectious 48hrs period they are still in school not isolating as they are now. [*]No other kids tested. With the exception of the first week where there will be a one off mass testing, 2 each, of all vulnerable (not medically but socially), key worker or exam yr 11 and 13 children if they can manage it whilst they are attending in person throughout. [/LIST] Guess what my thoughts are? [/QUOTE]
