In NYC and LA, returning pupils face battery of virus tests

New York Mayor Bill de Blasio, center right, greets students as they arrive for in-person classes outside Public School 188 The Island School, Tuesday, Sept. 29, 2020, in the Manhattan borough of New York. Hundreds of thousands of elementary school students are heading back to classrooms starting Tuesday as New York City enters a high-stakes phase of resuming in-person learning during the coronavirus pandemic.

“Every single school will have testing. It will be done every single month. It will be rigorous,” New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio said in announcing the plan as part of an agreement with the teachers union to avert a strike. At least 79 Department of Education employees have died from the virus.With an estimated 100,000-120,000 tests expected each month, each costing between $78 and $90, New York City’s school-based testing plan goes well beyond safety protocols seen in most other districts.

in a trend authorities say appears to be fueled by school reopenings and other activities. Children of all ages now make up 10% of all U.S cases, up from 2% in April, the American Academy of Pediatrics reported Tuesday. “Pulling off something like this is almost a miraculous undertaking in and of itself because there are so many things that could go wrong,” said Arlene Inouye, secretary of United Teachers Los Angeles, which negotiated conditions for school nurses tasked with testing, “but what’s really encouraging is that there are a lot of partners in this venture.”

“When you see the impact that has on academics — that’s what we’re here for — then I think there’s a higher calling to do more testing,” Laurrie said. “That way we don’t have to rely on anybody else. We can rely on ourselves.” “There’s so many patchwork plans,” said Gronvall, noting there has been no national model for districts to follow.As many as 40% of people infected with COVID-19 exhibit no symptoms.

Because planning tnis over the summer would hsve been too soon?

Every single _month_?

“New York City is set to begin testing 10% to 20% of students and staff in every building monthly ...more than 1 million students returns classrooms “ They’re going to batch test as little as 1/5 of people monthly. With flu season around the corner. What are we doing?

withe a suspected two week incubation period, WEEKLY testing, AT A MINIMUM, is what is really called for.

Every month? All it takes is ONE infected kid ONE Day to spread it like wildfire.

Or just don’t test people at all? Does anyone read the new data that comes out almost daily?

Now this man is truly a clown. How New York keeps him in office is truly unbelievable.

Test the politicians for sanity, especially in NY.

Will they also do this w/ seasonal flu now? Because seasonal flu actually affects more children than Covid.

Schools open in Florida.. Get out of your liberal cities.. Florida has an amazing Governor

Temperature checking or shove a stick up their nose?

Month?

Which tests? Pcr tests can't differ between flu or virus. BTW antibodies can be released for other ailments

😄😃👍👍

Poor New Yorkers...🤦🏾‍♂️ i feel for you guys..then again yall voted for him.

No

WHITE HOUSE tested every day......sorry dying Americans

casedemic strong Pcr brrrr Good luck with that

Jesus. What a waste.

Every single month? I test negative today. I contract the virus tomorrow. I walk around school for a few weeks, never showing symptoms because I'm a kid. A month later, I test positive. But I didn't infect anyone else because my test was negative a month ago. JFC

Sounds like to me they are trying to pad the numbers....MAGA2020

successful areas testing weekly or twice a week

All positives will be sent to nursing homes.
