It’s cheaper than forcing parents to teach their kids and not work


It can be done. You can swab a bunch of kids, combine them all into one big batch, and test them. If it’s negative, you can test 20 kids for the cost of one test.

It can be done. It costs money, but it’s cheaper than a lockdown. The economic costs of virtual learning are too damn high. We need to be back in school. I actually agree with Trump there. Anything less than 100% in person learning is going to have awful consequences on both the kids and their families. We need schools to reopen. Everything that can be done should be done to make that happen.

The fact that it still takes days to find out the results of a covid-19 test says we are failing miserably.
