Would you test?

DS1 gets tested weekly at school. We got an inconclusive result yesterday from Thursday’s test with a note that the sample spilled. The result email asked that we have him retested ASAP at another school site. He is not symptomatic and has had no known exposure, and I believe that his daily pass that allows him access into school will continue to work through this week regardless of a retest. He will be tested again on Thursday. Would you go out of your way to test?

No way. I mean, I'm super upset about our district's TOTAL lack of any restrictions, but I wouldn't go out of my way to do this testing. In comparison to our situation, when I think of one kid missing one weekly test, with no symptoms or exposure, it seems crazy to jump through hoops to re-test him.

No, I wouldn’t.

Is this just surveillance testing (I'd say no retest), or is it in response to contact with a known case (I think I'd retest)?

If he can still go to school, then no.

I came in here ready to say yes as a default, but no.

Ha. Same!
