My younger daughter's school has now been in person every day for what, a month? Wearing masks, and the school did a great job spreading the kids out as best they could. 800 kids pre-school to high school, And no positive cases except the one high schooler who had it day one. It can be done, and done safely with a little effort and sense, i think.

This is great to hear. I definitely agree it can be done with planning and cooperation of the students and their families.Mormad said:

I have friends who are an administrator and teacher at a large private school in Raleigh (not the one my son attended). They have over 1,200 students (preK-12 grade) who have been back in school for about a month. They have had a handful of cases and all of those have been students who became infected with the virus away from school. So far, they have not had any known transmission on campus. Some students chose to do on-line, but the vast majority of the students are in class every day. They are not doing reduced classes. They also have several sports underway and football games are planned to start in October.

And here we get to the problem of false positives. Other Coronaviruses setting off tests.
EDIT: Apparently there is another coronavirus from a German study that was setting of false positives 7% of the time.
All of this isn't an issue when you are using tests rationally. But when every false positive is used as a cause to shut down schools and businesses, you need to be diligent.
Political implications aside, what do you worry would have a bigger impact on society (not individual), false positives or false negatives? What is the current FP and FN rates of the most commonly used tests? Maybe Davie can help here with the analysis, but using those rates, if an asymptomatic individual tests positive one day, and negative the 2 subsequent days, what's the likelihood the person is actually positive?
I think i know that answer to the first, but I'm not sure of the other questions but i have been thinking about it. Thanks for your and Davie's thoughts about it.

I would have to qualify my answer with "It depends"
The lower the community spread the higher the impact of false positives is especially WHEN you take unreasonable actions and overreact to the point you are closing businesses and schools over a single test.
If someone is FN and asymptomatic, not worried.
It is the secondary actions of actions of the FP that is the problem. When we are in the quick growth stage of the pandemic, maybe we can accept a few FPs. The lower the overall actual REAL number of infections out there, the higher percent of the detected cases are FPs. And again, the problem isn't the FP, it is the gross overreaction to a positive PCR test.
If someone tests positive one day, and then even has only 1 negative test the next day, given the over-sensitivity of PCR testing, I would consider the person non-infectious. The ramp up is pretty quick once positive and for someone to test negative AFTER testing positive and still be infectious would be a pretty remote chance. And I would be comfortable with that assessment with either PCR or paper antigen tests.
The problem again with 'positive', for these arguments 'positive' means HAS COVID19 and is INFECTIOUS.
False positives could be lab error, detection of other corona virus, or detection of past infection (so technically positive but no longer infectious).
There is some value to determining that someone MAY have had COVID19 in the past, but we shouldn't be treating a past infection as an ACTIVE case when detected.
I would love for the media to ask questions on what the false positive rate actually is, or do some similar studies that they are doing in Europe and detecting 3-7% false positive rates when other coronaviruses are mixed into samples.
Which is why we need to be going to the 'less sensitive' tests.

...with a little effort and sense [and room to spread out/distance while at school], right?
How many kids are in your little gal's classroom(s)?
That's the tough part about space-constrained public schools - how do you spread out enough to meaningfully limit contact points throughout the day when you have classes with 25-30 kids in them?
Population density in buildings matters. This is where many private schools have a big leg up on public in terms of going back to in-person learning.
On top of physical spacing, you have the classroom management. Easier to manage kids' mask-wearing and distancing when there are fewer kids in each classroom to manage.
Watching my wife try to wrangle 3rd grade science students on Google Classroom makes me skeptical that masking and distancing protocols can be implemented so that they are achievable and relatively enforceable in person in public schools.
The saving grace for the little ones may simply be they seem to be bad vectors for this disease so it doesn't take perfect adoption of protocols to keep them safe and limit community spread stemming from a return to schools.

Even the WaPo is figuring out what has been seen empirically around the world for months now.
Schools can return. "....and the rates of infection are far below what is found in the surrounding communities."

Do you know if Wake and other ACC schools are using PCR testing or have they been able to get access to the newer test the government recently purchased?
After reading the NYT article a few weeks ago about the unreliability of the PCR testing that has been used so far gives me pause on any accurate testing information using these tests.

Yes, great point. I should have said, she goes to a medium sized private school. MUCH easier to implement in that environment. Public school, not so much. My point was actually broader...i think it's just "proof" that we can open up more around us if we use precautions.

That's an interesting take. Honestly, i only agree with the overreaction part i think.
Again, for societal health and defeating a pandemic:
1. I definitely don't want less sensitive tests, and therefore more false negatives just so the numbers look better, but falsely so.
2. I worry about the asymptomatic FNs as they can be speaders and not know it. FPs suck for the individual because he'll take unnecessary precautions, but there's less societal impact. FNs suck for the society, because those felt to be negative are cruising around feeling free to spread.
3. If a test has a 3-7% FP rate, then it's pretty specific, not overly sensitive. If it says you have the disease, you most likely have the disease. If a test has a 30% FN rate, then it's not overly sensitive. If it says you don't have the disease, there's still a reasonable chance you have the disease.
So given that the pcr tests are specific (low FPs,5%) and not really sensitive for various reasons (high false negatives, maybe 30%), i think that a person who tests positive one day (95% chance they ARE positive) and negative the next (70% chance they're actually negative) more likely has the disease. The question is, if they test negative twice, does 95% confidence still trump 2 negatives with 70% confidence? Idk... Davie may have to use statistics there.
Anyway. That's what I've been thinking, which seems opposite of you. Who knows, brother? Again, may just be differing 30,000 foot views.
I think you have a little bit of a misinterpretation of what I said, likely because I didn't say it well.Mormad said:Wayland said:Mormad said:Wayland said:

The whole point is preventing outbreaks. We want to catch 'connectors' before they spread the virus because once all the connecting bridges are burned, it is a lot harder to spread.
If there is some diagnostic reason to be able to detect that someone had COVID sometime in the past 3 months, I don't care how much amplification you run the PCR test through. If you have a purpose, amplify away.
For the purposes of controlling spread, isolating an already non-infectious person makes no sense. So why do we care (outside the hospital/medical environment for treatment) if at some point in the past they had COVID?
We want to know if they are ACTUALLY INFECTIOUS right now. Which is why I say you go with the 'less sensitive' test that is only catching cases where there is enough virus to actually spread it.
The amount of time where the virus can be detected on the front end of the infection with PCR before someone is infectious is very short, so by the time you catch it with the PCR they would already be identified with a less sensitive test. The 'less sensitive' test would then NOT detect the long tail where the person is well past the infectious stage.
I can't vouch for the correctness of the science in this video, but the theory is great. Starting around the 5 minute mark.
Edit to add: The 3-7% is only in the specific presence of other coronaviruses. So if you did have something else circulating, it may be flagged. So you might want to be aware of what else might be active in the community. Not saying the OVERALL FP rate is that high... but if there are other active viruses in your community it COULD skew numbers. These are things that should be considered.
That was really great. And makes perfect sense. Thanks for sharing that.
Wonder how the school board got to 7.5 weeks for moving back to the classroom? I would assume that the plans are already in place since the original goal was for students to be in the classroom in late August.FlossyDFlynt said:

I believe that is due to the date of the new quarter. Basically predetermined when Wake said they were all remote for Q1.
I saw an infectious disease doctor (can't remember his name) a couple days ago, say the first vaccines that came out will not keep people from getting Covid-19. He said the first vaccines will reduce the seriousness of the disease should you get it. I guess that is so for a lot of vaccines.
Are you sure he meant on an individual level, and not simply that the first few vaccines would not totally eradicate the disease from the population?
I would be curious to know who this doctor is and to read what he said. I did find an interesting paper in The Lancet regarding the Covid vaccines and the potential that they will provide immunity. I have provided the link below for others to read. It does discuss the question of efficacy and the thresholds required for the vaccines to gain approval. The efficacy does not need to be 100% for approval and this may be what the doctor was referring to. It has been assumed most vaccines will only be 50-70% effective in reducing the spread of the virus, given the expected efficacy and the fact many people will chose not to get the vaccine.ciscopack said:

Wake County (other than dumping old deaths) is running about 200 cases ahead on their county site ahead of what DHHS has them at (this is unusual, they have been closely tied day in and day out). I can't see the cases on recent days, so I am predicting some kind of case dump of old cases must be coming soon.
May be a fluke but have been checking in on a theater I go to for future listings and found this - it sounds like they've been alerted that we'll have movie theaters open starting next Friday - maybe indicating that we will move into Phase 3?
https://www.ncdhhs.gov/news/press-releases/ncdhhs-adds-antigen-test-information-covid-19-dashboard
We will see if these are new or old data. I wonder if this was some of the 'data dump' that I was seeing.
Quote:
"Antigen positive cases make up a small percent (2%) of total COVID-19 cases and deaths (0.7%) in North Carolina, to date. Antigen positive cases and deaths have now been incorporated onto North Carolina's dashboards, resulting in 4,563 antigen positive cases and 25 deaths being added to the dashboards. NCDHHS has posted an FAQ that explains all data elements on the dashboard that have been updated and provides additional information on antigen and molecular testing."
We will see if these are new or old data. I wonder if this was some of the 'data dump' that I was seeing.
Will they report the total antigen tests, or just the positives?
Like I said, if you cant get hyped for the Carolina game, why are you here?

I wish I had paid closer attention and kept up where I saw and heard it. It was a man Dr. that I had heard of and I was probably doing something else while listening....that's what I got out of what he said and I may be off? I'll see if I can find it and him.Daviewolf83 said:I would be curious to know who this doctor is and to read what he said. I did find an interesting paper in The Lancet regarding the Covid vaccines and the potential that they will provide immunity. I have provided the link below for others to read. It does discuss the question of efficacy and the thresholds required for the vaccines to gain approval. The efficacy does not need to be 100% for approval and this may be what the doctor was referring to. It has been assumed most vaccines will only be 50-70% effective in reducing the spread of the virus, given the expected efficacy and the fact many people will chose not to get the vaccine.ciscopack said:
I saw an infectious disease doctor (can't remember his name) a couple days ago, say the first vaccines that came out will not keep people from getting Covid-19. He said the first vaccines will reduce the seriousness of the disease should you get it. I guess that is so for a lot of vaccines.
You can read the full paper in The Lancet here: What can we expect from the first-generation COVID-19 vaccines?
From your link...this is pretty much what he was saying.... "These observations suggest that we cannot assume COVID-19 vaccines, even if shown to be effective in reducing severity of disease, will reduce virus transmission to a comparable degree. The notion that COVID-19-vaccine-induced population immunity will allow a return to pre-COVID-19 "normalcy" might be based on illusory assumptions."

Wake County (other than dumping old deaths) is running about 200 cases ahead on their county site ahead of what DHHS has them at (this is unusual, they have been closely tied day in and day out). I can't see the cases on recent days, so I am predicting some kind of case dump of old cases must be coming soon.

Some severe COVID-19 cases linked to genetic mutations or antibodies that attack the body
Date:

Howard Hughes Medical Institute
Summary:
Two new studies offer an explanation for why COVID-19 cases can be so variable. A subset of patients has mutations in key immunity genes; other patients have auto-antibodies that target the same components of the immune system. Both circumstances could contribute to severe forms of the disease.

Wake County (other than dumping old deaths) is running about 200 cases ahead on their county site ahead of what DHHS has them at (this is unusual, they have been closely tied day in and day out). I can't see the cases on recent days, so I am predicting some kind of case dump of old cases must be coming soon.

^ Yep. Roy Boy absolutely botched it with the Congregate Facilties.
*Tell me how in the hell can a PROSPECTIVE Resident that is CURRENT Covid Positive be admitted to a Congregate Facility? That one still blows me away. Someone "in the business" posted that here 2-3 months ago already, but I sure as hell never read anything about it in the NC Press, nor from air quotes "Dr." Cohen... just amazing that they do that, but keep everything ****ing else shut down.
Political Clowns.

I still contend that something is 'off' with the hospitalizations number due to the fact that there are no statewide standards and definitions.
