This thread ends with "be smarter" but every stage is societal, not individual and the rapid test is the *best* part, not the problem. The family goes to work unmasked, has large "bubble", employs older nanny with no primary care doctor & own kids. Problem isn't the living room.https://twitter.com/darakass/status/1343754550562459648 …

That family employing the nanny has an open network, not a "bubble." The nanny doesn't have the luxury of the "just stay at home!" crowd plus she's at the mercy of the employer's open network. And the original mom needs a way to see her son: with tests, maybe outdoors & masks.

Don't provide widespread testing; don't support people so they can stop working at the mercy of irresponsible employers; no primary care network; allow unmasked workplaces; don't provide advice on safely meeting & expect people to never see their kids... Of course it won't work.

Yes the son and the rapid test are not at all central to what's going on. If anything, that seems to be the only stage there was any sensible attempt at employing a public health measure. (Though older brother not alerting them to symptoms immediately...)https://twitter.com/a_haema/status/1344675936445362178 …

That's exactly right. Plus, that family has no "bubble" whatsoever. The word appears to have lost its meaning. Family employs nanny, plus mom has six co-workers who work together unmasked plus who knows what else... A real bubble is very hard to sustain. https://twitter.com/Valentine721/status/1344674128649998336 …

I agree that the problem isn't the rapid test, but I retweeted it because until there's some kind of governmental will to make it easier to be safer, the only thing I myself can do is avoid being inside with people I don't live with, and more people should do that if they can!

Agreed. Real rapid testing would mean the son would have tested again the following day, realized he was pos, and everyone would have hunkered down. The mom wouldnt go to work because she’d be testing herself daily, etc. There is no perfect test nor anything good about isolation.

Or when did common sense quarantine ot come into play if the 20 year old male wanted to visit home. Get a test great your negative “now”. Now isolate for 10 days prior to visit. If you can’t don’t go.

IDK why people are flocking en masse to large testing sites (like Dodger Stadium), as if being tested somehow protects them from COVID-19 infection, if they didn't have it before, they have a better chance of getting it by gathering near others who do!

Seeing guidance that at scale, antigen testing works best when there's potential exposure, or otherwise a higher probability of testing positive. Thoughts?
