p.s. The very high rate of asymptotic cases is interesting data. Usually, people aren't routinely being tested so there is self-selection bias. But they are on some college campuses. OTOH, the positivity rate is *so* low that some of these could be false positives. — PolitiTweet.org

@JenniferNuzzo They're already doing regular surveillance testing. And if they can't handle this very low caseload, that's on them and shouldn't result in substantial burdens to the students. Again, almost nobody is sick from COVID in this 98% vaccinated campus. — PolitiTweet.org

In any event, the goal is to prevent severe outcomes and death. Out of 15,000 people tested in the 98% vaccinated Duke community, there are NO cases severe enough to wind up in the hospital. Yet they're imposing substantial new burdens on students. *This* is losing the plot. — PolitiTweet.org
