Testing in Minnesota, August 26

Going to spend more time looking at testing as schools open.  My advice to parents–if your kids don’t have symptoms, don’t test them and don’t let them be tested.  All that will happen is they will be pointlessly sent home or schools will close.  In any event, we will especially track testing among those age groups in the next few weeks.  Minnesota has passed a dubious milestone, over 5 million Minnesotans have been tested at least once.  And it really has made a big difference in case levels, hasn’t it.   Thanks to Dave Dixon for the chart work.
