Utah leaders want to require that all college students in the state get tested for COVID-19 once a week.
A mandate that would enforce that is expected to be announced early next week as part of Gov. Gary Herbert’s plans to address the record-setting spread of the virus — which has spiked with schools reopening this fall. The measure would apply to more than 230,000 students across the state.
Utah Senate President Stuart Adams, who has worked with Herbert to draft the requirement, confirmed to The Salt Lake Tribune on Friday that it is in the works.
“It’s not a rumor,” he said. “The virus is spiking all over the country. And there are multiple reasons why. One is that colleges and universities have gone back.”
Adams said the rollout is expected to start Monday, but he cautioned it will be gradual. “This will be a mammoth undertaking,” he added.
The primary focus will be those who are attending in-person classes. But under the plan, students at the state’s eight public universities, as well as the eight technical colleges, will be required to get a coronavirus test weekly....

Who wants to have a swab shoved up into their brain once a week? These assholes could end up damaging people’s nasal passages with that much swabbing. Are they nuts? Did medical people approve this, or did some public bureaucrat who won’t be going through it themselves?

All they need to do is take people’s temperatures, and not do an invasive procedure that has caused harm on occasion, and even one death that we know of. As far as I know, taking someone’s temperature is far more accurate for detecting illness than an invasive test that isn’t 100% accurate.
Some UT “officials “ are absolute nitwits , What’s new ? ??

Most weekly tests ate just nadal. Not the brain swab. But it makes it more likely to be false neg. You might as well just wave a swab over therir toes. Its a frrl good measure. Ploitics.
WHO is paying for all those tests???
How long does it take for results to come back???
They’ll probably use a saliva test.
If they send it to a lab, it’ll likely take one to two days to come back.
If they were really serious about public health, they’d use the quick tests.
This has NEVER been about public health.
Note to students: Ask which Ct threshold the lab is using. Just a suggestion.
Thanks for the info. These people are nuts.
