January 18 designated as Dr. Cardos day Dr. Cardos retired after 46 years of service BY BELEN WARD BWARD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Dr. Stephen Cardos after more than 46 years in since July 1975 serving generations of families children has retired and was honored by Brighton’s City Council with January 18th as Dr. Stephen Cardos day. “I feel thankful that my life’s work was meaningful and was appreciated,” said Dr. Cardos. Cardos was born in Brooklyn, New York and graduated from New York University Medical School and did his residency at Bellevue Hospital, New York. After leaving New York City in 1973 he spent two years in Omaha, Nebraska hospital, and then joined Air Force. “I was the chief of Pediatrics in the Air Force, at a very busy clinic,” said Dr. Cardos. Dr. Cardos wanted to be a doctor since was very young and also had asthma so he had lots of exposure being around doctors. It was one role model that inspired him and he knew going forward it was what he wanted to do. “It’s was tough especially when my friends were having parties- I was studying,” said Dr. Cardos. When training at Bellevue hospi-

tal Dr. Cardos was seeing primarily homeless people who were living on the streets or where ever. “It was very frustrating to have them as patients because you could get them all cleaned up to get rid of their body lice or all their diseasesthen two weeks later- they were back in the hospital with the same thing all over again,” Cardos said. It was so frustrating for Dr. Cardos and it gave a distorted view of what real medicine was like and also for the rest of the country. It was when he decided he wanted to go into pediatrics. “Kids are innocent and had no say over their social situation. It’s has been very enjoyable to work with children. Cardos moved to Brighton in April 1975, purchased a home, and started working in July at his practice. Also, he was the only pediatrician in all of Adams County for over 20-years. Before COVID, Dr. Cardos was slowing down was only seeing patients three days a week. Then COVID hit it was he stopped seeing patients. “The practice had a big decrease in the number of patients. You would think the opposite, everybody’s sick and would come in, but nobody came in because they were afraid,” he said. “So the practice went down and I stopped seeing patients and managed the practice for the next two years.” Best moments for Dr. Cardos, he had seen four to five cases of

It’s kind of nice that we all had long, long relationships.” In addition, Dr. Cardos has been involved with a lot of community SEE CARDOS, P4

Doctors speculate on what flu season will look like Omicron hinders data-gathering process for influenza BY THELMA GRIMES TGRIMES@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

With talk of COVID around the clock, winter is still a time for other illness and viruses, including influenza, which has reemerged this year

after being nearly non-existent in 2020-2021. Doctors across the Front Range said hospitals and clinics started seeing the flu pop up in October and November. Flu season generally lasts through mid-April, leaving doctors along the Denver metro area to say they are not quite sure what to expect as flu season moves into full swing. At Children’s Hospital Colorado, Dr. Suchitra Rao, a pediatric infec-

tious disease specialist, said they started treating young patients with the flu dating back to October. Rao said the number of cases doctors are seeing at various Children’s Hospital clinics in Douglas, Jefferson and Arapahoe counties are on par with what the levels used to be prepandemic. As of Jan. 27, Rao said Children’s Hospital has had 400 confirmed influenza cases, with 100 of them needing hospitalization.

DA Mason talks shop at Commerce City coffee house BY STEVE SMITH SSMITH@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Brian Mason, the district attorney for the 17th Judicial District, stopped by the Reunion Coffee House for a “Coffee with the DA” program Jan. 25. He drank tea instead. Mason talked about the role of his office, how the criminal justice system works and some of the factors – legal and otherwise – that go into decisions to try cases in court. ‘We don’t have the resources to try 60,000 cases in court, nor do we have the juries,” Mason said. “A large part of the job is training the staff to do the right thing and things that we should do to resolve cases. What is the suspect’s criminal history? What are the wishes of the victim? Some have been involved in crime for years. Some were desperate to feed their families and made one mistake.” The DA’s restorative justice program – mainly for lower levels of crime, such as property damage, possession of drugs -- is more than 40 years old. “It’s not possible for all criminals,” he said. “But we want them to succeed. It’s an outstanding program. It has to be a priority for the district attorney. It is for me.” A resident told Mason about

a number of late-night/early morning vehicle window smashes near the coffee house. A number of the cars were not locked; some were, and the suspects smashed windows, reached inside and took what they could. The resident, who has a certain amount of security equipment, asked about confrontations in situations such as this. Mason said that wasn’t a good idea. “There is one case, which has been publicly reported and I can’t go into a lot of details. But someone shot a person who was breaking into cars and killed them,” Mason said. “The belongings in your car aren’t as important as your life.” Mason offered alternatives. “Get as many details as you can – a license plate, a description of the car, a description of the folks who were there. Were they tall, heavy? Any other defining features,” he said. Mason told a resident he works with the various police and sheriff’s departments in both Adams and Broomfield counties. But he does not oversee them. “The chief is appointed by the city manager. We collaborate with them, but they don’t work for me,” he said. “When you call 9-1-1, the DA doesn’t respond. The police do. The job is to keep the community safe. That’s how I lead the office.”

Stretching Brighton’s water over three years Councilors discuss how to bridge water supply until new treatment facility is online BY SCOTT TAYLOR STAYLOR@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A new Brighton Water Treatment is scheduled to come online in 2024 but water customers could face summer restrictions or higher rates until it’s ready, City Councilors were told Jan. 25. A team of Brighton City staffers - Deputy City Manager Marv Falconburg, Utilities Director Brad Sherman and Finance Director Catrina Asher - outlined several ways at the meeting that the city could avoid running out of drinking water. Options included changing the city’s athletic fields and parks and how they are watered, changing the way drinking water is treated and encouraging citizens to limit their use voluntarily. The final options include higher rates for the Brighton residents that use most water each summer and mandatory water restrictions. “The final bullet point is the least palatable but a tool we may have to consider — implementing mandatory watering restrictions as many of our neighbors do if the water demand exceeds our supply,” Sherman told councilors. Councilor Peter Padilla said it’s way too early to discuss increasing water rates. “I can’t make decisions on things like rates when rate studies and proposals have not been presented,” Padilla said. “Nobody has asked for rate increase and I cannot offer an opinion on one yet.”

New plant in 2024 Councilors approved work on a new water treatment plant in November. Consultants Brown and Caldwell are designing that plant now, with plans to have it come online by the end of 2024. Until it comes online, the city can produce up to 12.5 gallons of water daily, Utilities Director Sherman said. That’s more than sufficient to supply water for the city for most of the year. Sherman said the city’s water

customers typically use about 3 million gallons per day for showers, toilets and drinking water. “That covers all of our indoor use — restaurants, schools, homes, apartment buildings, everything in town,” City Manager Michael Martinez said.This is why we can have so much impact. But once we start irrigating, you can see that curve goes up, from March to peaking in June.” The situation changes in the summer when it’s time to water lawns. Municipal use, for watering the city’s athletic fields and parks and for, accounts for another million gallons of water between March and October. But other irrigation, including commercial uses and private homes watering their lawns, accounts for up to 9 million gallons per day, especially during the hottest months of the summer, June, July and August. Sherman said Brighton’s utilities staff work hard to make sure the city doesn’t run out of treated water. The city can store up to 16 million gallons at any given time but an especially hot day with dry lawns can run through that quickly. “This is what the guys at the plant face every day,” Falconburg said. “You have 16 million gallons in storage and you can pump a maximum of 13.5 million gallons a day, but not everyday. You can do 12.5 million regularly. But it starts drawing down and if something goes wrong — a pump goes out, a well goes out, some equipment goes down or you have a problem with a tank or electricity or a storm that knocks everything out — that just drains the system and in 24 hours you are in very serious trouble.” Water usage is only expected to rise as the city grows, he said. Long term Falconburg said the city has two long term options to supply enough water year round. One would cost the city an additional $100 million but would let the city

treat enough water each day that it should have no problem meeting demand until 2030 or later. A more expensive $150 million option would extend the facility’s life until 2045 or later, based on population growth forecasts. Councilor Padilla said he favored the more expensive option. “The idea of going with a more effective long term plan is incredibly appealing to me,” Padilla said. But Councilor Adam Cushing said he didn’t think that would be an option. “We have been told option 2 is out of the question,” Cushing said. “There is no way we could cross the finish line.” Short term But no matter what Brighton does about the water treatment plant, there is still the next three years to consider. Falconburg said the city has already started converting some athletic fields from turf to artificial turf and is aggressively looking to build a non-potable system so the city can water its fields and parks with untreated water. “We are lucky to have a Parks and Rec department that is onboard with that, sees the value

and is helping us out with it,” Sherman said. Councilors have signed agreement with South Adams Water to supply an additional 500,000 gallons per day and is looking at adjusting the water mix to get an additional 500,000 gallons per day. “As soon as the weather allows, they have the designs going and done and get the ground broken to get that going,” he said. “And we are working on agreements to make sure we can pick up that extra 500,000 gallons a day as soon as we can get it.” But the biggest solution could be a voluntary campaign to get Brighton residents to reduce their water consumption, especially during hot summer days. “Last year we had that long string of days of 100-degree-plus days back to back. It came early and it was really kind of scary,” s Sherman said. “But then you had o unpredictable things like wildfires H that produced a plume of smoke l over the entire town and it kept us 3 from having the sun get us up to n 100. We could see demand drop.” He said he’s planning to update t councilors regularly on newer strategies to reduce demand or increase supply.

Chief academic officer in 27J becomes district’s deputy superintendent District says change made solely as a part of district’s succession planning STAFF REPORT

27J Schools in Brighton changed its district organizational structure and, in the process, creates a line of succession if Superintendent Chris Fiedler cannot make decisions for the district. He appointed Will Pierce to be the deputy superintendent at the Jan. 25 meeting of the 27J Schools board of education. The appointment was effective Feb. 1. District spokeswoman Janelle Asmus said the board’s executive succession policy requires a plan to delegate the superintendent’s responsibilities if the superin-

tendent is not available for such reasons as travel, transition in positions or medical issues. Pierce’s salary, roles, duties or job description won’t change. “27J Schools is so fortunate to have such an extraordinary educational leader in Will Pierce. It makes sense to fulfill our succession planning needs with an experienced district leader who’s already passionately serving, leading, and supporting academic success for every student attending our 27J Schools,” Fiedler said in a statement. Pierce earned his bachelor’s degree from Western State College, where he was a standout basketball player and caught the eye of scouts from the NBA. He turned away from thoughts of professional basketball in favor of becoming an educator. He later earned his masters degree from

the University of Denver and recently completed the administrator licensure program at the University of Colorado-Denver. Pierce has been with the district for 20 years. His first stop was as the first principal for two new elementary schools, Pennock and West Ridge. The district’s statement said his leadership vision and organizational skills were big reasons why he was tapped to open two different schools. He eventually moved into the role of the district’s director of student achievement and then to chief academic officer. “Will Pierce has been successful in every role he’s had in 27J,” Fiedler said. “I have every confidence our students, staff, parents and community will continue to reap the benefits of such a dedicated and successful leader who embodies our four core values of

‘All-In, Believe and Integrity as we hold true to our mission “Empowering every student today to take control of their future tomorrow.’” Asmus said the move did not come with an expectation of a future promotion. The board has the responsibility to hire the superintendent. “I have been extremely blessed to have been surrounded, pushed, inspired and influenced by so many amazing people,” Pierce said in the statement. “The service of and the collaboration with others has humbled me in so many ways as a leader and a learner. 27J is full of professional capital, and I hope my leadership can continue to enhance our collective capacity as we work to be the school district our students, families and staff members can believe in most.”

the space, the Methodist Church provided blankets, and the Presbyterian Church provided food,” Dr. Cardos said. With a change of priests at the Catholic Church, the new priests did not want to use the basement as a shelter anymore. “So the committee that was helping with this we decided we need to build a shelter and that eventually became “Almost Home,” said Dr. Cardos.

“It’s doing very well. It was a small little operation with one person, one family and now we have a bigger house for six families.” The Future Dr. Cardos has a wife, four kids, and 10 grandchildren. Has love for music and plays classical guitar. His real passion is ballroom dancing and also does some teaching of the dance. Also, he likes to cook, do photography, and plans to do some traveling.

VOICES A gentle answer turns away wrath

or every minute of anger, you give up 60 seconds of peace of mind.” — Ralph Waldo Emerson The title of this column comes from an old proverb. And it seemed such an appropriate reminder for the current state of the world we are living in today, that I wanted to share it with you. I also wanted to share something else with you. I believe in the awesome power of hope. I believe that there is more goodness in the world than bad. And I believe there are more people doing good things than bad people doing bad things. And I believe that there are far more kind and gentle people in the world than there are angry people. Yet what seems to make the news and find its way to our social media feed and stories are the angry, violent, and hateful events that are taking place. So, it could easily make us all wonder if what I said I believe in, in the paragraph above, is true. I was fascinated by an article I read last week about a young woman who decided to go back to a

phone that can only make and receive calls and send and receive text messages. Her reasons resonated with me and mirrored some of what I wrote about in a previous column last month. The need to stop scrolling and being Michael Norton so preoccupied with what’s happening on our phones and being more involved with the people right in front of us. Although I agree with her reasons about being more present in the moment and involved in life, I also think that we are being fed so much negative information that we can’t help but fall into the trap of becoming angry, lashing out at others and saying things we normally wouldn’t say. Or we spend hours being angry and depriving ourselves of hours of finding peace of mind. I started using this made-up word to describe what I see as the

WINNING WORDS

problem, attackusation. When I do watch the news or read online stories it is no longer about someone just attacking someone else physically or verbally, they feel compelled to attack their opinion, decision, or action and then go after them on a personal level making accusations that are most often false. And they aren’t satisfied with attacking or accusing just that person, they attack and accuse their family and friends. Is this really what has become of our society? Let’s go back to what I said earlier that there is more goodness in the world than bad. Andrew Carnegie said, “You expect to move tons of dirt to find an ounce of gold, but you don’t go into the mine looking for the dirt, you go in looking for the gold.” If we want to find the bad, we can find it for sure. The question is do we want to? And if we do, why? I mean some people go around looking for the bad like there is some kind of prize or reward for finding the bad. None of us has all the answers, but I do know that I can pass along a few simple suggestions. First,

turn off the sources where we are being fed the negative fuel that drives our anger. Second, focus on the good, the goodness, and the good people that are all around us. And lastly, change our vocabulary to avoid words of anger and hate to words of love, gentleness, kindness, compassion, and forgiveness. Will these three little suggestions work? They will work if you apply them. How about you? Is it time to change your input so you can change your output? Are you searching for the bad or are you looking for the good? And is it time to change your vocabulary and focus on words of hope and encouragement? I would love to hear your story at mnorton@tramazing.com, and when we can turn away the wrath and anger for the good and kind, it really will be a better than good year. Michael Norton is the grateful CEO of Tramazing.com, a personal and professional coach, and a consultant, trainer, encourager, and motivator to businesses of all sizes.

In defense of truth and ethics in politics

ave you noticed how offkilter our political moral compass is? There are fact-check organizations to catch public falsehoods and untruths, but I’m wondering about our internal ethical checkpoints. If what’s happening publicly is a reflection of what’s occurring privately, it appears we’re in a moral crisis together. Federally, we’ve recently seen examples of both honor and shame of elected officials (from all sides of the aisle). On the floor of the U.S. Senate last week, we saw senators explicitly lie and obstruct the reauthorization of a voting rights bill foundational to our Constitution. Their false justification? An arcane rule they claim must not be broken (although it’s been changed over 150 times throughout history for other legislation far less important). In Colorado, we’re not immune to unethical antics either. Currently, a county clerk is under a grand jury investigation and faces ethics complaints over allegations of abusing her official privileges to steal election infor-

mation and distribute it to her partisan colleagues. In our Colorado state legislature last week, several legislators attempted to support the false allegations of our elections being stolen and also support the Linda Newell unlawful 2021 insurrection at our nation’s Capitol. Honorably, only one legislator broke from his party to defend the truth and the Constitution. That’s a person with integrity. Politically, some of this is not new, unfortunately. When I ran for my second term in the state Senate, there were outright lies about me that were published in a fake online newspaper crafted by the opposition party leaders. Gratefully, I was the victor of that election in spite of that. But afterward, our relationships were strained for quite some time. Although now it seems we’re at a precipice as a society.

with each other? We’re dealing with a plethora of perceived realities that don’t align with the truth — the facts of our history, or Constitution, or science, for example. These are not limited to only public servants. These untruths are among all of us. I acknowledge that some people may misspeak unknowingly. They may just be misinformed. I’ve been there and have had to correct myself for sure. But to purposely, divisively, steer people away from the truth is a different story. Why do certain people speak and vote with integrity and others lie? (That’s actually a loaded question for a whole other article.) I’m not claiming to be a purist. I still sometimes feel guilty about lying to my kids about Santa. But I do believe that every time we lie we not only harm others but ourselves as well. Our bodies keep the score and those large or small infractions etch away at our physical or emotional health. So, if that’s true, what are we doing collectively to the body of our community, our state, our nation? No wonder we’re hanging onto our democracy by a thread.

So, where is our moral compass leading us? As our elected officials are a mirror of the population they serve, what does that say about all of us whom they represent? I intimately understand the political pressures of serving as an elected official, and I’m sure I was not always perfect while in office. But I do believe it’s incumbent on each of our public servants (and constituents) to at least tell the truth and vote based on that truth. As all of us feel these moral dilemmas crowding around us, may they inspire us to live ethical lives personally and publicly. May we call each other in and hold each other to account for telling the truth and upholding our elemental integrity.

Boys basketball: BHS bests Westminster BY JONATHAN MANESS SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

WESTMINSTER – The Brighton high school boys basketball team grew up in a big way Jan. 27. The Bulldogs held off a resilient Westminster squad, holding on for a 62-57 victory and picking up their first win in the Class 5A East Metro Athletic Conference. “They grew up,” Brighton coach Rolando Davila said. “I challenged the guys (Thursday), they responded and that is part of growing up.” It wasn’t easy, as the Wolves just wouldn’t go away, especially with the sharpshooting of Erick Jones. Jones, who had a game-high 21 points, hit a trey and found freshman Sammy Barajas for another 3-pointer to cut the deficit to three points with 50 seconds left in the contest. But Brighton hit its free throws down the stretch to seal the victory. The win ended a five-game losing streak for the Bulldogs and gave the team some confidence as they continue in league play. The Bulldogs were on the road Feb. 1, after press time, at Northglenn and then host league-rival Adams City Friday, Feb. 4. “We needed this win,” Davila said. “Winning isn’t easy, it takes work, and the guys worked for this win.” Westminster came of the gates quickly, with big shots from Thomas Kennedy and Armando Gomez to give the Wolves an early 9-3 advantage. But foul trouble became a factor, with Gomez having to leave the game with a pair of early fouls. Brighton’s Sean Wadsworth hit a trey to cut the lead to 15-13 after the

first quarter. The Bulldogs opened the second with an 11-4 run, taking advantage of their size in the post. Six-foot-4 Brett Vonau scored on back-to-back putbacks to force Westminster to call a timeout. The Wolves answered with their own run to end the quarter. Kennedy scored a fast-break basket and then drained a 3-pointer as the two squads ended the first half tied with 28 points each. Davila challenged his squad at the half, and the Bulldogs responded with a 12-point run. D’wayne Galery hit a trey, while Wadsworth and Vonau each added a pair of baskets. However, the Wolves weren’t going away especially with Jones leading the charge. The junior guard and Dre Gayton combined to score seven points in 10 seconds. Jones also added two big treys late in the quarter to cut the deficit to 50-47 going into the final period. “It was a fun game. Props to Westminster. They weren’t going anywhere,” Davila said. “Our guys played with a lot of heart, and they found a way to win.” Wadsworth and Vonau each had a double-double for Brighton. Wadsworth finished with 20 points and 10 rebounds, while Vonau had 16 and 11. Senior Lorenzo Wilson gave Westminster valuable minutes in the second half, pulling down seven rebounds in the contest – including five on the offensive side. Westminster (4-8 overall, 0-2 5A in the East Metro Athletic Conference) will look to end its three-game slide this week, with four games on the schedule.

She has

done every aspect of coaching and understands what it takes to be a great assistant. Jocelyn is a relentless recruiter, and I cannot wait to see the talent she will find for our program.” Garcia played Libero/defensive specialist for four seasons as a student-athlete at Concordia University in Nebraska and totaled 1,594 career digs.

FLU FROM PAGE 1

flu cases again decreased, she said. When asked what would cause the change, Rao said doctors are looking at a variety of reasons. “The reasons why are not clear,” Rao said. “Could be people started wearing more masks with more restrictive policies in place. There are some other theories too.” Rao said one theory that cannot yet be confirmed is that omicron ran “viral interference” to influenza. “The theory is that one respiratory virus takes over and others go away,” she said. Dr. Eric Hill, a HealthOne emergency room physician at the Medical Center of Aurora, said the HealthOne network saw cases drop off as omicron came into view. However, Hill said some of that might be because hospitals are stressed and testing for COVID is

a priority, which means labs were testing less for the influenza. “The need of resource to battle omicron skyrocketed, putting a massive drain on the testing labs,” he said. “Unless it was a musthave, the flu tests were not done. COVID really has drained the system.” Dr. Ben Usatch, an emergency medicine physician and medical director for UCHealth Hospital Highlands Ranch, said he would argue without proof that omicron was just so much more contagious that it spread throughout the region much faster and with more force than influenza can. Like Children’s Hospital, Hill said that before omicron, adult flu cases were comparative to the days before the COVID pandemic. However, now, doctors are not sure what to expect for the remainder of the flu season, Hill said. “With the expectation that omicron cases are going to start to drop, whether that means influenza has a chance to grab hold again

After being non-existent last year, the flu season is back with cases present along SHUTTERSTOCK the Front Range in December.

— we don’t know,” Hill said. Usatch said after a nonexistent flu season last year, it’s hard to even consider what to expect in the coming months. To truly protect the community, Usatch said, getting the flu vaccine and COVID vaccine should be a priority.

“Getting these shots not only protects you, but it provides protection to your family and the community,” he said. “A virus is a virus. Some flus are more concerning than others because of the pneumonia factor. The flu season is still young and getting protected is important.” Rao and Hill said it is not too late to get the flu shot this season, adding that it is better late than never. Doctors say flu and COVID symptoms are similar. Anyone with symptoms, Rao said, should first be tested for COVID. After that, other diagnosis options can be explored. Hill said a big difference between COVID and the flu is the high fever. COVID presents with a lower-level fever, while the flu causes much higher temperatures, he said. While the flu can primarily be treated with fluid and over-thecounter medications, Usatch said anyone struggling to breathe should get to a doctor immediately.

The idea behind home rapid COVID tests How to use them, when and why they matter BY CLAIRE CLEVELAND COLORADO PUBLIC RADIO

During the holidays, lots of Coloradans relied on rapid COVID-19 tests to determine whether they should gather for parties, visit with friends and family or stay home. But those tests weren’t widely available at local pharmacies. And when they were, the prices could be exorbitantly high. Dr. Richard Zane, director of emergency services at UCHealth, said he gets asked a few times a week about finding at-home tests and how often his patients should test themselves for COVID-19, especially as the omicron variant rips through the state. According to state data, this week nearly 26 percent of PCR tests have come back positive.

“I think that the public, over the course of the last two years, has gotten remarkably mixed messages about testing,” Zane said. “I feel for people because they are getting messages, like go buy over-the-counter tests and test your family before you have a party — things that are scientifically ludicrous.” How at-home tests are different from PCR tests The first thing that’s important to understand, Zane said, is that antigen tests — which are the rapid, at-home tests — are fundamentally different from PCR tests (the ones that take several days to get results for), which are understood as the gold standard for detecting COVID-19. A rapid test looks for antigens, which are what the immune system responds to, while a PCR test detects the virus itself. Antigen tests are more likely to detect COVID-19 if a person is experiencing symptoms or has a high

viral load, while the PCR can detect a relatively small amount of virus and therefore may detect the virus earlier in the disease process. Zane said it’s best to think about a rapid test result as positive or indeterminate. If the test comes back positive, you should isolate, seek medical care if you need it. If the rapid test is not positive, “it’s as though you didn’t do the test,” he said. With rapid tests, results really depend on the point in time. If the test was taken during the earliest phase of an infection, the test could return a false negative. Some of the at-home tests have a sensitivity of about 85 percent. That means 85 percent of people who are infected are detected by the test while the other 15 percent of infected people are missed. In some studies, the reliability of these tests has been found to be even lower. Using tests before parties or other gatherings

WINTER AIR DUCT CLEANING SPECIALS

So back to that big party that has you wondering whether or not to attend. That’s when the real issue with relying on rapid tests comes into play. These at-home tests may detect some positive cases and rule those people out from going to the party (or a concert or the office). But the tests could miss other people who actually have the virus and could spread it to others when they show up. “You’ll decrease the number of people who are positive and spreading disease. So it could become a safer party,” Zane said. “But the people who don’t have a positive test, they should interpret it as though they didn’t do the test.” The rapid tests can help to minimize spread, but they’re most effective when combined with vaccines, masks and limiting gatherings.
