Shit. This sucks. Students on campus have to ‘shelter in place.’

Are they targeting 0 cases? If so, not going to happen.

5 cases seems like it should almost be expected.

I could see this happening from a mile away. How many students died>?

Get those kids back in the classroom! The odds of anything bad happening to them are slim to none. If you are worried about the instructors, wear masks, distance, wash your damned hands frequently and don’t touch your face!

To be fair - they’ve never been ‘in the classroom’ this fall. It has all been online so far. The reality appears that it could be all semester which I don’t think makes for a very good education.

It seems to be a recurring theme across a lot of universities: It's not the classroom that's the problem, it's the "social activities" and off-campus parties. Are we surprised? I can't imagine students in my time doing anything different.

A COVID diagnosis is not a death sentence. The university needs to get a grip.

Agreed. And not just for 18 - 22 year olds...

I hate this shit. It needs to end. Enough.
