UK has told professors to get ready to move classes on line. IU and Purdue are also on the list of schools suspending classes. Things gonna get interesting.

One must wonder, if its just the flu, why close schools down, is it worse than theyre sayin?

One of my coworkers is also an adjunct at UofL and they’ve had the same discussions. The concerns is these students are traveling all over for spring break and likely bringing back cases to their regions. The other issue is it’s presenting as a cold in young, health individuals but can be deadly for immunocompromised students or those over 60.

The largest fear is its a relatively unknown virus and the more it spreads the higher the likelihood it will mutate. And it’s a crap shoot whether it mutates into a less severe strain or it gets worse.
