quote:If they have 531 positives in Tuscaloosa there are probably 10x that number who actually currently have it. UA needs to stay the course and simply manage the outbreak on campus, because the student population will likely have almost zero serious complications from the virus, and because the last thing they need to be doing (for a number of reasons) is panicking, shutting down campus, and shipping off thousands of asymptomatic carriers to their parents and grandparents around the country.
UA has 531 of the 566. Uncool.

Also, if anyone here is worried about contracting COVID because you or someone you live with is at-risk, I would recommend avoiding gatherings that include students currently on campus at universities, at least for the near term. They will almost all be exposed by the end of the semester.

Well, they certainly didn't think it through. The offshoot of their decision to lock down campus is the kids are migrating off campus to have some normality and some social interaction. They shut down the bars for 14 days, so there are already rumors of the frats renting space off campus to have gatherings and parties. Kids can't eat in the dining halls or Greek houses and are already sick of that grab-n-go shite so they are eating off campus in restaurants. The results are mama and daddy are spending money on a dining plan that the kids can't/won't use and the kids are being driven off campus into the community where the rules are up to them and the general public and we all know how hit and miss that is. The end result is you are in all probability increasing the occurance of the virus both in the community and on campus due to the increased interaction with the population at large.
