Students had to be tested before they returned to campus and had to submit the test results to the school. Are students now showing symptoms, fever, loss of smell/taste?

Do you spend your entire pathetic little life "peeping through the window" at The University of Alabama?
Are you that jealous and envious?
Man, that place has literally consumed you.

Wait until it kills one of your family members (like it has with my family) and get back to me.

It is scary how quickly this disease is running through the student population
i wouldn't say that at all. college students are the most social creatures. they drink after each other. eat after each other. are not the most hygenic age group. and you know they're getting it on a lot more than usual after being cooped up. i don't think it's any surprise at all

Exactly!

And they're also the least likely to die from this virus.

The measures being taken are to keep everyone from getting it at once. The fact is, most people are probably going to get it at some point. If it can be staggered out, it’s not that big of a deal to most people. But if it runs rampant and overwhelms an already poor healthcare system, it can become a huge problem.


This line was tired and overused by the middle of April and people are still going with it?

Update; Hearing from parents, and from current students that they may be about to sent home anytime. It’s a race between bama and Auburn on who quits first.


It'll be Bama. They want to avoid that opening game at any cost !

My son is a student at AU and has friends at UA. He said at least 4 of his friends at UA have it now and many at AU. He has a Frat Brother that is a walk-on at AU and he said many of AUs players had it this past summer and Gus is pretty much isolating the players from the rest of the University population. I wouldn't be surprised to see the schools go online again, but still have a football season.

My son's a student at UA, this shite ran through his fraternity as well as through his AU friends back in Feb-March when there was no testing. If kids didn't get it 5 mos ago, they're getting it now.

Nothing is about to become overwhelmed. There are millions upon millions of doctors. So many some are struggling to make a living. And that is what about 90% of people need. A prescription. Nowadays even nurses can write one. And there is a pharmacy on every corner, so many some of them cannot make a go. Quit trying to make an end of times of a contagious virus that in most cases I personally am aware of is less potent than the everyday flu. Not the horror stories but the ones I know of first hand. An old, fat person with heart trouble or other serious disease is a different breed of cat. I'm 75 and go and come daily to public places including a gym where I am maybe the only person who wears a mask and no virus cases have been reported.

Truly sorry for your loss, but there are two reasons for the number of deaths. One, states never tried to isolate older or high risk individuals the way they should. Instead, they chose to try and mask/isolate the entire country. I hope we've now learned that it will never work.

Two, states prevented families from removing their loved ones from nursing homes.

My Mother suffers from pulmonary fibrosis. C19 would kill her in a few days. She has isolated herself for almost three months now and our family has little to no contact with her.

Protect those most at risk. It didn't happen.

If you realized how truly useless mask wearing by the GP is you would delete this post.

My son had it in July, along with many of his friends. One of his friends is a football player who had 7 other players around him get it. They figured he had already contacted it in Feb, before they tested for it. The Universities need to do an antibody test before they decide to shut it down.

Is this a serious question? A negative test result submitted weeks ago has no bearing on whether they become infected once they get to campus. Or even catching it before arriving on campus and bringing it with them.

A ton of students already had this virus, AND tested negative before they returned to campus. My son had this shite in March when there were no tests for it. Many of his friends at AU and UA also had it.

Kids that didn’t get it in the spring are likely getting it now. I just don’t think this is a cause to panic and threaten the student population like Alabama is doing.

Some of the parents with college students living in Athens told me UGA is eaten up with it. I don’t understand why they would allow dorm late to be open. My town got ravaged by coronavirus and in many cases the deaths came from the same residence because there were multiple families living under the same roof

The real question is if they shut Auburn due to COVID-19 would the rest of the SEC care?
