Any idea of MSU (or any MS university) are going all online this semester?

[Indndawg]

Hearing that other schools scattered around the country are starting out this semester on line

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Why?

[Choctaw Dawg]

No chance, Mississippi State is not doing that again no matter how bad things get. This isn't March 2020 anymore

[SteelCurtain74]

Jackson State just announced they were going to online this spring. They are also requiring students to provide a negative PCR test before moving into student housing.

And it isn't October 2021 now either. If the numbers get bad in Mississippi the pressure will be on to shut down in class learning again.

Numbers...positive cases or hospitalizations?

Everyone gonna get the Covid whether they are vaxxed boosted or unvaxxed.

We?ve all either had it or been exposed to it. And will get it again and again. She?s here to stay. As long as a virus has animal hosts, humans will have to live with it.

If they didn't do it with cases heightened up as the Delta variant was spreading in August, why would they shut down now?

Highly unlikely on both fronts.

[Bothrops]

What reason? We have flu season every year and you can get a shot for it.

[starkvegasdawg]

Omicron may end up being a blessing in disguise. 4 day new case total for MS is over 17,500 but only five deaths. Reports of this variant being highly contagious but much less lethal may be accurate. If so, we could be speeding towards herd immunity.

Dumb.

Why? They could be negative on Monday and Positive on Tuesday.

Maybe. I've heard a doctor talk about that but the virus is doing just what the real experts said it would do. Variants get more contagious but weaker until it fizzles out. That is where we are now it appears.

I only know a few people who have had it twice and 2nd time was much better. Natural immunity works again just like the real experts said. We just haven't had enough people actually get it yet. The vax didn't produce the needed immunity, but natural will.

2 years of phycological warfare on American public with scare tactics and misinformation.

Agree it is the only way we will get there, we are getting closer. I've had it and have natural immunity. Been around all kinds of people with it, etc. Never got it again. God's way works. Best thing for anyone is get it and not have a bad case of it or get good treatments to minimize the effects.

No it wont. The numbers are almost double the previous all time high and nobody cares.

[Catfish]

Don't shut the students out again!!!

A deeper dive will probably reveal all of the deaths are from Delta Variant.
