Well, sororities and fraternities are living on borrowed time. Now would be a good time to eliminate them from campuses. A sorority was responsible for the UNC issues.Quote:

It always gives me a chuckle when an entity tests an entire population and are suprised when a portion of that population has the virus. I'm just thinking...what were they expecting? The college and under age group are one of the most infected populations right now but are also the most asymptomatic or mild case populations. I would imagine for every 1 college student that has symptoms AND goes and gets tested there are probably an additional 5-6 that are asymptomatic/mild that never get tested....and that's conservative. The CDC indicates infection rates are 10x higher than they initially thought.Quote:

Nah, you won't have hundreds at an apartment party.Quote:

Not sure it's going to make a practical difference as far as how quickly covid spreads. And if I were going to bet on how Starkville will react, I am guessing they will stay on brand and make things worse by busting up parties that are flowing into apartment parking lots and other open spaces and ensuring any partying is done in as tight of quarters as possible.Quote:

Well that's not good... most since July 30th. I'm not gonna freak out about it though considering the really low reports on Sunday and Monday.Quote:

It is 100% unavoidable with a new population being formed when colleges and schools start back. It...will...happen. After about 4-8 weeks the numbers will spike downward again once they hit 20% - 25% infection rate. Also, there will be far fewer deaths and hospitalizations with this spike due to the age range that will be most impacted (10 - 25 yoa).Quote:
