This article is absolute garbage. The numbers are intentionally misleading. For example, Uconn is listed as 112 cases.

The cases in question are actually 90 cases among healthcare workers in Farmington, CT at the Uconn Hospital. The other 22 are Uconn employees that have been exclusively teleworking and have not set foot on campus or in any Uconn facility since March.

Not a single class is a student or employee that has had physical contact with the campus.

+1 This is bad data meant to scare people and sell papers. You need to dig into the numbers some more.

College kids can isolate from older populations. Even if they get sick, they will stay in their dorms and get immunity.

And kill their professors...

Why can’t colleges open the dorms and let the kids take classes online?
My kid doesn’t care if her classes are online. She wants to be around people.

Maybe you both don’t grasp that “being around people” is a problem until the pandemic is under control.

You only care about yourself. You’re clearly the overdramatic faculty member that posts here every day.

Not really. There are few students at school now and you already have problem. When they come back it will spread like wild fire. How do we know? Just look at what happen in Texas and Florida. You think college kids living in a dorm, eating meals with a bunch of other kids and socializing will not get infected and spread it to others? I guess you will be the first to say oh who could have every seen this coming?

If every modern pandemic schools are a major vector of spread.

Bad data is still bad data, whether or not you agree with the author’s agenda. This is clearly intended to use the biggest numbers they can find associated with a university name and then try to make the case against colleges opening. It would be more believable if the author wasn’t a snake. As is, it’s TP

Same here. They have less side effects than having the flu. The media is going to be all over these numbers is a fear factoring way. None of them are even in a hospital. Almost all of them aren't even showing symptoms. Now they have it and will move on.

Jesus the issue isn't just will the kids be ok, but will they spread it throughout the entire community and by community I mean the WHOLE town. They don't live in a bubble. Plus we don't know that the immunity after the infection is enduring - they won't be immune forever!

A lot of professors are old as dirt.

I wish people would stop focusing on students. That isn’t the issue. Workplace safety is the issue.

Wow. I'm used to seeing numbers taken out of context, but this one is just willfully misleading. Disgusting.

But the same students would be spreading it at home. Colleges and universities are testing them regularly, requiring behavior contracts, social distancing etc.

It’s a lot better than house parties at home or the beach.

Got a cite for that PP (“every modern pandemic schools are a major vector of spread”)?

I don't know how you parent your kids but mine are at home. One or two friends over outside in the pool far apart. Not everyone is a horrible person and expecting nothing of their children.
