Is Notre Dame screwing up?

Right, who cares who Notre Dame ends up killing with their recklessness as long as it’s not a student or faculty.

Corona was in South Bend before kids went back to school. Only in your unhinged hallucinations are you able to trace nursing home deaths to partying college kids. Give it a rest, sweetie.

Sweetie, you're uninformed. Do you understand what community spread it? What do you think will happen when Notre Dame sends its students back home, all across the country? Do you think that the only people in nursing homes are the elderly? How do you think institutions like colleges and nursing homes actually run? Do you realize how many non-students come into contact with colleges and nursing homes who are NOT students or the infirm? There could very well be only two degrees of separation between a college student and nursing home resident. Let me give you an example--partying college kid comes into contact with dining hall worker. Dining hall worker has night shift at the nursing home, delivering meals to elderly residents. Can you connect the dots? This is what community spread means.

More hysteric hallucinations. You should be a soap opera writer.

Sorry you're too dense to understand.

Notre Dame is flattening the curve. Today only 22 cases and positivity of 9% (down from 16% the previous day--which also included testing the football team). These numbers do not include any surveillance testing (which begins today), so that positivity should improve if students can keep it locked down over the weekend.

There is hope on campus. Here is a message from campus leadership and the health department to students this afternoon. Love the positivity. Go Irish. Beat COVID.

I hope it goes well, but two days of steady high cases and one day going down (to 23 new cases which is still a lot in a relatively small community!) doesn't constitute "flattening the curve" --there just isn't enough data yet. You need to look at 7-10 day moving averages on cases over time for that.

If I look at the ND Dashboard, it looks like the number of people being tested is going down. Shouldn't they be ramping up the testing? We'd have a much clearer picture if they tested a lot more students, faculty, and staff.

It was high the prior day due to testing the entire football team. Surveillance testing hadn't started yet, so only testing exposed and symptomatic people. I believe they will pull this off!!

until they start surveillance testing, all bets are off...

It's great is spread is dropping, but aren't students basically confined to dorms right now and not socializing at all, eating meals in their rooms?

If that's what it takes to keep COVID from spreading on campus, are they going to have to continue like that the rest of the semester?

Who knows but a lot of kids would rather be doing that than be at home. It would be great to see them successful in turning it around.

People are legitimately going crazy. If you haven't figured it out yet, we ARE going home.

This is f-ing ridiculous. I was sitting outside in the grass today having just finished eating with the very few people I hang out with these days, our masks were off as we were sipping some water sitting six feet apart (trying to enjoy the last days on campus we more than likely have left as seniors) and a random freshmen girl comes up to us and tells us that if we're done eating we should go back to our rooms. After we say were almost done and don't move, she proceeds to take a god damn picture of us and tell's us she's reporting us for not socially distancing properly?! It's ridiculous that ND has given some sort of power tripping-complex to students, making them think that its the student's fault for letting COVID spread and that it's their duty to snitch on people not following "guidelines."

The Dome has created fear and hostility amongst the student body and instituted a remote learning environment no different than an experience we could have enjoyed from the safety of our own homes. They have actually made some of us think it's our fault. Even without off-campus parties, this shit was bound to happen... entire floors of residence halls have been pseudo quarantined already if u haven't heard. We all f-ing shower, shit, and spit in the same bathrooms; we all live TOGETHER. Doesn't take a biology major to know this was bound to happen, parties or not. They then have the audacity to point to the student body and say WE "need to do better" when they could barely feed their own students put in isolation!? I love ND and I know there are a lot of people just doing their best, but this is embarrassing. Obviously, this is an unprecedented situation but the Dome brought this upon themselves as soon as they forced students to return and offered no remote learning options.

At this point, I question why they even lie to us. They expect students to look forward to sitting in their rooms all day just so we can have the chance to occasionally go to in-person classes where we sit 6 feet apart and not socialize with anyone? That's our f-ing reward for sitting in our rooms for two weeks, just so we can risk it all happening again. F no. If you haven't caught on by now, ND is "surveillance testing" not so we can go back to in-person classes, but so they can send us home without looking entirely irresponsible. "uR cLEan, gO HoMe pLz" <- that'll be the message in 1-2 weeks. Guarantee people who test negative will be encouraged to get off campus as soon as possible. The story now is just a cover so people don't start panicking/trying to move off early.

Yeah, this is a f-ing rant, but ND literally killed any semblance of a fun or at least comfortable senior year for me. Just let me have this.

Chicago Trib has an article on the events. The testing is not going well. They are overwhelmed and now only giving tests to those with multiple symptoms.

They aren’t going to turn it around. Think of it as the US. As soon as they try to start again after the 14 days, cases will start to rise again. I would love for it to work, but these are college kids and success is dependent on human behavior.

Wrong. They are doing surveillance testing now. Positivity rate way down today.
