Kids are not locked in their rooms. The are free to wander the campus and go into any open building. My son is still working at his on campus job. Kids can take their virtual classes in any of the open spaces available. My son has actually left campus a few times for necessities (even though they are not technically allowed).

The only way to handle this competently is the bubble approach, like the NBA. Once you’re on campus, you can’t leave. If you leave campus, you go home.

There’s really no other option for a university. A campus where students come & go freely - especially to off-campus housing and parties - is the perfect incubator for COVID. If they did the bubble approach, they could even get rid of masks.

You going to house all the professers, administrators and support staff (custodians, cafeteria workers, landscapers, secretaries) on campus, too?

Notre Dame is going to resume in-person instruction next week. I hope it works out because it would be a useful example for how other schools could handle an outbreak without closing.

It'll shut down again. The hope for administrators is to keep enough students on campus for football (i.e., to please alums and donors).

You're clearly the same nut posting over and over. What do you get from this hysteria? You look foolish and have been proven wrong over and over.

Kids are all still hanging out with each other, just the partying is more low-key, less snapchat and instagram.

I do too! I think there's a chance they can make it work, as long as they can keep up random testing, and are willing to quickly quarantine any groups when they see just a few cases. That would prevent spread to the greater community.

Happy for ND if works out and the info would help other schools. Pretty great if they can turn it into a success story.

It's great they got the numbers down from where they were, it's not so great their numbers are still higher per capita than many other schools even after remote instruction. Does that still count as a "comeback"? "We're not as bad as we were, but still worse off than average?" But ND has a way of framing things .

Well, right now, 6.4% of all students at Notre Dame now have Covid. That’s not good.

I'm not the "same nut"--clearly, there are several of us who are very, very wary. I'd be glad to be proven wrong, but I would be surprised if ND doesn't have to shut down again in a couple of weeks.
