Why not? Have you seen a curve smashed like this one on a college campus. I know many have just kept numbers down from day one, but this school made a MAJOR comeback. You must give credit where it is due. You are just another naysayer who will be proved wrong...just watch!!

That’s in young, athletic and largely asymptomatic patients. Obviously then things will be worse for older folks who are already impacted by a variety of comorbidity factors.

These studies are a joke because they are looking for conditions. There is always “damage” or “inflammation after any virus. It all works out just fine. Time will tell!!

Inflammation of the heart or myocarditis isn’t a standard viral issue though some virus do cause it and it’s not no big deal!! Can lead to major issues!!

You would be surprised. Lots of inflammation throughout your body from viruses. You just don't now about it because you aren't looking for it. It eventually subsides. Same with covid. But the hysteria will continue unfortunately.

Yes, same with the flu. I remember when we got swine before a vaccine came out, my daughter couldn't move her knee for 6 weeks. Had to have it xray'd etc. but it was some inflammation thing. She was fine after a little bit.

Not to be mean, but if your kid is not going here, why do you care if they stay open or not. Obviously, for those there, they are fine. Seriously, worry about your own kid and their school.

Well phew. Why did you not say that internet guy with no knowledge or credentials, and not involved with research, says to just ignore the doctors and researchers who are finding heart defects, lung defects and other issues with those who catch covid even if they have no symptoms. Internet guy guarantees they are all healthy (well except those who die or are sick or have long term health issues). Stupid.

I agree with the PP above. Why do you care so much? Are you searching the word covid and trolling every single thread about it? You need to get a life.

NP and current ND parent here. Yes, they’ve done a great job after the initial spike but it’s too early tell. I wouldn’t declare a “major comeback” until we get to October 1. Hoping they stay on course.

They have had 270 cases since the initial spike and that was with going remote and locking things down. We have yet to see what happens when it's opened up a bit more. I'm sorry, I just don't see how that's great when you compare it to other places. Especially other private schools that have similar resources for testing.

Well it was all worth it. Football this weekend!

They locked down, hard.

It remains to be seen if they can do what they proposed (i.e. classes and campus life) without it rising up again.

How many colleges are even offering in person classes? Agree thought that the proof will be how they do after this weekend's game.

Lots of colleges are offering some in-person classes with precautions (lower density, masks etc.) and hybrid (half class virtual/half in person).

Keep in mind that ND had a huge spike at the onset. Lots of other schools did as well and they closed. ND is the only school which pulled through and flattened the curve. A lot to be said for that. I hope they keep it up.

Are there any other private well-resourced schools that had a spike like ND's? The only ones I know who "closed" (meaning shifted to remote instruction) are all large public universities with predominately off-campus populations and therefore unable to be locked down. I just wonder why they had the spike in the first place given they did all the pre-matriculation testing, have all these resources for testing. I think there needs to be more examination of what went wrong there as well as appreciation that they are trying to now solve it.

I agree there should be an examination of this. A few possibilities come to mind: whether the pre-travel tests were inaccurate (or not actually completed properly by the students), whether the pre-travel and post-travel tests were simply different (different types, different labs, different level of specificity, i.e. cycles), whether the act of travel presents greater susceptibility to infection than it otherwise seems. Or all of the above.

My guess is that ND is not using Broad, used by many Northeastern schools. I wonder if Broad has a different cycle limit than whatever lab ND is using.
