[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So why didn’t we have more cases of sick college employees , s[b]tudents and professors in March and April. [/b]Or did we?  I mean this virus was all over the place in February and early March. Schools didn’t send kids home til the end of March. I’d love to see the data on people who had direct contact with either college students or employees who were infected as well.  I know we can’t do actual contact tracing now. But even antidotally to find out how many people who are x degrees of separation From someone at a university for very sick or died. [/quote]

We didn't.  Because our universities decided to shut down right after spring break around March 6th.  I was surprised when UVA said students should not return at all but that proved to be a very smart decision.  Harvard started the ball and the others followed.  The point wasn't to even allow the students who had gone overseas or (ugh, Miami for beach week) to return because by then they were probably carriers.  I don't know when you are getting your data about the end of March.  By then our two college students had been home three weeks working in our basement.[/quote]
