[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yikes over 100 cases in the past two recorded days?  This is most definitely a spike that they should be worried about.  [b]The need to shut it down[/b].  Are they having in person classes?[/quote]

Shut it down....and then what?
Tons of students are still in town.  They are leasing local group houses/apartments and no way will local landlords let them out of the lease.   So now you have a whole bunch of young people hanging around with no classes and plenty of flexibility/time to party![/quote]

By "shut it down" I don't mean to send students home.  I mean that they need to close a number of common areas to students, make all classes virtual (if there are in person classes), have strict rules about students staying in their own dorms (no visitors outside of dorm) and no students mingling in each others' rooms within a dorm.  This is what Notre Dame did, and they were very successful.  They opened back up on September 2, and case count continues to be low and positivity rate is around 1%.  You say it is business as usual.  Let's hope their case count doesn't explode.[/quote]
