[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The fact is, students came back to college campuses from across the country, Europe, and China after Christmas break, when clearly the virus was already circulating, and were there for 2 and a half months and there isn't one report of transmission on a college campus. The risk is just very low not only to get ill from contracting the virus, but even for spreading it, among this age group. [/quote]

We did actually have a case and transmission on our college campus (in March). However, like most places the health department/school will not release information like that for privacy reasons. The only reason I know about it is because the student involved talked about it with friends and classmates. If you look at the outbreaks tab on the VDH website: https://www.vdh.virginia.gov/coronavirus/ you can see that there have been 8 outbreaks in educational settings. Yes, the numbers are very low, but most VA schools have been closed since the 1st or 2nd week of march.

This is just to say that there are reports of it and you're not going to know where - they won't release that info. [/quote]
