NYU has tested 30k tests since Aug 1 and have less than 1/2 percent positive cases. Since the out of state students arrived mid-August, they are getting more positive results, but  the rolling rate for last 7 days is still less than 1%. They have rolling 7 day stats and rolling 14 day stats to better keep track of how their efforts are working.  NYU  has mask mandate,  daily screeners, ongoing testing, quarantining, contact tracing, isolation of positive cases, whistle blower hotline, etc.  My kid has 3 online classes and 2 in person classes. They have students in the dorm, the libraries open and the dining halls open for Grub Hub ordering and takeout.

What works is people being diligent and wanting it to work. And although it is not 100%, it helps that a school can enforce within their population. The students who actually showed up for college don't want to be sent home for elevated cases or noncompliance, so they are taking it more serious than the average person on the street.

NYC in general is doing well too though. It is because a lot of the citizens actually KNOW someone who has gotten sick, and this virus isn't so abstract hoax.

So it can work. [/quote]
