[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The issue is this....UVA postponed their campus move in by a few weeks...so their #s are going to be behind others that started earlier.

JMU is a cluster----ck! All the partying kids just ruined it for everyone - today they just announced going all virtual and asking on campus students to go home by Sept. 7

I hear same thing going on at VT - just a week or two behind JMU in the #s so hope for the best but prepare for the worst.

Honestly...I think it's a horrible decision to send students home!

As for me....yeah, one kid's school (UMW) has 0 positive cases....of course they postponed move in to next week....so maybe my kid will be on campus a little longer :-0
My other kid is at VMI...and you'd think that due to its structure there would be 0 cases...and there was...until all cadets arrived...numbers are slowly but exponentially going up by the day. My son thinks he'll be home in a month. :-(

JMU did not require a negative Covid from any students - not even the ones moving into the dorms. They claimed to have consulted with VA public health, but who ever thought this was going to work?

Their big plan was to rely on an app which would be triggered when you came onto campus. Then the user would have to answer questions before proceeding. Few used it and there was zero enforcement.

JMU also removed or blocked off seating in large classrooms, but then didn't limit the number of students in those classes. So students just sat next to each other on the floor.
