[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Where’s the sanctimonious UVA parent who claimed UVA students have more “character” than students at other schools and so wouldn’t be irresponsibly partying and spreading COVID?  Please stand up and admit how wrong you were.  We’ll wait.[/quote][/b]

There hasn't been one.  That was Notre Dame mom trying to defend ND's decision to start classes early (football????) and leave by Thanksgiving. That didn't work so well.  https://www.chronicle.com/article/more-colleges-are-responding-to-covid-19-surges-with-2-week-quarantines-do-they-work.  Many have had to send everyone home, which protects the school but serves to spread the virus.  [/quote]

Actually Notre Dame is doing quite well.  Daily cases are low (much lower than UVA) and positivity rate is 1% vs UVA 9%.  The campus has set up resort like spaces for the kids to enjoy outdoors like fire tables, entertainment, lawn games, fireworks, etc.  Consequently, they have managed to keep students engaged and have flattened the curve.  They will likely make it through the end of the semester.  This administration and the kids are smart, and they figured out how to fix the problem.  UVA should be able to as well, but they need to take action.
