[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Keep in mind that ND had a huge spike at the onset.  Lots of other schools did as well and they closed.  ND is the only school which pulled through and flattened the curve.  A lot to be said for that.  I hope they keep it up.[/quote]

Are there any other private well-resourced schools that had a spike like ND's?  The only ones I know who "closed" (meaning shifted to remote instruction) are all large public universities with predominately off-campus populations and therefore unable to be locked down.  I just wonder why they had the spike in the first place given they did all the pre-matriculation testing, have all these resources for testing.  I think there needs to be more examination of what went wrong there as well as appreciation that they are trying to now solve it. [/quote]
I agree there should be an examination of this.  A few possibilities come to mind:  whether the pre-travel tests were inaccurate (or not actually completed properly by the students), whether the pre-travel and post-travel tests were simply different (different types, different labs, different level of specificity, i.e. cycles), whether the act of travel presents greater susceptibility to infection than it otherwise seems.  Or all of the above.

My guess is that ND is not using Broad, used by many Northeastern schools.  I wonder if Broad has a different cycle limit than whatever lab ND is using.[/quote]
