I saw this article on reddit. What a disaster. [/quote]

Wow.

This matches what is being said on Twitter and on campus. They are in over their heads.

Schools planned to handle SMALL outbreaks. They never counted on needing to test thousands of people daily.[/quote]

I think this is true.  I think since it's a pretty small student body, and most are on campus, they really thought the outbreaks would be small - which would mean smaller circles of people needing to be testing.  Instead the outbreak is larger, so you have exponentially larger numbers of tests needed.
They're working with U of I to get access to their rapid tests, which could be a game changer if it works (both the relationship and the actual test).
So far I don't think anything is out of what could be expected - and certainly some is true and some is pure drama - but I feel like they are sort of out the tipping point.  Fingers crossed they can erign it all in.[/quote]

With a virus this infectious, this was utterly predictable. The hubris of people is unbelievable! The virus doesn't care how hard you're trying or how much you believe your system of testing and tracing is sufficient. These are college kids living away from home. Even if they follow the rules 90 percent of the time, the other 10 percent will sink the ship.[/quote]
