[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I promised an update giving an idea of the outcome of last week's game.  It looks very encouraging to see there was very little in the way of a uptick in cases 7 days after the game.  By now we would be seeing cases...it is looking very very good for ND and it appears they may actually may make it through the entire semester DESPITE the fact that had such a spike earlier in the semester.  I know some of you are on the edge of your seats waiting to see the updates...especially those who think "Notre Damed is screwing up."  https://here.nd.edu/our-approach/dashboard/

Every 3 days, as many Americans die from COVID as died on 9/11. More than died in WW2.  This is the worst public health threat the US has been hit with for the past 100 years.

What do you NOT get about that? It is stunning.[/quote]

I'm really sorry but many of these are people like my Dad - older and in horrible health.  Young college kids do not die from this or it is exceedingly rare.  Go look at any of the moms' facebook sites and read post after post after post on the depression their kids are under attending either 1) online at home their freshmen year or 2) an online at school program.   The moms are asking for help b/c their teens are depressed, unmotivated with online work and frankly suffering from a mental health crisis.  We have already had a suicide near us this year.  More of our young people are suffering the effects of staying indoors.  A school like Notre Dame is offering them a chance to be 18, 19, 20 and 21, albeit with reasonable precautions.  Good for them and to all colleges that were strong enough to open!  [/quote]

yeah and I am so sure you’re a huge proponent of mental health care in your real life.

how is “let the old and sick people die so the young people can have fun” reflective of Notre Dame’s values?

note: I think it’s acceptable for schools to cautiously open in person, but they need to consider the broader community and equity issues (for example, if elementary schools are still closed). [/quote]

They are cautiously open.  They closed down for 2 weeks to get the cases under control and have been successful.  Case positivity rate currently 0.7%.  Current active cases 33.  Successfully flattened the curve.  What more do you want?  [/quote]
