[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Notre Dame president scheduled 5:00 press conference. Huge lines to get tested today on campus. [/quote]

You're about to hear the sound of the plug being pulled on in-person instruction at Notre Dame this fall. [/quote]

I suspect a two week shutdown of in person but not sending kids home. Yet. [/quote]

Sweetheart, no one is getting covid in a classroom with a mask on, seated six feet away from other students. These outbreaks are 100% a dorm issue. Nothing short of vacating the dorms is going to make a difference at any school. [/quote]

Sweetheart, students sitting in a poorly ventilated classroom for an hour at a time, walking next to each other to get into and out of classrooms, not always wearing masks correctly, wearing bandanas or neck gaiters, touching their faces, their desks, and doors, are certainly at risk for transmitting and catching coronavirus.
It is not just a dorm issue, it is an issue of having thousands of 20 year olds on a campus for hours at a time with little enforcement of optimal health guidelines.[/quote]

LOL
It’s 100% a dorm issue. Have you seen how many kids they can cram into one room? They have roommates, they are sharing bathrooms, they are partying and being normal college kids. In the classroom, it’s all controlled. [/quote]

I'm a professor and it's laughable that you think it's 100% a dorm issue. Yes, dorms are big, big part, but please don't fool yourself into believing that the classrooms are "all controlled." They are not, and students socialize between and before classes. I guarantee you that students are not walking 6 feet apart from one another in hallways, in elevators, in stairwells, etc., on the way into and out of class. [/quote]
