Without the $500 instant test people are getting to attend parties - says the NYT - the students cant socialize. So what do you think will happen.

The only campus that I have seen open with enough rapid testing is UIUC which is using a rapid saliva test they make and analyze on campus. If colleges are not testing every single person 2x a week there will be outbreaks. How many is too many is the only unknown.
Testing will only inform. If kids are having large unmasked indoor events, on campus classes can not continue. testing just tells us when to close.
Not if it is surveillance testing which drives contact tracing and isolation. Colleges are trying to do the latter 2 with insufficient tests. It won’t work.
The NBA has figured this out. MLB seems to be close. But both test constantly, isolate the players and staff from others, and have a hotline to report people who break the rules. That’s only solution for now.

Cornell is also testing 2x per week both on and off campus students.

Colleges don’t want to test widely and they especially don’t want to be responsible for off campus students so they don’t have to count them in their numbers.

Honestly, what did people think a bunch of college kids would do?

They are not far behind UNC and had a very strict plan in place that is proving worthless.

There is a steady rise in cases but the chatter on campus is one of extremely limited testing, conflicting advice, and still instances of “kids being kids” and not social distancing or overlying guidelines. Starting to wonder if ND is going to make an abrupt about face soon like UNC.
