Since my workplace will be in the news shortly, due to the first week of opening recording 3 COVID-19 infected students, which the number by Tuesday (today) is 15 students with classes not yet starting.
I’ve warned friends, colleagues, and family to not become an experiment. In this vane, I present to you…
UCONN is seeing something similar. I think they are up to around 52 people on the Storrs campus have tested positive and 5 have recovered. Most of the infections are connected with a few players on the football team.
It’s almost like there is a global pandemic still going on!
Apparently the institution is not yet horrified enough. I stopped checking the nos. but on Friday during orientation some faculty were giving different numbers.
I guess because, thus far, it’s only students affected and there’s no evidence of community spread…admin seem to be okay with it.
Note: classes have not even started yet.
The Provost in a meeting said, “there is no magic number.” Today the President suspended in class face-to-face meetings until Sept. 11.
The magic number was over 100 cases @alison. As @shelley has said, oof!
