In the past week, the Covid-19 positivity rate rose to 13.6% at Campus Health, and 954 students have been tested, UNC officials said in a letter to the community, equating to 130 positive cases. As of Monday morning, 177 students are in isolation and 349 are in quarantine, both on and off campus. Most students with Covid-19 have demonstrated mild symptoms, Chancellor Kevin M. Guskiewicz and Executive Vice Chancellor and Provost Robert A. Blouin said in the letter.
Covid-19 is still spreading rampantly, but there's less testing to find and isolate cases"Any of us who were young adults know what it's like to be in your late teens and early 20s. It's up to those colleges to make it easy for those kids to do the right thing, to do regular testing, have mask mandates, have masks easily available, and if needed, to shut down those campuses," she told CNN.Young people generally have less severe outcomes from Covid-19 infection.
I'll be so happy when this whole COVID thing is over and we can go back to a time when nobody died of anything other than murder and cancer...
Age specific fatality rate for Covid 19 vs Accidental Injury
Thinning of the herd
'About' 130 out of 30,000?
What the fuck was the point, UNC? It's a virus, did you think nobody would get it?
But everyone one of them will be fine. Statistically almost zero chance of college age people getting seriously ill.
And so it begins
Congrats to Trump and the GOP for the successful reopening of US schools.
So leaders at Chapel Hill know the kids caught the virus in class.. of course not, they caught it doing what kids do in class or online. Quarantine the sick kids and move on, just like they do in mlb.
Odds that most of these kids were asymptomatic, insanely high. What a dumb decision to close.
Do they close when some people catch any other sickness? Good grief people suck it up
Wrong move
So stupid. Then again this is to be expected....whether it happened or not. All kids everywhere will get it!! Cases will rise!!! DRUMPF!!! None will die-if they even have it. Just postpone the inevitable.
Smart move
They will go home and 1000 will get Covid!
ALL the education in the world CAN'T cure stupidity...Stupid is is as stupid does.Should have stayed closed, open in the spring after vaccine. idiots
SAVEOURCHILDEN
just the beginning...but we knew this was gonna happen
... and why did so many get tested? Requirement?
No kidding.
Pretty sure this is how it’s going to pan out everywhere. What a waste of time and money moving kids in.
However, we will still charge the full, hyper-inflated rate for remote learning. Because,... Capitalism
How many lives will foolishly opening too soon cost?
hnjohnso
Lol
Trump just won NC
What other universities will follow suit? And how soon?
How many more of this will these dipsh!ts have to see before figuring it out
