In the past week, the Covid-19 positivity rate among students rose to 13.6% of the 954 students tested, and five employees also tested positive, according to the university's Covid-19 dashboard. As of Monday morning, 177 students were in isolation and 349 were 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 a letter to the community.
Megan Ranney, an emergency physician and associate professor of Emergency Medicine at Brown University.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.
Seriously! What did they expect would happen! Geez!
A “stunning rise” that we all saw coming.
Universities may have well thought out plans. However, they did not factor in the students and their powerful need to socialize. The schools needed to say that students would need to isolate and interact with just a few students. No parties, no bars. The schools were not clear.
That’s what happened when people are sitting on their heads and coming up with what they think is bright ideas!
I'm thinking that a degree from this US University is worth fk all..... dumbasses
Not stunning at all. predicted, actually
It shouldn’t be that stunning considering more than half of state believed 45 when he said it was a hoax.
*completey forseen Fixed it for you
It’s only surprising to those in denial about the severity of the PANDEMIC!
Stunning? I don’t think anyone is stunned
The USA should have been locked down at the beginning of the TrumpVirus now your lack of leadership is jeopardizing our school children StudentLivesMatter
katiecouric It’s not the only thing famous here. Durham,NC is the test case for antisemitism via BDS movement. When you have the same corruption that existed during Duke Lacrosse, it’s no wonder.
If your child's University attempted to open or pretended to be planning to open, only to realize later that they must close in-person classes, maybe you should question the intelligence and integrity of the people in charge. Was it a con to get your tuition or was it stupidity?
Many universities going online but dorms still open. Not sure how that’s going to play out any differently
How...how is anyone stunned tho?
*wholly predictable rise
Raise your hand if this is a shock
Where is the video of people being dragged from their truck and beaten for no reason? Whit people is that why there is no report? YOU just don't care when white people are beaten? This is the result of the hate YOU promote. They will come for you and I won't care either.
UNC how much did you get paid to shut down.I hope it was a big pay off! I’m sure it was! There isn’t a college that would shut down unless they got paid real well in a closed door meeting... we see right through your circus act!! Next year we will see a new building be built!
DUH?
Yeah was a really stupid move to re open schools
What a joke. First week back and 130 cases. Can't get any dumber.
“Stunning”
It does take 3 to 5 days after being tested to get results....if schools just opened....I highly doubt majority of these students felt sick enough to get tested in the first couple of days in order for their test results to come back by the time this report aired. sketchy.
toby_sims be careful mate!
No honest person could call this development 'stunning'
Has nothing to do with classes beginning
They knew this would happen. They did it so they can justify charging students $30K for this semester since everyone missed the “deadlines” to get a refund. Hahahalordmakeitmakesensehaha
Yea be stupid like trump and listen to him. He does not care about American's. HE ONLY CARES ABOUT HIM AND HIS FAMILY AND THE 1%. HIS FAMILY HAS NO EXPERIENCE IN WHAT HE APPOINTED THEM IN. THAT IS AGAINST THE LAW.
Welp.
Really? Surprise...Surprise
VOTE FOR SAFETY OF YOUR COMMINITY.. VOTE TRUMP
This is hard to believe. Smh 🤦♂️
'stunning' 💀
Shocking...never saw that coming
Cuz the kids are partying like there’s no tomorrow !! There will b no tomorrow for lots of them and /or family members if they continue! Careless but also very stupid young adults.
Go to love College newspapers!
Good. .
Is anyone really surprised by this?
UNC admin after cashing tuition checks and switching to online learning after the first week
President of UNC: Let's go ahead and have in-person classes. Board of Regents: Hey, what's the worst that could happen? Students: Watch.
Oh wow, I’m so surprised
Obviously this doesn’t effect GoHeels basketball students
But how many have died or need to be hospitalized? Not saying UNC was right to open with in person/dorm but we need to learn to live with this virus or all of us just wither away and or go bankrupt.
😷😷😷😷🙏🏻🙏🏻
Belize is a awesome family vacation getaway click on the link below to enjoy the video.
Stop the parties and they could attend class
Who would have thought..
CalPoly
WHY CLASSIFY IT AS A “STUNNING” RISE
And folks trump wants you to send your family jewels to sure sickness in schools.
I don't think I would call it stunning, exactly. 🤔
Last weekend in Ames Iowa. IowaState Faculty I've spoken to are betting on 4-6 weeks until shutdown, but already 1/2 a fraternity is Covid positive.
Ahh took less than a week
I just
What is so surprising? These are all of the “Florida” summertime party individuals who felt they did not have to mask or social distance. So now they have the virus? The concern should be for their parents, grandparents, neighbors, all those other people who have NO IDEA!
College kids will party and do dumb crap. I blame Trump for not leading by mandating a FEDERAL shutdown. Wake up kids. COVID19 is real. Now zoom it!!!
What? No way! How did that happen?
'Stunning rise'......you really do cater to the low-information crowd. You mean a 'stunning rise' from when students were not on campus Doh!!
Shocker......
Nancy You do everything for the kids nobody believes that you better stop drinking... Pleaseeee
The only “stunning” thing here is the collective stupidity of the “adults” that allowed this to happen.
Huh. I’m totally shocked.
Nothing about this story is “stunning” endless young ppl who drink and throw parties nonstop what did they think was gonna happen? They just wanted ppls room & board money.
UNCpublichealth UNC does anyone have a law school? Sue these people for putting your safety at risk knowingly to open in person school back.
duh
Why do all leftists squeal like pigs
Stunning?
I remember my 2nd year college roommate leaving for the weekend and I was laid up with a friend. On Monday morning, he stopped in before his 8am class and I was laid up with another. This was never going to work.
The funny thing is, they act surprised by this. How could they not see this coming?
Waiting for this to happen at UVA in a few weeks 🙃🙃🙃
See told ya🙄
No one believes anything you say. Either start showing proof or shut up.
A 3-year-old girl and her 21-year-old father are dead after a gunman opened fire on the two while they played in the toddler's 'Frozen' dollhouse at the family's home.
who would have guessed it?
Breaking: BLM leftist thugs beat man to near death. Reports he's in serious condition. This is what's been happening in liberal run cities across America. Disgusting! BLMAntifaTerroristsThugs
RiderUniversity
FAKE NEWS!!!
Where is the WTF button?!
Did you really have to throw “stunning” in there?
DER ! Well you’d have to say Americans have their rights and they won’t be told what to do even if it is for their own good.
No frigging kidding the United States is a Petri dish of covid 19 it’s the worse country with it.
You don’t say? 🤷🏻♂️
Sure, lets play football! Yeah, no.
Giant parties have consequences . cnn what don't you post the party pics that surfaced over the weekend?🤪🤪🤷♀️🤷♀️😰
Duh
130!?!?!
One day I hope we all come to understand and respect just how contagious COVID is. Was this really a surprise?
What did they think was going to happen?
Well that didn’t take long . . .
WritesMore Now the high school, middle schools and grade schools
All those kids moving back home? Otherwise, what’s the point?
A stunning story.
“Stunning” wtf?
Stunning?
Viruses spread. That’s what they do. Time to move forward.
What do we expect from the Young men and women who are being let out of their cages. For them it is the partying that matters. Unfortunately, their parents did not teach them personal responsibility or civil behavior. Too bad!
CBS News legal analyst said the chances of Mr. Trump being charged with a crime goes down dramatically if he's reelected in 2020. Orange 🍊 dude is scheming /plotting 24/7 and OVERTIME to stay in office !
ForrestHughes7 Who would have guessed nickdaschel
Ya'll need Gohmert to teach them how to use a mask. replouiegohmert
Dumbshit Donnie. You got what you asked for a spike in cases by opening up schools to soon (just like opening the economy too soon, ect........) More completely unnecessary deaths to come because of your self serving dumb ass moves.
Stunning? Stunning to who? This was so predictable
Like this tweet if this isn’t “stunning”
Well, who would have thought that might occur? 🤔 🤔 🤔 Ahh yes, the science & medial experts and researchers Trump thinks he is smart than.
Shows leadership to reverse course!
And in Indiana Public Schools 3 ft is now considered social distancing. No testing for staff and students. Contact tracing only if within 3 ft. for more than 15 minutes within 48 hours. Total scam. Keeps schools open and public unaware.
