The university confirmed Saturday that 23 members of Pi Beta Phi tested positive for COVID-19. OSU officials learned of the positive cases Friday night.
Only one member was symptomatic as of Saturday, said Monica Roberts, OSU director of media relations. No members are allowed to leave the off-campus sorority house. One member who lives outside the chapter house tested positive and is now in isolation. A third-party contractor will disinfect the building and will do so again after the two-week quarantine period. The university and the Payne County Health Department are conducting contact tracing.
“This was expected,” Roberts said. “When you bring back 20,000 students, there will invariably be more cases related to campus. We’ve prepared for this for five months and have protocols in place to manage the situation. Our priority is the safety and well-being of our campus community and transparency in communications.”
More than 50 million children attend school in the United States, and the near blanket closures of schools and daycare centers in March and April forced millions of parents to become teachers overnight, often on top of holding down their own full-time jobs!
How many of them were false positives.
No one dies from it
Well I am just SHOCKED that a highly communicable disease would spread so quickly in a dormitory situation. SHOCKED I TELL YOU!

Sounds even less severe than the common cold
