566 coronavirus cases reported at University of Alabama in less than a week since classes started.

Kellee Reinhart, senior vice-chancellor for communications and community relations at the university, told NBC News that"the University has an ample amount of quarantine space for COVID-positive students.

"The goal of all of these protocols is to keep our students on campus, and allow our classes to be delivered in that way, and by doing that we're able to flatten this curve and move forward in our semester. This is a very dynamic situation. We value our students' health, their ability to get the most out of their Tuscaloosa and Alabama experience," University of Alabama President Stuart Bell said during a news conference.

"As our students adjust to being back on campus, Tuscaloosa leaders and university officials are focused on helping to ensure their health and safety," Ivey said."If we do not act expeditiously, it leaves the potential for a situation to get out of hand, which would require even tougher, longer-lasting decisions to be enacted."

How many died?

Well too few days to get the virus at school. The students brought it with them ? We’re they sick enuf to be hospitalized? We’re they quarantined? Need real details to a story

Tell Boris Johnson (BorisJohnson).

NFL tested FAR fewer people and had 80+ false positives. So statistically there is a good possibility that more than half of those are not real.

It’s never been known as anything more than one of the dumbest states in America, do this is no surprise.

Gonna start a gofundme to make sure everyone in their vicinity is supplied with ample toilet paper. DM me if you're able to donate.

How many have been hospitalized?

Any deaths?

Don't worry, it will magically disappear: if we stop testing the numbers will go down. The emperor said so.

My prediction is back to school will be worse mess Trump ever created. But of course soon he will say I didn't tell anyone to go back to school. Like he always does.

Great job to test the spreading power of coronavirus

Thoughts and prayers. Try listening to scientists and adjust to evolving information next time. You know, if there IS a next time. 💀 COVIDIOTS

define 'cases' just because a person has the virus does not mean they are ill. much fearmongering isnt constructive

They are fools for returning

Reparations for Black people should not include a PASS as far as the law is concerned Cash debt forgiveness sure but not a blind eye to street crime violence assaulting police

Hey! It's Alabama Roll Tide! What did you expect 🤣🤣🤣

Did nazi that coming, right? I'm beginning to think money is clouding some people's judgement, no?

Covid to the dumbasses in the South:

Yup. And so it begins. But hey....it's going to disappear...like a miracle.

This is just a harbinger of what's to come at all the schools as we reopen.

Take that Trump and Devos!!

Did they say if any are symptomatic? Just curious.

And they are all fine. theflu

Must be using the same labs as the nfl

Those pesky college students just refuse to follow guidelines...

Virus is undefeated

Barnini

If you don't want to be there, leave. Its pretty simple.

hopefully they didnt use the same lab as the NFL

Expel the buggers who party. If not intelligent enough to wear mask and social distance, not intelligent enough for college.

JMU just opened yesterday. Stupid idea how long till they close?

Misslov15 Don't listen to that Idiot in Chief. People don't send your kids to school!

Interestingly, the virus appears to be spreading between cousins 17 times faster then families in other parts of the country

And zero of them are symptomatic

So what? Continue

Yea Alabama...

GematriaClub

Yeah. That’s what happens when you keep everyone locked up...you prolong the spread. It was always going spread. You can’t “out-hide” a virus.

Impossible. The incubation period isn't that short.

Testing has slowed down so much in the United States now. Perhaps following Trump’s orders?

RollTide

How’s that going back to school working out for you. And people are holding JoeBiden to task for suggesting he would follow the scientists recommendation including closing down if the health & welfare of all citizens was threatened what a concept!

zivinilee Gee.. who woulda thunk?🤔🙄

How many times will UofAlabama snatch defeat from the jaws of victory?

Maybe a big maskless bike rally would help raise the spirits of everyone involved ? Maybe Sugar Ray or Blink 182 could perform ? Just spit-ballin' here

Wear a damn mask

WillieGeist Gee what a shock...

WillieGeist And they think college makes you smarter...🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

WillieGeist The SEC: first in football, last in epidemiology.

WillieGeist Alabama never took it seriously

It's almost as if it's contagious ?

What’s the mortality rate in college age young adults?

This is good news. The more it spreads along those least likely to be hurt, the sooner herd immunity will protect those most vulnerable

That’s fake news. That’s the system wide number.

Let’s play football!

kaitlancollins hmmm.

UofAlabama is run by 💩🤡🤡🤡

Didn’t see that coming......

How many deaths? Oh wait Yal don’t report rates!

ROLL TIDE!!!

People are stupid! and selfish.

That’s a lot of recoveries!

Alabama, last in everything but close to first in C19 cases.

Sure there are...

How many in the ICU?

Interesting... Since the gestation period of COVID is 2 weeks, all of these kids had to have been sick prior to going back to campus

MAGA!

1.2 percent positive rate from 45 thousand tests. a fraction of the national positive rate percentage. These are good numbers, not bad. Epic gas lighting my traditional media playing upon the fact that people are stupid.

HAHHAHAHA
