:"We found a problem early, we had the data to identify the cause, and we have a chance to turn this around."
She's thinking of the next two weeks as a challenge. She says, U of I students are pretty competitive, so she's hopeful."We've got two weeks to kind of prove ourselves ... two weeks to show that we are able to stay here." "It sucks," says freshman Noelle Johnson, while sitting on the campus' main quad. She's not looking forward to being stuck in her dorm without air conditioning."But I'd rather struggle for two weeks than the rest of my college years."
Nothing the school or the Govt does can make it safe. That is determined by how the people act. My wife is a nurse in a nursing facility, despite having the knowledge to know better a co worker with a COVID spouse was working until testing positive.
Perhaps it's time to close all colleges for good. They no longer serve a useful purpose anyway; why risk the health of our youth just so they can be indoctrinated by the left.
You stand corrected
Use University of Illinois.. as a trial for low tech concert type wrist bands to prove non contagious status. Have the students check in for their results. If negative, put on a colored/dated wristband so they can move about campus. Non compliant students should be sent home.
Are any students hospitalized ?
The spike was predictable. It's fair to presume that it was expected by the administration. They began scapegoating the students for the failure of the revenue-saving 'plan' before they arrived on campus. Checks safely cashed, they'll send the students back home to infect others.
Man, it's a good thing they put two hubris-filled physicists who think epidemiology is 'unchallenging' in charge of the reopening model. Who else would have used brilliant assumptions like 'invincible-feeling college students will behave responsibly'
Shut down colleges to stop the spread of communism.
This is not a question anyone with intelligence or sanity is asking

Eventually, we will be a nation on lockdown for 30 days sheltered in place while government tests and contact traces the essential employees until this virus is contained. Government needs to provide financial assistance to the people while we isolate this Covid bastard. If only.
CorsIAQ What's the schools emphasis on ventilation?
Another desperate, flailing attempt to keep a Derek Chauvin-esque knee on the neck of the economy.
YA THINK?
Looks like they're feeding them well.
Anyone sick?
It’s more than safe. Can we drop this narrative already?! People’s lives are being ruined globally. April ‘09 to April ‘10 there were 60 million cases of H1N1 in the US alone. No lockdowns. No masks. No social distancing. No businesses closed. Schools were open. We have 6M only.
This will lead to a second wave and young people think there will be no long term effects for them.
This is a failed experiment overall.
Hell no, college kids mate like rabbits, you can’t stop that!
And how many people died? What is the impact? Are you reporting, or using fear? You hate America. You hate Jews. You are not National Public anything. You hate.
No. Send them all home. This is insane. Protect faculty, staff, TAs, communities, and fellow students.
Probably not, but the zombie army has made this political. TrumpVirusDeathToll186K
My take on that would be - NO, it's not safe to open ANY schools yet. If only people were less like the idiot in the WH, & more like humans, we'd already have this under control, but alas, about a 3rd of the US population are as idiotic as the fool they voted for. VoteBlue !!!
NPR (National Propaganda Network).
More fake news from Nazi Propaganda Radio
What? No way.
If it wasn’t safe in March it sure as heck isn’t now. Nothing has changed except DC now has given up on it. Doesn’t make it safe today
Closing one by one - as will elementary schools!! What makes one think if we are closing restaurants - gyms churches etc., we can release hundreds of students and teachers/staff into an enclosed building without spreading Covid - defies common sense
EWoodhouse7 is it time to school NPR? 😁
I'm sure..... it's the liberal plan. Gotta stretch this thing out and get to November 3rd.
Almost like we should just live our lives. I miss the old days before Trump when nobody died 😪

No, it’s not. Who wrote this nonsense? UIUC positivity rate is 2%. ISU is 24%. For example. What is Indiana Univ positivity rate? Go look.
NPR recognizes the necessity for Sweden's path to herd immunity.
Fun fact about Covid according to the CDC website United States ages 0-24 population 103 million Total deaths of ages 0-24 - 360 According to CDC, only 6% of Covid deaths attributed to coronavirus alone Grand total of 21 deaths from coronavirus alone out of 103,000,000

How many deaths or ICU beds utilized as a result? I’m old enough to remember when the goal was to flatten the curve.
THIS IS SO OBVIOUS. NONE OF THIS SHOULDVE HAPPENED, BUT YALL ASSHOLES WANTED TO MAKE YOUR MONEY.
According to some, there will never be enough. We should all move back to caves. Orange man bad
No it’s not
THANKS TRUMP
Never forget this was the birthplace of HAL9000
can you report on the recovery rate as well or just half the story will do?
Nope
We've got high schools quarantining students within days of opening. How is any of it safe?
Water is wet
NPR is complicit in the destruction of higher education.
