Indiana University sees 'alarming' spike in COVID-19 at frat, sorority houses

- Indiana University at Bloomington on Thursday urged students living in fraternity and sorority houses to move out, citing an “alarming” rate of positive COVID-19 tests that marked the latest outbreak in the U.S. Midwest and at a college campus.

“Based on an increasingly alarming rate of positive test results from continued COVID-19 mitigation testing, IU Bloomington and its public health experts believe Greek houses are not safe given the pandemic conditions,” the school tweeted. Major universities have grappled with thousands of students returning to campus for the fall semester, with some imposing online-only learning. New cases have spiked at some colleges that have allowed students to return to class.New coronavirus infections have fallen nationwide for six weeks in a row but surged in the Midwest. Iowa, North Dakota and South Dakota are reporting the highest percentage of positive tests, over 20% in each state.

And pro-wrestler turned Hollywood actor Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, 48, said in a video message posted on social media on Wednesday that he, his wife and their two children had tested positive for COVID-19 in recent weeks but had since recovered

Nobody believes in covid until you get it

Completely shocking, but an expensive way to get coronavirus.

They hang out at playgrounds?

What worthless info. No numbers in hospitalizations. Blaming Tom Seavers death on covid is vile.

So what. They are not 65+, obese, with diabetes, high blood pressure, along with being Hispanic, or American Indian. This will not phase them and will not phase 98% of their instructors. Stop shutting down parts of the USA to preserve the lives of highly compromised individuals.

Did your editors not tell you to never abbreviate Fraternity to “frat”. Imagine if you abbreviated “country”. C’mon man. Simply calling them, collective, “Greek housing” would’ve got the job done better. BoomerLogic

Imagine that.

That's why you should close frat and sorority houses and make the students live in the gym.

Alarming.....lmao.....how many in the hospital

These students are obviously not mature enough to attend college. And due to the problems we are having due to face to face classes the universities need to go to strictly online

Covidiots sellfish brats

False positives. Always in blue counties.

Um...duh?

How many hospitalized?

Covid infections or cases. I expect the later. So what’s the big deal - 90% are not contagious and a 1/3 are likely false positives.

Um...have you ever heard of any Sorority or Fraternity that believed in 'social distancing'? 🤔 If you have, please let me know.................

Who woulda thunk?

Fear tactics

The covid-scare game is soooo June. This is September. Catch up.

Ah campus life .... it will never be the same again. After they unpacked they headed for the cafeteria, checked out targets and plotted the next few party nights taking note of when and where. Made friends with people with a car for snack, liquor & ? runs. Life WAS good. LOL Why is it they never state how many of those actually get physically sick or are hospitalized. All we ever hear is 'tested positive'. Submarine_Guy Surprising absolutely no one.
