Nice...nice...

So about exactly what anyone should have expected.

 

[Bob Sugar]

Based on statistics, maybe 1 of them will be sick enough to merit a hospital visit. Maybe.

Yep—or lower! These numbers are so stripped of context we have no idea what they really represent. But these numbers are anything but concerning IMO. Schools should release the numbers of kids that test positive for flu in their clinics every year.

Based on statistics, maybe 1 of them will be sick enough to merit a hospital visit. Maybe.

IMO we should be talking about this in terms of hospital beds, ICU beds, and deaths. Not raw cases or even positive test rates.

Would like to know if any of the student cases resulted in serious illness/hospitalization though infection is infection and typically leads to more spread.

 

[NewFrogFan]

I’ll give them the number of a Dr if they want it, that as of today is still batting 1000% on over 120 cases, no hospitalizations or deaths.

Professor friend of mine showed me the daily stats on # of cases, recoveries, et. al. at TCU.

Remarkably, to me, the number of students living off campus that have contracted corona virus was double of that living on campus. I guess I thought that those off campus were in contact with less people, living quietly in their apartments, and the ones on campus were tearing down the halls having orgies and parties. I guess I was wrong in my perception of what goes on.....

Nice

69 is a lot better than 70

 

[TCUdirtbag]

357 active student cases and only 3 active employee cases.

This continues a very positive trend, IMO. If they can keep student hospitalizations down at or near 0 and employee cases very low, they’ll be able to push through the student spike.

TCU sent an email that they are at 42% capacity for isolation beds. That’s the big problem. Hopefully starting next week kids that are using them, come out of isolation to free up bed space.

This is going to be the big spike and don’t know if supply will meet demand at the top.
