TCU sees big turnaround in its fight against COVID-19

By Dionne Anglin

FORT WORTH, Texas - TCU has seen a dramatic outcome, and not just the football team’s big win over the University of Texas Longhorns.

The university also scored a significant turnaround in its fight against COVID-19. As of Thursday, TCU reports 14 active cases campuswide, a number that had been in the hundreds.

“I do think students are wearing their masks, trying to social distance themselves. They’re not partying as much as like during the first couple weeks of school,” graduate student Karen Winters said.

Was I supposed to type something here?
The disease quickly spread through the student body. Students who did not have either natural immunity or had previously had the active antibodies from a previous infection, got it, dealt with it, and were fine shortly thereafter. Young people have about a 99.995 percent chance of getting better quickly.

Now that the students have all been exposed, and the disease has run it's course through the student body, they will have achieved Herd Immunity. Additionally, steps taken to "stop the spread" actually impeded this process for a couple of weeks for no good reason at all, given the lethality of the disease among this age group.

Stupid fear porn.

Thought I read somewhere that Greeks were being encouraged (by their peers) to get tested off campus so as to avoid potential social restrictions for their respective fraternities/sororities. Whatever number that is may be inconsequential at this point.

The virus did what it was going to do and there were some coincidental adjustments made by students and faculty that are true, but unrelated.

wait, what type of doctor says such a thing?

sink may kick you out of the killerfrogs doctors club if you keep posting like that

remember it is because they wore their masks, washed their hands, stayed 6' apart, and cowered in fear

Yes it is. Very commonly said by physicians, especially internists.
Basically, anytime two events both occur but are not causal or related in any way. It is an easy way to disparage poorly conducted research that does not adequately account for the different variables which make some people falsely interpret something as causal when it is not.

Also a common refrain among pharmaceutical researchers. Sometimes it creeps into the commercial-side lexicon when evaluating package inserts and trials that miss their primary endpoint but someone attempts to use the secondary endpoints.
