YoloinOhio Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 Trying to get ahead of an anticipated “2nd wave” Keeping in mind ND is private so doesn’t need to abide by state government and health officials. But many Midwest campuses are opening in addition to the south 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ND had as well thought-out a plan as I've seen from any school/college/university, and on August 18 -- 8 days after opening! -- they've got a 19% positive test rate in their most recent batch of cases. All online for at least 2 weeks, and that's the good scenario; send 'em home (to seed COVID-19 all over the country) is the bad one. At this point I just say shut down all formal education for 2020-21. Put resources into small day care/learning "pods" for the little ones and freeze everyone's high school/college status. The health care experts are reasonably confident that a vaccine or vaccines may put the worst of this far behind us by next summer. We can pick up where we left off then.

The best thing I can say is that this is off the beaten path because otherwise every TBD "expert" will be coming for ya.

Passepartout Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Well just hope that they can know what they are doing. Whether they are football or sports or that of in trying to decrease the cases there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good Luck my friend Thanks, I know they'll be gunnin' for me. But I just don't get it -- to get political for a moment here: the Trump Administration has done one very smart thing in response to COVID-19, Operation Warp Speed. Many promising vaccines are in development, and the USA is fronting the cost for producing several vaccines even before we know whether they'll be approved as safe and effective. This is a strong and creative policy response. And any normal administration would be touting that, not fringe-y treatments and preposterously optimistic "it'll go away on it's own" scenarios. The message should be: hunker down. Don't take risks. Wait it out. The vaccine is coming. You'll be able to do all those discretionary activities soon enough. But that would be a different administration, wouldn't it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted August 19, 2020 Author Share Posted August 19, 2020 Moving classes online isn’t going to curb the cases here. In one scenario, the students are still living on campus and going to parties, which was the instigator for the spike. Not in person classes. In another scenario, students go home, which for A large percentage of ND students, is not south bend or even the state of Indiana. And then Return in 2 weeks? Even worse.

Mike in Horseheads Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Adam Rittenberg @ESPNRittenberg · 13m #NotreDame reports five players have tested positive for COVID-19 in latest round. Team wanted to receive this set of tests before resuming practice, given the campus outbreak. Irish will not practice for the second straight day before another round of testing.

I really hope there is college football this fall. Even though my team is “postponed” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
