Since June 10, there have been 1,691 tests with 10 positives for .59% positivity rate. ▪ Charlotte’s game Sept. 19 at North Carolina will have a 3:30 p.m. kickoff on a regional sports network that’s yet to be determined. ▪ Conference USA announced Monday that football players will be tested for the coronavirus three times a week. Also, all game day and operations staff must meet NCAA and C-USA policy guidelines for testing.

JMU Wrote:We started this academic year in the midst of a pandemic that has disrupted all aspects of our lives. We spent the last several months planning to start this year with a mix of in-person, hybrid, and online classes. In the days since students have been back on campus, we have observed their vibrancy, excitement to engage with their faculty, and large-scale adherence to COVID-19 rules and guidance. However, we have also observed troubling public health trends. As a result of a rapid increase in the number of positive cases of COVID-19 in our student population in a short period of time, the university is concerned about capacity in the number of isolation and quarantine spaces we can provide. Protecting the health of our Harrisonburg and Rockingham County community—including students, faculty, staff—is our top priority, and we need to act swiftly to stop the spread as best we can.

The CDC's new data broke down a death count of 153,504 from a few weeks ago, saying just 9,210 people had only COVID-19 listed as their only cause of death RE: Tracking the return of JMU sports (no discussions of validity of covid pandemic) - JMURocks - 09-01-2020 08:06 PM (09-01-2020 07:37 PM)Dukester Wrote:(09-01-2020 06:42 PM)Centdukesfan Wrote: everything is so freaking stupid Has also been my view, given they can implement safety protocols and quarantine type measures. The letter seems to suggest they weren’t fully prepared for the volume of cases and don’t believe they have enough quarantine capacity. What I don’t fully understand is what it takes to convert a dorm into a quarantine zone. If everyone in a dorm is already infected, they can all interact for two-four weeks or whatever and do their studies online, or maybe food delivery, etc is an issue? Or we have too many off-campus students? Think I’ve heard of some schools having up to 50% of their dorms designated as “quarantine” zones.

So what? My cousin was 25 and healthy when he was hit by a pickup truck that had run a red light while he was on his motorcycle. Listed cause of death? Heart failure. His heart only failed because he was hit by an F-150. Statistically, getting crushed by a multi ton vehicle had nothing to do with his death, in the real world, he would likely still be alive today (22 years later) but for that truck. Similarly, people with comorbidities aren’t counted in your number, even though the diabetes, or obesity, or compromised immune system, or high blood pressure wouldn’t have killed them without the covid. Good god, the lengths some of you will go to in order to deny the seriousness of this thing.

I have no doubt that a poster that quotes themselves about two different topics likely took false assumptions from the new CDC data.

RE: Tracking the return of JMU sports (no discussions of validity of covid pandemic) - JMU2004 - 09-02-2020 06:28 AM JMU's biggest failure was NOT requiring students to submit COVID tests results prior to returning to campus. I know it can be expensive, but how can you stop the spread when you don't even know who is bringing it back to campus.

Agree, I thought it was a given they would either do this, or test all students on arrival. Both would have been even better. I was surprised when someone posted here that they were only testing symptomatic students. It also sounds like they greatly underestimated needed quarantine capacity.
