Don't know first hand but I've heard similar and it came out a while ago that reported cases included antibody results.
With so many variables in how the cases get reported I try to look at general weeklyish trends since a bunch of cases reported one day could very well be from about a week earlier.
Young people everywhere are fed up with the stages of lockdown. It's not just an 801 day problem.
I'd be more concerned about the urine and fecal matter in the water with that man people...

I think that's more of a celebration as restrictions were lifted and they've had no 'reported' new cases for a long time.
And I'm still not understanding why people are acting like all of these ISU students were on lockdown. A vast majority of them are from Iowa, correct? People have been gathering this whole time.

Pretty well every state has said that they don't count it in the confirmed cases, but only in the probable:
Are antibody tests included in the state’s reporting? Yes and no
One question that comes up consistently in response to our reporting on the daily case numbers is: does the number of COVID-19 cases in Ohio include antibody tests? Well, yes and no. It’s complicated. Here’s as simple as an explanation as we can provide.

Antibody tests counted separate from COVID-19 tests, ISDH says
INDIANAPOLIS — As coronavirus cases continue to go up, many people are getting antibody tests to see if perhaps they had the virus at one point or if they are able to fight it off a second time.&nb…

It looks like the state of Iowa just breaks serology results out into their own metric to avoid the whole question (see bottom of page 10 of this document from the IDPH): LINK
But the University is more than willing to bring these kids back and take their money...
I think individual responsibility inevitably lies in the students for not following the rules, but I also find culpability with the University for even bringing them back, knowing full well what the outcome would be.
I'm also trying to be a bit empathetic because I'm not sure 18-22 year old Clonefan32 would have followed the rules to a tee either. I imagine it's difficult knowing you are only college aged once and knowing it's supposed to be some of the best years of your life. That doesn't justify what is just brazenly disobeying the protocols, but I can also understand where they are coming from a bit.
I don't want to come off as being rude or trying to make you sound stupid because that is not my intention.
But if anyone believes anything that comes out of communist China, when it comes to COVID. I've got some ocean view property in Iowa you should buy
Haha yeah agree and should re-word that as no new 'reported' cases but I do think the reason they're partying in the pool is due to comfort from restrictions being lifted a long while ago, not some form of revolt like the Germany protests a few weeks ago.
So the Register has a story about a “horrifying” data glitch to the State’s numbers where they are counting current positive tests as having happened months ago when the patient tested negative.
Local schools should not have to rely on their BS to make decisions.

We can prepare 18-22 year old people for the real world but many in the real world aren't taking this seriously. My neighbor was working the Iowa State Softball Tournament. He said the vast majority of adults in attendance were not wearing masks nor social distancing. If adults don't give a crap how can we expect 18-22 year olds, many of whom could be children of those at the softball tournament, to give a crap. I read an article recently about a journalist who visited the Iowa Great Lakes over the Independence Day holiday. In short, no masks, no social distancing, and he almost got his ass beat when he wore a mask to a convenience store.
Students who host parties that do not comply with social distancing and mask guidelines could also face punishment, Plowman said, adding that "we will hold the party host accountable." However, there will not be a punishment for disclosing that you attended a party to a contact tracer, Plowman added.
"We will hold you responsible, and it’s possible that you could be expelled from school and I will not hesitate to do that if our students are irresponsible," Plowman said.

University of Tennessee says it tracked COVID-19 cluster to student party
Campus COVID-19 cases more than doubled in the week leading up to the start of classes Wednesday.

I think people don’t give college kids enough credit. Last time I was in campustown I saw a group of freshman girls walking down the street drinking from plastic water bottles. Glad to see they were being responsible and staying hydrated on a hot summer night.
I recently gave blood so I looked at my papers
A blood center cannot, without written permission, release any information unless required by law. Hepatitis, syphilis, and HIV will be reported to the health department
It said nothing about having to report a positive serology test
I agree with this based on my not scientific observations at the grocery store. Younger people seem more likely to wear masks and social distance than the 30-50 folks.
My own two college students did something they said they were done with and decided to get an apartment together rather than with friends because they are concerned about choices with the virus. They agreed to help their cousin with distance learning for her daughter, who is undergoing yet another round of chemo, and between the two of them are covering three days a week. Trying very hard not to expose the little girl, wearing masks and face shields.
First - You've raised thoughtful human beings!
Second - I'm sure there are many more college kids not at the bars doing the right things vs. the ones at the bars.
