Social Distancing at ISU

[cycloneG]

Having a PCR positive doesn’t mean one has active Covid19, which is the disease.

It means you’ve been exposed to Covid-19 and people shed dead virus (non-contagious) for up to 12 weeks after infection, which can trigger a positive test.

They tested everyone before classes started and only 249 tested positive at that time. The 1000 new positives are from new infections over the last two weeks.

Ames, Iowa City COVID Outbreaks Are Worst In The World

Iowa's exploding COVID-19 outbreaks at state universities in Ames and Iowa City are now disasters that can only be fully measured on a global scale. Ames

While I agree that ISU's numbers are high, comparing them to other countries and states is a massive injustice. I see they say this is a political site, I love when those get linked. (Do I need the pirate?)

They tested everyone moving into on campus facilites, 8,000 people roughly. Or is that our fall attendance, 8,000?

The article says they tested 30,000 returning students. We're discussing the large increase in positives at Alabama, not ISU.

O.k. I had it wrong there. I had just read the ISU one and didn't catch that there was another article. My bad.

There’s no way ISU should be playing football, but if they do, you absolutely cannot have any fans there.

Ames Iowa is the worst hotspot in the entire world. Let that sink in. Way to go ISU students... you’re being called a national embarrassment!

Actually if you look at the data today. Johnson county passed Story county today for percentages. So we aren't number one anymore.

Keep the pure political stuff in the cave. You can control yourself.

I'm pretty interested in that number. I chatted with a few kids that were going CC route since they were switched to nearly all online and figured they could change up one class and save the money driving to a NIACC or DMACC.

It’s just nice to finally be recognized for our lack of efforts.

Don't drive to DMACC. Almost entirely online.

Are they sick, article doesn’t say? I think it’s worth watching if an uptick in ER visits in Tuscaloosa for Covid like illness then in the next week or so, followed by hospitalization admittance. Same can be said for Mary Greeley in Ames.

It concerns ISU but also in general, am I the only one that’s surprised that fitness centers and gyms are still open?

Surprised or disappointed?
It doesn't surprise me, since Iowa does as little as possible, and maybe less, but it's ridiculous that they are.

New CDC report shows 94% of COVID-19 deaths in US had contributing conditions

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released new data last week that depicts how many Americans who have died from COVID-19 also had other contributing conditions.

Would you look at that we've been lied to this whole time. Time To open everything back up.

This backs up what we've known for months and we are being lied to?

The fact that most people who end up hospitalized or die have comorbidities has been well known and repeatedly emphasized throughout this whole thing... by, well, everyone.

As has the fact that a metric **** ton of Americans have one or more risk factors
