I was worried for Geraldo tooAt least now I don’t have to be worried about what my non existent child will do without eating at the game for 5 hours.
I knew that, but not sure many do. The way people throw that around is almost like they think that 15% of the population is positive..
This speaks volumes of the leadership that can make a decision and is not afraid to reverse itself. In fact i trust them more now that these events have happened.
It was probably more people who never would have attended the game at all, but are paying customers to the university- the students and their parents, who are already very unhappy about the mostly-online but full rate situation and having 25,000 fans in the stadium runs completely against that.
You've gotta remember that Wendy has larger constituencies than just the sports fans.
I would hope all of the above were on board or at least consulted about the original decision. I would doubt their opinions changed in 2 days.
The outrage was mainly from those sitting behind a computer screen that wont go to the game anyway.
How was Wendy unaware of this before Monday? That's the thing that keeps baffling me.
In before I read the over 200 responses so far (hand sanitizer and face mask on). Although I am disappointed in the reversal, I trusted the administration when the original decision was made and I trust them now. This speaks volumes of the leadership that can make a decision and is not afraid to reverse itself. In fact i trust them more now that these events have happened.
Hard to say, a lot can change over a month.Odds for fans at the O/U game?
This doesn’t speak volume to leadership at all. lol leadership shouldn’t need a mob to make their decisions.
I contend the real 'coronabros' are the ones who go out and engage in nonessential high-risk activities and complain about having to wear a mask ,and act like those of us who simply limit our risk are 'giving up' or 'living in our basement' or any other number of things they've said to attack those doing the right things to get us through this sooner.
Smh. Definitely a joke, but the virus isn’t nearly as serious as you seem to think it is. The average age of death is around 74! Just like most countries in Europe, or in U.S. New York, Florida, Arizona, etc, the virus spikes and we see high cases, then it goes back down when it gets through enough people. Has already hit work in central Iowa for me the last couple weeks. Nobody has had symptoms any worse than a common cold. Half have had none. Deaths, cases, and hospitalizations have dramatically decreased the past few days in the United States. It’ll be okay, there’s a lot of things out in this world that are riskier than dying of covid.This is seriously problematic misinformation. It means that 15% of the tests in Iowa on a specific day came back as positive. It's not total number of Iowans. And a positive test means all sorts of things - including asymptomatic people
I would guess she has her hands full guiding s university in the middle of a pandemic. Maybe it isn't her first priority.How was Wendy unaware of this before Monday? That's the thing that keeps baffling me.
Don't kid yourself. The Karens of the world would have been out in full force at even 25%. You can never appease a mob.
Is this true? I was under the impression that the inherent flaw (that your sample is skewed towards positive) prevents sampling risk from being reduced enough in order to make predictions about the population. Also, the sample size may be too small.But you can reasonably extrapolate that out to the total population with a +\- attached to it.
