In better news, Iowa has moved into the category of declining cases (two-week moving average) per John Hopkins.

An overwhelmed healthcare system has little time to ponder different approaches and try different things. One that is smoothly operating well below capacity does.Are you saying given the same amount of time, less observed cases would lead to faster and more effective therapeutic treatments? That's an interesting take.
Makes you wonder about the production and distribution of a vaccine if/when one is developed, doesn't it?

Yep and what happens when x % are positive at the start or every week? What are Purdue students and parents prepared to live with?
They stay in. Don't go around elderly folk. Its two weeks or so. We can do it. The kids will be fine. And they know the risks going in, this is no surprise, so if someone cannot handle this then take a semester off.
It is very easy for a lot of them, but there are still some professors that might be a few legs back as far as technology goes.Are we assuming we're disciplined enough as a society to be able to follow this?
You'd think this would be common sense but man alive people can be stupid.
Positive would be that if someone's at college, perhaps they're naturally or forced to not be able to be around vulnerable people.
I guess I don't know how colleges operate now but is it pretty easy for a prof to webcam it for class/lecture?

Sadly, I agree. I’m really going to miss sports through the fall and winter. At the outset, it seemed like maybe we’d get games sans fans, but we’re nowhere close to having this situation under control and it’s only getting worse. There simply aren’t enough resources available - mainly in testing capacity - in order to make it reasonably safe for the players, staff, etc. We need every bit of testing capacity right now just to try to keep the rest of the economy functioning.The entire 2020-21 college sports season is eff'd. No doubt in my mind now. There's just no way it can be done. Kids aren't even back on campus yet. The whole house of cards is gonna come crashing down by end of July.
Zero chance there is no football. I can't imagine what this would do to schools around the country, especially ISU.

That's not what Iowa's own data shows. We've been steadily increasing in cases the last few weeks and hospitalizations/ICU usage has started inching back up in the last week or so.
I think there will be football, but with no outside fans. Maybe it will be just students watching the games......
John Hopkins data is based on Iowa data and is the metric outlets like CNN use to determine which states are in decline and which states are increasing. Obviously they are using a bit different time scales.
