Right...I'm looking for a safe house....not easy to find ;)

We had a couple glasses from there for a while, and a few of us did a Mission Impossible photo with finger guns. Maybe you had to be there...

Not exactly sure.
He hurt his knee too?


I can't remember all the commentators on that show, been awhile since I seen it. The redheaded partridge family guy is on it. Sylvestor stallones brother always gets the drunk russians. There are a couple cute women comedians (Tonya not one of them). Basically a bunch of C listers trying to stay out of the projects.

Which leads to a very underrated show. I still watch occasionally.

Are they continuing to test ISU students? Or was this a 1 time test when they check into the dorms

How many have tested positive thus far?

It was a 1 time snapshot. They might take another picture with those returning after break in January but haven't heard anything yet.

Off the grid
Iowa State is launching the Symptom Checker self-check to assess for symptoms of COVID-19. All students, faculty, and staff will need to complete the self-check every morning as a good health practice, even those who continue to work remotely. If you are symptom-free, you may go about your regular schedule of class, work, or other on-campus activities. If you report symptoms that indicate a potential COVID-19 infection, you should stay home, and you will be directed where to reach out for more information about treatment or testing. The first Symptom Checker self-check will go out the morning of Monday, Aug. 17.

Was very impressed with the amount of kids/people wearing masks on Saturday. Few big groups of people, but even then, some of them were wearing masks.

Think it was a one time. 175 were in the initial test.
That is my understanding also. 175 positive out of 8,094 tested (2.1%). I am pretty certain those 175 had a better experience than that U of Iowa girl who was in the paper.

I'm not trying to start ****, but I'd be curious to know how many of those 175 students showed up to move-in day/testing day sick as a dog. Seems pretty silly, or even selfish, to go into large gatherings like that if you're really sick.

That's important for two reasons, both of which I'll make assumptions about. First, if very few of them were actually showing symptoms, meaning they weren't sick as a dog, there likely could be many more positives out there that haven't been tested. But second, that could also be a good thing, that ISU has very few, if any, sick students on campus.

They were specifically told not to come to move-in if they had any symptoms or were around anyone that had COVID, so I'd hope/expect that the number out of that 175 that came knowing they were sick was low.
