Is this another term for privilege?
Maybe he has some hawkeye in him.
Is this another term for privilege?
With the old adage that any publicity is good publicity? I guess I have my ISU cardinal colored glasses on and am assuming we will pull this off without huge issues. If it goes south, it will not be good publicity for ISU, but if they are correct and pull it off, lots of sports casters will be jawing about it.How are we defining "huge publicity win" in this context?
its Sept. 5thNo, it may not be published, but I know of a person in our group that opted out today and it was accepted.
... So you take story county and add about cases from another third of the people but don’t divide by that, it makes it different than northwestern adding into Chicago. ...
I agree with these comments.... I don't think anyone should have been surprised by this, either. Even if there weren't parties (which is laughable), students by nature live in close quarters and have more community spaces. Most students interact with the community in some nature, so there is going to be community spread from them that will be trickling down coming up. ...
1214 active nfections for 8/31: https://iowacovid19tracker.org/story-county/
It went up by ~79, maybe that's what you're seeing?
Thanks Angie, now I understand. Yes 79 is the daily positive, down from 134 Sat, 232 on Fri and 165 on Thurs. Heading in the right direction after a sudden spike. Not sure if this is due to students returning or has as much to do with adding in and dumping antigen data, having really dug in to the specifics on that. Iowa City has had a bigger spike in daily numbers. I doubt a football game will make any difference myself, but we will be able to compare Iowa City (without any games) and Ames numbers. Although there are so many variables it may be meaningless.
I have a friend who is a professor at an east coast university, he says his students tell him he is the only one doing in person classes. (University policy is they are suppose to be 50% in person). What do you think a bunch of college students who have been locked away for 6 months now living in dorms, apartments and greek houses are going to do with very little class work going on. (My son in college tells me it takes him about 5 hours total a week to do all his distance learning.) So many precautions have unintended negative consequences.
In the email there’s a link to the mitigation pdf. In that document, go to InGame—>seating and see the third bulletin point.Not in the email to ticketholders, it wasn't. I haven't read everything from his press conference, perhaps he mentioned it there.

But masks.This isn’t going to work. You may be able to spread them out seating wise, but it’s going to be pointless when everyone gets up to leave at halftime or at the end of the game breathing down everyone’s neck trying to get out of there.
"I love football stadiums with 25,000 people." - Covid-19
Well, I guess Ames got what it wanted due to the ISU students.Ames schools going online 100% and all fall sports canceled per tonight board meeting. Meanwhile, across town ....

Even with masks, 25,000 people inside a stadium is idiotic. Let’s put aside our love for watching live football here folks. Take off the football goggles. Iowa has the highest rate of COVID in the nation right now. Let’s not be dumb.But masks.
