[Dr.bannedman]

ISU students, faculty and staff can also get tested at Thielen Student Health Center, as long as they are showing symptoms.

This is a FB post from a friend's daughter at U of Iowa. Looks like their students are getting the camera lens turned toward them now.

Tuscaloosa just shut down their bars for the next two weeks I believe. Smart move honestly.

Not good news.
During the first week of classes (Aug. 17-23), 957 students, faculty and staff were tested on campus with a total of 130 positive cases for a positivity rate of 13.6%.

If I understand it correctly, in the general student body/faculty/staff, they are not testing people unless you come in and think you have it and want tested. So if that is the case, only 1 out of 7 people who thought they had COVID actually did. But I could be wrong (let me ask my wife, she will tell me if I'm wrong-wait, she has never told me I am right . . . )

There are multiple kids at ISU with it and not getting tested. This is well beyond the 13.6% number. Matter of time they’ll pull them all out.

ISU is bound to have a higher positivity rate for awhile because students, employees, and staff are to take the daily symptom checker and to take their cues from that. If students show symptoms they will likely head to Thielen for testing. There’s a decent portion of staff still working from home that won’t add to that number as they will continue to stay home or get tested from their personal doctor and not count against that number.

48% positive at UI hospital. That is not good.

All the patients? New tests? Or what? Article wouldn’t come up.

Found out my niece knows this guy. He's from Panorama and he did break his leg.

Not surprising in the least. Kids, jumping off roofs is dumb.... Much, much dumber than either wearing or not wearing face diapers.

The CDC just recently stated if you are asymptomatic, you don't need to be tested.

I show it at 32% now. And that is positive cases for SYMPTOMATIC patients, not total tests.

that seems pretty dumb.

 

[Statefan10]

Yeah we don't really need to have a debate about the CDC and what they have and haven't said. Just saying that is indeed what they recently said.

The part where it states to remember you can still spread the virus if you feel fine and don't have symptoms? Yeah, incredibly contradicting.
