It’s finally time for Covid Thread Part Two: Back To School edition https://twitter.com/DannyPage/status/1237452490624225280
this entire thread is a good and sad place to start https://twitter.com/freeyourmindkid/status/1291067755186266113?s=21 https://twitter.com/Freeyourmindkid/status/1291067755186266113
Unlike places of business where they may never know if customers got sick there, schools are inexplicably choosing not to enforce mask wearing at their own peril. https://twitter.com/drjasonjohnson/status/1291012542215708674?s=21
As a grandson & son of a teacher and a school nurse, this sort of thing makes me furious. Is this organic from Facebook and email forwards, or is it planned? https://twitter.com/bubbaprog/status/1291370825287905280?s=20

Universities are centers of education and learning, but I’m not sure some of these administrators could be called “smart”

UNC alerts about covid clusters. Not even a month into the semester and it’s everywhere, just like everyone figured would happen! Do they even make it to September without sending folks home?

I’ve been telling you all along: You can either have in-person classes in August, or you can have in-person classes in November. UNC Chapel Hill picked August. See you all next calendar year. https://www.newsobserver.com/news/local/education/article245014185.html

Going “wait, we are supposed to plan for alternatives?” would have me questioning his ability as a coach tbh - https://twitter.com/emleiker/status/1295731509496668160?s=21 https://twitter.com/emleiker/status/1295731509496668160
guess most colleges chose the first option! wonderful! https://twitter.com/AbraarKaran/status/1289998391200477189?s=20
Amazing grift here. Collect tuition, room & board. Get kids on campus. Infect them with covid because the policies were bad. Send them home. Blame them. https://twitter.com/dailytarheel/status/1296534650031165443
That being said, maybe don't hold large recruitment events? https://twitter.com/TheBattOnline/status/1296177546900443143
Meanwhile, Duke has tested everyone before hand, and is testing up to 10,000 a week. Duke 1-0 UNC https://www.wral.com/why-has-duke-university-identified-fewer-covid-19-clusters/19243925/ https://twitter.com/sara__pequeno/status/1296586862807719936?s=20

Grand opening, grand closing.
This is a truly actually unmitigated disaster. Are these universities even trying to prevent an outbreak?? https://twitter.com/KerryHowley/status/1298208818841739264?s=20
$250 fine per party is nothing. Now, if per person, maybe. But maybe (and I hate this suggestion, FTR) have a curfew if folks have to be on campus? https://komonews.com/news/coronavirus/wsu-reports-substantial-increase-in-covid-19-cases-among-students

Relevant to schools AND NFL coming back: What happens when you don’t have any Wide Receivers? Or your entire OL is sick and quarantined? https://twitter.com/jasonkersey/status/1298323243003195399?s=20
Oh hey it’s that exact scenario that I mentioned, wild. https://twitter.com/BKubena/status/1298703326205431809?s=20

Whole lot of college towns in this list! More evidence that some sort of national shutdown on movement is the only way this thing is going to be extinguished. https://twitter.com/carorcummings/status/1300432454390611968?s=21 https://twitter.com/CaroRCummings/status/1300432454390611968

800 cases so far. Maybe some of the “hard science” folks will give credits to the “soft science” folks at some point? nah. https://twitter.com/yellingatwind/status/1301588828860235777?s=21 https://twitter.com/yellingatwind/status/1301588828860235777
Colleges just outright stealing from teenagers because they shouldn’t have been open in the first place https://twitter.com/bostonglobe/status/1302234866164142080?s=21 https://twitter.com/BostonGlobe/status/1302234866164142080
California: 4.3% positive cases, 85 cases p/100k last week

usually pretty rare that you can see the result of disastrous policy decisions so clearly.

No worries, just over 6% of the entire student body infected in a month. 11 more months and you’ll have full herd immunity (and lots of bad outcomes) https://twitter.com/wabenews/status/1303792794687934465?s=21 https://twitter.com/wabenews/status/1303792794687934465
Rest in peace. They aren’t a hero, resist that temptation. They are a victim of terrible policy decisions. https://twitter.com/jscollinsap/status/1303850961534943232?s=21 https://twitter.com/JSCollinsAP/status/1303850961534943232
And a 34 year old teacher also passed away.
Both hadn’t yet come into contact with students, but one wonders how well the schools were prepared for precautions in the first place, what their healthcare is like, and if this is the start of more deaths. https://www.stltoday.com/lifestyles/health-med-fit/coronavirus/potosi-teacher-dies-after-fight-with-covid-19-a-special-person-sister-says/article_da92cffd-ef0d-5e41-b209-546a3a54feda.html

okay, yeah, you can blame the students for this one https://twitter.com/cbsnews/status/1304502679482310659?s=21 https://twitter.com/CBSNews/status/1304502679482310659
We really need to have a rethink about what education really is at some point. A shame Ken Robinson passed away; his talks feel especially on point with what we’re asking students to do. https://twitter.com/isabellaaeden/status/1304423824872689664?s=21 https://twitter.com/isabellaaeden/status/1304423824872689664

even if most of the players are currently asymptomatic, an entire generation of players potentially picking up heart conditions is tragically short-sighted https://twitter.com/SportsCenter/status/1305919699289608200
and the “we just need to get back to normal, they might catch it anyway back at home” crowd is really quiet nowadays

UGA knew they were trying to sell a bill of goods when they knew they had to cut off the “but you’re playing football games” bit.

Georgia makes an appearance in this thread so often, but this might be the most insulting to those affected. https://twitter.com/coreygoergen/status/1308034340937490433
