My bad.

quote:

The dashboard shows 135 new COVID-19 cases — 130 students and fives employees — for the week of Aug. 10 to Aug. 16.

According to the dashboard, the cumulative rate of positive COVID-19 test results at UNC-Chapel Hill is 10.6 percent — higher than the statewide rate of 7.5 percent. Among the 954 tests conducted the week of Aug. 10, 135 positives, or 13.6 percent, were reported. About 10 new cases were reported in previous weeks.

"As of this morning, we have tested 954 students and have 177 in isolation and 349 in quarantine, both on and off campus," university officials wrote in a statement. "So far, we have been fortunate that most students who have tested positive have demonstrated mild symptoms."

I really don't think the K-12 schools are going to be an issue with positives going up all that much.

I can see the concern with the college kids, especially those living in dorms. My daughter's dorm is being very strict though and it sucks for a first time college student having to go through this.

As always, I say move on with life and protect the most at risk.
