BATON ROUGE - LSU is canceling international trips for its students and employees as coronavirus fears grow worldwide.

The school stated in an advisory that all international study abroad trips are canceled starting March 6 through August 17, 2020.

Students currently in study abroad programs in countries labeled with Level 3 or Level 4 travel advisories by the U.S. Department of State or the Center for Disease Control due to the COVID-19 outbreak have already returned home and are under self-quarantine for 2 weeks.

Students in lower level countries will continue their studies, until travel advisories change.

Anyone approved to travel internationally before Aug. 17, 2020 will have to be reapproved through the High Risk Travel process.

Imagine cancelling a major event due to what is statistically nothing in this country.

It's statistically nothing in this country because the US has conducted fewer than 2,000 tests.

As many as possible.

The figures we gathered suggest that the American response to the coronavirus and the disease it causes, COVID-19, has been shockingly sluggish, especially compared with that of other developed countries. The CDC confirmed eight days ago that the virus was in community transmission in the United States—that it was infecting Americans who had neither traveled abroad nor were in contact with others who had. In South Korea, more than 66,650 people were tested within a week of its first case of community transmission, and it quickly became able to test 10,000 people a day. The United Kingdom, which has only 115 positive cases, has so far tested 18,083 people for the virus.

Less than two dozen per state are being conducted per day. This weekend they'll be able to test around 100 per day. I imagine numbers will climb as a result
