I used 5% as a low estimate.

It’s probably like 10% so that would mean of the incoming class, 3,000 kids will have been kept off campus due to covid.
This Could keep a school open much longer until a vaccine is created.


I’m guessing LSU gonna shut down within 3 weeks

I'll do it this way....
Not giving a damn about shutting down businesses, making people go bankrupt, increasing suicides and ODs, is a reckless attitude for a fighting virus that kills very few of the people that get it and is know not only impact a small segment of the population

We got us a drama queen over here.

We are talking about testing university students. Get a grip and stick to the topic.

I think we all know that the colleges will be shutting down at some point. The question is at what point where will colleges draw the line on infection rate?

If LSU gets 100 cases in the first week, it might sound like a lot but with 30,000 kids, that’s nothing. Even 500 in the first week isn’t much.

So at what point will they just shut it all down?

I guess if the answer is a blunt “no” then the next question is whether they should make positive tested kids go back home?

LSU is requiring kids to go back home if they’re symptomatic or test positive for Covid.
Why don’t they just let them stay in housing?

Doesn’t do any good unless they create a campus bubble that no one can leave or enter.

There is no real monetary incentive to be online. In fact, administrations are the ones pushing face to face.
