I was told about this coed from my sister in Lubbock.

Three confirmed cases in Lubbock

Quote:

---

A Texas Tech student who was "evacuated" from Europe to Lubbock has tested positive for COVID-19, according to a letter Tech President Lawrence Schovanec sent to the Tech community.

---

She violated her 14-day quarantine and traveled to numerous public places.

The City reports, for students returning from abroad, Tech arranged transportation and a place to stay, allowing for a 14-day isolation period.
According to the City, based on their initial investigation, the student did not follow these directions and returned to a family home in Lubbock.
According to a city statement, the student reported developing COVID-19 symptoms while traveling to Lubbock and while visiting a local restaurant.
Though the City reports the risk is minimal, the student visited the Lubbock Airport from 8:45 p.m. to 9:15 p.m. on Sunday, March 15 and was at Rosa's Cafe 4th Street and Quaker Avenue between 9:30 p.m. and 11 p.m. on Sunday, March 15.

Lubbock folks probably reason their immunity is pretty battle hardened at this point.

what more could have been done? she was told to quarantine for 14 days....what measure would have forced her? A shelter in place at that time was not feasible. This revisionist history of what could have been done is a waste of breath.

Exactly. Freedom can come at a price.

And this is why the steps we took were a day late and a dollar short. You can't expect people to make smart decisions or care about anything but themselves. She got home, "felt fine" and decided to go about her life.

We all hate her for it, but just go check the Politics corona thread and set your date 7 days back and you'll find plenty of college educated posters that still didn't believe this was a big deal and were travelling out because they "felt fine".

But we also didn't have symptoms. It said in the article she already had symptoms.

There is a huge difference in someone who came from an area of known active virus transmission as this person did, and someone who had no known exposure nor has traveled.

She knew she could have been exposed, and even when sick, still went out in public.

No one said a person coming back from a place like Italy or Spain, or someone who is sick, should just go roaming all over the place.

---

My point is all of the warnings for these half-measures that days later were obviously useless because people don't really listen.

She felt fine, so she went out. There's plenty of posters in that thread that -- even acknowledging that we were supposed to be socially distancing -- felt fine and went out... Because they didn't realize that they could still be spreading the virus "feeling fine".

Even right now there's still people that look at you funny outside when you are going out of your way to keep 6 feet away from them -- because in their mind "they feel fine so they are fine".

Whether you think it's going to make a lick of difference in the grand scheme of things or not, the way we've slowly doled out more and more restrictions after each day finding out it's worse than we thought has caused a lot of people who don't constantly keep updated (the majority of America) to still believe that:

* If they aren't elderly
* If they aren't feeling sick
* If they don't have a dry cough


Then they are perfectly fine.

It said she developed systems on her way back to Lubbock and/or at Rosas (Sunday night).

That's not to say she wouldn't have left for Lubbock if she felt bad, but it's more likely she was told to quarantine, felt fine, and traveled home.
