Fall sports look good to go!
Great news! We should all be celebrating that the virus does not affect young healthy people! Thanks for posting, OP.
This is great news!
Wasn't this the realistic probable outcome as far back as 3-4 months ago? Yet I saw a news segment this week about how parents are insisting on their kids going 100% online due an increase in "cases" at universities.johnnyblaze36 said:
Great news for all of us in this fight together.
I have 2 kids in college, not surprised by this news at all, and not worried. But I'm dumbfounded how many students and parents still think there is somewhat of a chance the kid will die of Covid. "Come home to Mama, we'll quarantine together, be safe". Safe from what?
Good grief.
I like the good news, but does everything have to be from some random person on Twitter? I assume there is a primary source for this?
Agree that it would be nice to see a source. Where is Keegan and what has he been doing lately?
Positive cases is the new Russia, Russia, Russia... Terrible statistic based on many reasons... Hospitalizations, ICU and deaths are the stats that are meaningful, IMHO.

I did a google search for it and it looks like they have suppressed the information as well.amercer said:

I did however find this from Fauci who said students should basically never leave campus. Sounds like he's for herd immunity after all.

The situation has become serious enough that Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation's leading infectious disease expert, is urging colleges: If at all possible, do not send students home.
"It's the worst thing you could do," he said Wednesday on NBC's "TODAY" show. "When you send them home, particularly when you're dealing with a university where people come from multiple different locations, you could be seeding the different places with infection," said Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.

Yea, I wouldn't call that a study. It's a compilation of media reports. And none of the media reports mention hospitalizations. While one would expect the press to report such information if available, its absence does not mean there are no hospitalizations.
Must be true, because as soon as the inevitable student is hospitalized, there's almost no doubt it will make national news.amercer said:

Also, pure statistics... This virus apparently has not ravaged that age group.johnnyblaze36 said:I did a google search for it and it looks like they have suppressed the information as well.amercer said:

As long as that stat remains materially the same, then the college kids need to remain in their bubble and carry on with their (strange new world) lives. Sending them home to be with mama, papa and the grandparents inside a house is like NY2.0 on nursing home COVID patients...
Isn't the whole point of this virus is that I could interact with one of these college students across the street from the Zachry building at Ihop and catch it from them and take it with me to my family?
None of it makes sense.

I think that we have learned enough about COVID19 that the combination of the small viral load carried by a young positive (the lower the load, the lower the ability to infect another) PLUS social distancing, masking and hand washing is highly likely to keep you from being able to be infected in that manner. It is a strange world though, and all of that may not be enough. Also, if your contact is more intimate than described above (not following all of the distancing, masking and washing suggestions), then you are more likely to be infected.johnnyblaze36 said:

For me, at my age, my wife and I have decided to watch Aggie football on television (I have not missed a home game for decades!). My kids ('98 and '02) get to use my tickets (if we win the opt in lottery). Part of that decision is to keep the two of us somewhat old farts away from the situation that you describe above.
Take care!
So that is exactly the point, why hold 50,000 students from going to the campus ihop, when they are not at risk category? Why would you go to a college campus restaurant or bar then straight to an elderly persons home?
It makes far greater sense for the at risk population which is much smaller and mostly retired to keep themselves holed up not the other 90% of the population.
I never understood the whole plan, instead of just dumping billions of dollars all Willy nilly around why didn't we spend it on the at risk population. I am not talking about the fat guy that is 45, I am talking over 65.

Easy come, Easy go
Very compelling! Thanks.johnnyblaze36 said:
The news just keeps on getting better and better. For the poster that said it would be nice to have further sources other than a random twitter user (which I agree), there are twenty-nine linked references within this tweet directly from each university cited.
I still don't understand the draconian measures on college campuses regarding covid-19.
Don't we want kids in an isolated area to get immune prior to returning home for the holidays???

Get used to it.
You won't understand the draconian measures put in place to mitigate the "Climate Crisis"
in the very near future either. Dictated by these same people in charge.

I've been saying that HWY 6 is more of a threat to students than Covid for a while now.
Glad to see some actual data validating me.
Great post.

Seriously, if they enacted the same types of measures for college students based on automotive accidents, then there would be no cars allowed anywhere near campus, or transporting to/from college.EyeBalz said:

If that stat is legit, it seems like college students are less likely to get hospitalized with C19 than without it.
There is this phenomenon

Myocarditis, inflammation of the heart muscle, has been found in at least five Big Ten Conference athletes and among several other athletes in other conferences, according to two sources with knowledge of athletes' medical care.
I saw about every media outlet post about Jamain Stephens death but not when the college came out a few days later and said it was not due to COVID. Some people need to realize someone 6'3" and 350+ is not healthy
Jamain Stephens death not COVID
Jamain Stephens death not COVID
This has been discussed in-depth by a heart doctor that was referenced on Texags and SEC.Carolin_Gallego said:
