The University of Alabama on Monday released the first numbers of on-campus COVID-19 test results that raised alarm bells internally.

A total of 531 confirmed cases between students, faculty and staff were reported on the Tuscaloosa campus since classes resumed Aug. 19, UA announced Monday evening. The dashboard did not include how many were tested Aug. 19 through Aug. 23 or the rate of positive tests.

Surprise surprise. And bars have to start closing again.

Advice to college students: Take a gap year immediately.

How many died or were debilitated permanently?

We aren't going back to normal anytime soon. I think school can re-start but things will drastically have to change.

Out of 500 with a lethality rate of 0.7% means about 3 people died. But since they're young, probably one 1 will die.


And that doesn't count parents and grandparents who'll get infected and die.

Yes, more than 500 of whom a percentage may die. Your concern for the well-being of your fellow Americans is noted.

You have already been told in a previous post, but I guess you think any number of deaths are acceptable. I love how you lot want to ignore 175,000 deaths, and counting.

Yes, that's what the teachers union wants

It's what I want, as I don't want morons putting my family at risk. My wife and kid are back on the front line because the governor wants to kiss Tweety's ass.

Go back to e-learning.

With a solid plan.

Geezus, I started a thread about 9,000 kids in FL testing positive. Is it that freaking hard for a global superpower like America to act like it and do something about our children and the tough situation parents are in?? Not that I have all the answers but I can surely see there is so much we are not doing at this time.

Actually, it's pretty good

In fact so good, you didn't want to answer it

Well since your premise was infantile it didn't deserve an adult response. Are you seriously suggesting that anyone actually wants more deaths? That, old chum, is the response of a child with no argument.
