"The dangers of COVID-19 are exacerbated because some individuals who contract the virus, especially those in the 18 to 22 year old range, may be pre-symptomatic, asymptomatic, or have mild symptoms and may not be aware they carry the coronavirus."
That and some 18-22 year olds just don't give a s&%t.

They have been testing incoming freshmen that are headed for the dorms at OSU, and are only finding a 2% infected rate, but if you test positive, you have to go to the quarantine dorm for the next two weeks. Almost half the students that test positive are going home. It would be a lot safer for the general community if they stayed the two weeks.

Yeah, my kid moved in Friday, got a test before she could do anything. took about 2.5 hours to get our results. It was a long day. Also it was only one person at a time in the elevator. that was a long line. and it wasn't fun huffing and puffing up stairs with suitcases and a mask... but some how, some way... I survived. Word on the street was they found a whopping 27 cases or so (from memory, something close to that) on Friday's move in day... My kid reports so far stuff has been chill. Kids in the dorm all hang out and mingle but it looks like here almost a week in, most people are throwing raging parties or anything of the like. Most stuff on campus is open, but you have to take all the food to go, which is largely the only bummer for them. Edit to add: everybody that moved in was pretty good about masks and space and stuff... so that was good to see. OSU had an army of people wandering around keeping the order.

I'm guessing you meant "(not) throwing raging parties"?
Good to hear that students are acting like adults at OSU!

Honest question, because I haven't been following.... Did OSU create their own police force, yet? Or what was the eventually fall out from the police (dont remeber if it was state corvallis or benton) vs. female bike rider incident?

Honestly, I have been quite impressed with OSU's level of preperaton, orginization and premptive measures. Driving around campus I was actually confused, it looked like a football weekend with tons of orange vested personel directing traffic, manning parking lots, moving boxes, testing, etc. This article says that about 2500 students moved in this last weekend, and Benton County had 27 positive cases, not all from students, but mostly. Probably hard to get a honest answer, but I would be curious to know if those students coming with teh virus were truly asymptomatic, or just hopefull that they had a cold, or knew they had it and just didn't care? My biggest quibble on the weekend is actually the media's headlines, including the one above. Using hyberolistic terms to describe the huge "spike" in covid numbers. When what the headlines should be conveying is how well OSU and Bentcon County Health Services has handled the influx of students, sigh. Whatever gets clicks I guess.

But, the new chief that was hired to start the on campus force has already quit, so we’ll see what happens at year end.

Given that Benton county has been single digit daily counts for months, one could say 27 is a spike... But I agree, once again, media went with the negative and the drama and chose not to celebrate the success.

It appears that the player had recovered from coronavirus and then got pneumonia afterwards. It appears that the dad determined that the pneumonia was caused by his son's fight with coronavirus. I mean it's not a huge logical leap, but you can get pneumonia an almost infinite number of ways without it being coronavirus-related.

I mean it's not a huge logical leap, but you can get pneumonia an almost infinite number of ways without it being coronavirus-related. Just so we are all clear, pneumonia simply means an infection of the lungs. It, it no way, speaks to what caused the infection. You can develop pneumonia from bacteria, viral, parasitic or environmental contaminants. Most cases of COVID manifest with pneumonia as a symptom. People can continue to have inflamed lungs after testing negative for COVID (or other infections). People can develop entirely NEW infections because their immune system has been weakened due to COVID (or anything else). Or people can just be unlucky and pick up something totally new and different. However, given that active measures for preventing one airborne disease, tend to work to prevent other ones. the odds the player just happen to catch something new is pretty low. It is more likely the player is simply experiencing prolonged symptoms from his COVID fight. But who knows.
