The ACC will delay the start of competition for all fall sports until at least Sept. 1

To be fair there were 130 out of 50k. That’s .0026. It was no where near 13.6% which would be 6800. They got the tuition and room/board collected and they can play football now. That’s the important part.

Oh it’s up to 130 now? It may be 200 within a couple days. If they keep that up, it may eventually be equal to the infection rate of the general population. LOL

To be fair UNC doesn’t have 50,000 students. More like 30k max. The percentages are still small so far but if you’re going to make math arguments at least get the numbers right. And 13.6%’is the percentage of positive tests.

Sorry to bring in facts. 235 positives out of 954 tests at UNC. 30,000 on that campus. https://www.cnbc.com/2020/08/17/uni...ing-after-coronavirus-outbreak-on-campus.html

I used to think it was crazy talk that the second wave would be worst than the first. We have so much better information than we dId back in 1918. Seeing the comments here and videos in college towns, I now think it is likely to get a lot worse again. Oh well, we'll see.

Has UNC stopped football practice?

They have (or had) over 50k undergrads, grad students, faculty & staff combined. 130 is a small number & they all didn’t catch it the first week back. Obviously some brought it with them. Maybe most brought it with them but the media got what they wanted, some politicians got what they wanted & the school got to act like they care about student welfare and got the money. Win-win-win-win.

They more than likely caught it on Franklin Street or at frat parties. Latest I’ve seen is about 20k undergrad, maybe 10k grad school. The only way you get to 50k is to include the medical center. FWIW NC State is the largest campus in the university system Either way it’s a small number but a big jump in a few days.

There’s actually 65k in Chapel Hill but you’re right. Rates are absolutely skyrocketing. That 130 could be 142 by tomorrow and who knows 153 the day after that. They need to lock it down like Chernobyl. Send in the National Guard and get this thing under control asap people. Crap’s about to hit the fan.

You should graph your projections. Not really, your projections suck. Maybe you could tell me what kind of function you would use to fit the real data, though, and start there.

they have severely under-estimated the love of college football in the mid-west. Somebody is getting nervous. I have no idea what is the right move, but neither does anyone

Help me out I’m trying to find the crisis where none exists. Maybe if we write enough stories about it we can declare it to be true? Until then there’s an immensely huge pile of 130 cases rivaling only the number of people irrationally freaking out about it. Everybody else is yawning.

You mean 65k total population of Chapel Hill?

I am helping you figure it out. What kind of function fits the spread of cases?

 

[takethepoints]

Im just trying to comprehend how stupid you have to be think that is what is really going on and that is ignoring the fact that Warren's son is 22 years old and he can't actually stop him from doing anything.

Someone once asked Harry Truman how to give career advice to your children. Truman's reply: "Find out what they want to do, then advise them to do it."

Truer words were never spoken.

 

[Oldgoldandwhite]

Yep, like we’ve been saying on here. It’s not the football that is the problem.

Yep. There were some on here thinking college students would not act like college students. As long as there are guys chasing girls, there will be no social distancing.

I’ll give you a hint. People have been trying to figure this out since the onset of the pandemic and still do not know. You do mean what type of distribution best fits the data we have? I don’t sit around and review statistical analysis of data but I seriously doubt anyone has derived a function to fit the spread of cases. Actually, I’m 100% positive.

UNC-CH was trying to not have 13.6% of their students test positive. According to a UNC parent I talked to yesterday, the cluster at Granville was especially large when you included students with mild symptoms who had not yet been tested. The unknown (publicly) is the contact tracing which was still underway today and probably producing a wide swath of potential cases.

13.6% of those who tested. If they’re worried about positive test rates, they can require large amounts of people be tested and the problem goes away. The bigger problem is as we’ve been saying on here, the virus will spread through dorms, apartments, bars, restaurants, and fraternity/sorority parties. Hopefully this will turn out like the Michigan State event this summer where 200 people tested positive and not a single one ever really got sick.

UNC announces it is switching undergraduate courses to 100% online effective Wednesday.
Students can cancel contracts with Carolina Housing with no penalty and residents with hardships will have the option to remain on campus

All undergraduate courses to be delivered remotely starting Wednesday

All undergraduate courses are shifting to remote learning effective Wednesday, UNC announced in an email Monday. Since Friday, the University has confirmed four clusters of COVID-19, at Ehringhaus Residence Hall, Hinton James Residence Hall, Granville Towers and the off-campus fraternity...

They also urged students to leave campus and go home to take there classes on line. I live in Chapel Hill and my wife and I predicted this would happen. We don't go to town when the students are back. UNC students tend to come back to town a week before classes to party and it happened. I fear GT will have problems with the Greeks. This prime time for rush and parties. This behavior may kill fall football.

we‘ll see soon. Rush apparently ended yesterday

What would happen to the ACC if one president decided to shut down fall sports due to safety of the players. Duke pulled the plug on the basketball tournament last year. It could really upend the schedules if it happened mid season. Would they be forced to forfeit.
