TC- hope you're having a good day. Are you at school in person or virtual? Are you on campus? How is it?
The day went well and I am so glad it's over, as I no longer feel like curling up inside the dryer. (Not with it on - it's like getting under the bed).
We have a mix of in-person and virtual. Freshman are in person as much as possible. I am teaching 28 students at a time in a room for 48 students, which allows them to be 6 feet apart. We are livestreaming and recording classes for students who do not want to be in person, can't be in person, or whatnot. Upper division classes are rotating 1/3 of the class in person M with the other 2/3 on livestream, another 1/3 in person W with 2/3 on livestream, etc.
That said, 23 sorority members (one house) were quarantined on Saturday because one had symptoms and the other 22 tested positive. We already had 22 quarantined from dorm-move-in. There was a LOT of partying this weekend, so none of us expect to be doing this "in person" thing for very long. UNC Chapel-Hill made it a week. The announced today that they're going back to all online. Their positivity rate jumped from about 3% to about 13% in that time... and we expect the same thing to happen here. The president did just email students basically saying "cut it out" (not in those words) but I doubt it will have an effect.
maybe she's born with it, maybe it's chlorine
