大学开学后新冠感染情况令人担忧

有一个NYU 的AP总结了一下:
So reopening schools fall into one of four categories: Limited Testing, in Areas with Spread. See: UNC. These were the first dominos to fall. Also see: the University of Iowa—with over a thousand self-reported cases, and a situation that appears pandemic. Or South Carolina, where students were suggested to test on arrival (but not forced), where there are a thousand students now testing positive with a 28% test positivity rate. These situations are already disasters and there are no good options there for University Administrators. Do you send students home, and seed the crisis throughout the state, or would you rather keep students in dorms letting the disease spread throughout the entire student population? Whatever savings these Universities hoped to realize through dorm fees will be eaten up in Class Action Lawsuits in the years to come. Limited Testing, Minimal Local Spread. As an example, see the CUNY system. NYC is one of the safer parts of the country right now—but the CUNY system is seeing ~230 cases according to the NYT University tracker. (York College for instance notes “Not everyone needs to be tested for coronavirus, according to the CDC.” 🙄). Temple University tested on arrival, but not subsequently—in the relatively low prevalence region of Philadelphia (3-4% test positivity rates). They saw cases climb quickly to over 100, causing a temporary shutdown (Temple does also have a number of commuter students). I think it’s likely these schools will deteriorate, but maybe over a longer time frame. More Testing, Minimal Local Spread. These include schools in the Broad Institute Umbrella in the Northeast—BU, Harvard, Babson, MIT, Yale, etc.; Cornell, which put some thought in their reopening plan; and Chicago with a mass testing plan (and isn’t even on campus yet). So far these cases seem to be going well. Schools are generally finding low positivity rates, both on entry and on a continuing basis. BU’s test positivity rate from July 27 onward, for instance, is just 0.13%. Which brings us to the last category: Schools with More Testing, but also More Local Spread. This is the category that UIUC falls into. The University had a really interesting twice weekly saliva testing I was a big fan of. But their latest numbers are not good: 429 students tested positive 8/31 and 9/1 earlier this week. Test positivity rates peaked over 3% last Sunday.

没有充分准备好的学校情况不乐观,变成爆发地。美国为什么就没有能采取隔离?
劳动节之后估计又是一波。。。。
梅干茶泡饭
隔离在大学基本不大可能吧 除非你只让一小部分学生回来 现在就寄希望年轻人自己抗一抗 老师工作人员这个月躲一躲风头吧

【侨报网报道】康奈尔大学在其伊萨卡北部校园发现了至少39例新冠病毒病例后,开始限制学生聚会。校方表示,大多数违反规定的是学生运动员。 根据《纽约邮报》报道,康奈尔大学的官员表示,这些人群聚时,没有戴口罩,也没有保持社交距离。在报告的39例病例中,有36例是学生运动员。 大学开学后,公立、私立学校相继爆出新冠病毒爆发事件。前几天,纽约州立大学奥尼昂塔分校爆发了300多例病例,之后学校只好取消了面对面上课,全部课程改成网课。 康奈尔大学教务长迈克·考特利考夫(Mike Kotlikoff)和学生和校园生活副校长瑞安·隆巴迪(Ryan Lombardi)在周四发表的联合声明中表示,领导团队了解到目前有39例。但是随着未来几天在等待中的检测结果出来,预计因群聚导致的受感染人数还会增加。 康奈尔大学还发现了8起与群聚事件无关的病例,到现在为止,共发现47例。学校发出了“黄色警告”,学生最多只能10人聚集。 康奈尔大学校方表示,虽然这些人只占校园人口的0.1%,在学生运动员中占的比率也非常小,但这表明了有一群学生漠视我们为保护社区公共健康而制定的行为准则,这是十分危险的。 校方表示,已经与当地汤普金斯郡(Tompkins County)卫生部门合作,加强了检测、追踪接触过被感染学生的人,特别是运动队成员,以控制病毒传播。与此同时,筛查工作也在进行,所有受感染的学生都处于隔离状态,与他们接触过的人也被隔离,以防病毒进一步传播。 校方指出,目前尚没有证据显示,感染已经扩散到校园之外。即便如此,他们还是抨击了这些违规学生在疫情期间的鲁莽行为。因为,个别学生的行为会破坏学校的面对面上课计划。虽然目前仍处于可控的局面,但如果最近这些群聚中病例快速增长,当校方觉得危险时,还是会采取重大行动,比如:在一段时间内,全部转向上网课。 对那些违规者,校方已经给予了停学等处罚。校方表示,所有人都有责任不把别人置于危险之中,不能允许因少数人的行为毁掉大家的一个学期,并危及其他人的健康和安全。 康奈尔大学一位教授表示,康奈尔大学是一所资源丰富的常春藤盟校,所有的方案、测试和接触追踪都很完备。即便这样,还是会发生这样的事,那么,这对公立学校又意味着什么呢? 据目前开学的大学中出现的状况,纽约州长葛谟在周一就发出警告,预测纽约州一些K-12年级的学校开学后,将会全部再次关闭,转而采取在线教学。 纽约市长白思豪在与教师工会就是否应该面对面上课进行拉锯战之后,宣布纽约市公立学校开放时间推迟至9月21日。
