Re: Covid 19
Thanks for the great info. Biggest issue with this virus is it's just so infectious; mass testing is needed. Until that happens, it's going to be very difficult to contain, if at all, and the numbers will most likely be astronomical here. The diagnostic 'roll out' of the test has been abysmal in the U.S...and if I may add, disgraceful considering our capabilities to handle a pandemic like this. Hopefully that's changing as more tests become available.
Just read that UNH will stay open as usual after Spring break; they are asking people who travel to high risk areas etc. to 'self quarantine' themselves; good luck with that. Most likely, if any of these students/ staff who potentially become infected and/or do not self q this is an issue. Thing is, many will be asymptomatic and will unknowingly will infect others who will do the same, etc etc. Regardless, the virus is here and we just have to do the best we can to reduce it's spread. Going to go through a lot of people until 'herd immunity' is created and an effective vaccine is created.
