Social Distancing at ISU

How many of the partiers tested negative and assumed it was okay to be in a large group and not social distance?

I assume the few students that I know had it this summer were not reluctant to party
 
Moved daughter into Freddie Court Saturday. Everyone there had masks on outside of their apartments or cars. Masks were removed once in apartments or cars but everyone moving things in had one on. This was late morning, early afternoon. I can't speak for all day. Two football players walked by with masks on, so they are doing their part.

This is alarming but its nice to have some photographic evidence of the general student population acting like this. Without it, sports would be the only focus of politicians, fans, doctors, admins as to why breakouts happened on campus. Every outbreak would be blamed on athletes and those who chose to attempt to have a season. Sports will still get the brunt of the attack because people have seen it's a divisive topic and there is political gain at steak but at least now, those people will have to pretend they forgot or never saw this evidence.
 
i feel as though some of you are missing that fact that general population of students have classes with athletes. so when these students increase their scope of contact with others it indirectly impacts the students. tammy and timmy don't know that they got covid on saturday and don't show symptoms until friday will ****. they already came into contact with 100s of people

Well then just shut down the university and send kids home.
 
I bet, like maybe one of them gets a high fever in the next two weeks. Covid is going to spread like wildfire on/around college campuses. There is noting that will stop that. Nothing. As long as you wear a mask around Ames you have nothing to fear. Masks will save you.

would not be shocked if these events themselves weren’t well attended by athletes.

Kids are making bets with their friends on who can catch it first at these parties. Not surprised, very small threat for their age group. Hopefully having them all in one place will harbor herd immunity without spreading too far off campus.

Sadly down in Texas and Florida there have been people who did this and ended up dying. There is no route to “herd immunity” that doesn’t end up very ugly for some people. We should be hoping it doesn’t get anywhere near that level of infection, especially with a vaccine likely on the horizon.

Masks are proven to help reduce the spread, which of course is common sense even without all the scientific studies. But they are not foolproof and won’t completely stop spreading - other measures are required in conjunction with them. Most of those measures are obvious like social distancing and just being a decent human being and staying home to protect others who you have it or think you might, but some people can’t even handle that inconvenience.

Same logic applies to all lower schools, too, not just colleges.

If we're taking it seriously, maybe we should. If not, maybe we should just accept the idea that we don't really care about it.

Does it? I assume you went to elementary, middle, high school then college, and still remember the HUGE difference. So unless something has changed, I don't remember many kids ages K-12 living "on campus" packed in like sardines. I may be wrong. Send us some of those famous photos with hundreds of 3rd and 4th graders outside their Little Tykes frat houses with their favorite sippy cup partying down like there is no tomorrow.
 
This picture right here is the perfect case to keep the season going. Kids are going to be in class or partying exposing everyone. Dumb to exclude football. Either cancel all in person classes and enforce lock down laws or let them play.
