On Becoming a Hawkeye.

WOOF. I’m not going to get in to anything about U of I this story is going to play out everywhere. Hopefully ISU takes note and reviews and tests protocol religiously going forward.
 
Unlike Iowa, ISU tested all the students moving into university housing and had a very well planned out process for moving students to isolation or quarantine housing. It's just another stark example of how the two universities differ dramatically.

Normal operating procedure in Ia Schitty,......"we just weren't prepared, sorry."

"I told him that the rooms were horrible, and he said they weren't really anticipating anyone getting COVID on the first day — said they'd been really busy with regular school operations just getting people here,"
 
JFC... I hope ISU has their sh!t together a lot more than that. Telling her not to call home after she found out she was positive until they figured out what to do? WTF is that? The delusion of superiority really does permeate that whole school.

Holy **** dude.

Let me do you a favor. Take a break and let me write your next post for you:

“Why was this girl in the ER prior to coming to Iowa City?”

This is the selfish actions that endanger people. Do you want to have a three hour bus ride with a positive person two rows behind you? She wouldn’t have her parents get her because they are higher risk, She exposed how many people on that bus who now may expose how many others that are high risk. Maybe rent a car and drive. It’s called being responsible.

or maybe just rent a room in Iowa city then.

Man, I would have loved a sink in my room at Helser.

edit: SHE TOOK A BUS AFTER BEING SYMPTOMATIC AND TESTING POSTIVE!?!?

As someone who went through it, ISU did way better than Iowa, but we still weren’t very smart about it. ISU should have required a negative test before moving in, instead of just testing you when you show up and letting you potentially expose others. We had a solid plan, it just could have been better.

I hope the "we weren't expecting anyone to have covid on the first day" is either the student not being honest or one incredibly uninformed and wrong employee saying the opposite of reality.

Expecting not just one, but many students to have Covid on the first day is where you START thinking about this entire task. I mean it's literally the cornerstone of the entire thing.

It would be like a football coach saying he didn't expect any injuries in the first game so he left the backup players off the bus.

You're a student in the dorms this year?

Please share more about what it's like. I have a cousin who just moved into dorms as a freshman.
