A college student from suburban Chicago has died of coronavirus.

Michael Lang, 18, was a native of La Grange and a freshman at the University of Dayton.

The campus said that Lang left campus on Sept. 13 to "return home for remote study" and that on Oct. 22, he died of coronavirus-related complications "following a lengthy hospitalization."

"The loss of Michael calls our campus community to honor his memory and support those who are affected by his passing. Please respect the family's request for privacy at this time," University of Dayton leaders said in a statement.

Yeah. Youth are immune. Affects no one

What a shocking loss. He is so young. My nephew at Penn State also came down with Covid and had to spend two weeks in a quarantine dorm. He has fortunately recovered. His 16 year old sister (my niece) also became ill with Covid and had to isolate at home. She recovered as well, but don't tell me that young people don't get sick from this virus. It's bullshit!

Freakin' UD was a super-spreader school around that time.

Bear in mind that Dayton is a private school, while surrounding Montgomery County has a population of more than half a million people, when reading the following from early September (not long after UD opened for Fall classes):

The outbreak at the University of Dayton has become the largest outbreak in Montgomery County. University of Dayton cases are now equal to half of the total of all cases combined in the other 60 outbreaks in Montgomery County since April.
