'This is just insane': Students say UA is doing too little to protect them from COVID-19

8. Wow! Can't fathom the combined number, and we're just getting started.

At UD, it's not the students in the dorms, but the kids who live in off-campus housing who are going to be the worst issue. We're only having about 1.5K students living in the dorms (reduced down from ~9.5K), but a lot of students, even if they only have online classes, have moved back into off-campus housing. The local police already broke up an off-campus party over the weekend of 75 students. They estimated about 5K people will be on our combined campus' daily - which includes staff and faculty numbers.

We'll see what plays out. Today is the first day of classes, and the first day of daily health reporting. All students/fac/staff are supposed to fill out the report even on the weekends. I can't let you know what they ask about since as soon as I answered that I don't need to come to campus, I got a big fat red X and the survey terminated. I think I'm supposed to go get a baseline test and report the results, but I'm working from home and am not anticipating going to campus within 14 days - haven't been there since Mar 13. Our group was told we tentatively will return after Xmas break. Whenever I actually have to go in, I'll still need a new test and a 14-day quarantine.
