Officials at the University of Notre Dame are sounding the alarm—and limiting the size of gatherings -- after a recent spike in COVID-19 cases tied to parties.

The spike followed relaxing rules around the size of informal gatherings, Harding and Seamon noted. To combat the recent increase in positive cases and the number of contacts needing to quarantine, the school is now restricting informal gatherings from groups of 20 to 10.

As of Saturday, the seven-day positivity rate was 1.6%, after jumping to 4.1% on Wednesday. It's a far cry from when the school saw double-digit positivity rates and dozens of new cases each day amid off-campus outbreaks in August, prompting aIt appears the school doesn't want to take any chances this time, with the end of the fall semester a little more than a month away.

1.6% positivity rate FFS this rates a panic ?

You mean like the one the university president went to without a mask in DC recently? Protect your flock, Father!

And its leaders coming back from Trump superspreader

Just wear a mask everything will be fine

Endangering professors, staff, parents, and anyone else they come into contact with.

….and yet, they are still having their football game, today, against Louisville-THAT makes sense...

Kids...college....parties....football...equals virus! Seems pretty logical to me...

Those who lack conscience do not refrain from any evil. Just like the Armenian-terrorist state attacking civilians. Nigar died in the attack last night. If he had lived he would be 15 years old today. Armenia is the killer! HappyBirthdayNigar

Neoavatara College kids going to parties?!

File Under: Notre Damned

That’s not what it looks like at the football game.

My wife sounded the alarm on our marriage.

COVID-19 testing capacity outpacing desire to get swabbedThe Trump administration says more than 120 million tests will be available in October nationwide, but far fewer Americans are actually being tested.
