Fair points. You say "a university".....so any university or just UND?

Appalled....yes. Think his future should be ruined over something that happened years ago at age 14....no.

ACB confirmed

Plus with a vaccine and therapeutics coming to the forefront. Make no mistake if Biden wins and he locks down the nation late January or early February for weeks then society as we knew it pre-Covid will be done. No return.

Glad he could slip that into the article in between chastising and calling people ignorant on Twitter who don't buy into mask and Covid stance.

Deeks Pizza Give-away???

Does one honestly think most 20-40 somethings in ND are voluntarily going to get tested when they are aren't sick/asymptomatic???

So Dr. Birx was in Bismarck visiting with Burgum today. Birx feels wearing masks mitigates the spread. Doug does not. So instead they both seemed to agree a crucial step will be more testing and isolating/quarantining more asymptomatic "silence spreaders" targeting the 20-40 year old age group.

Answer is both.

Can we get some more cat memes while you are at it?

That was so 6 months ago......so the "experts" tell us.

Not sure you need to ask anyone. Even a low IQ dolt like you should know the answer to that one.

Daily cases and overall active cases in ND are down today. Any one want to guess why? To be fair a few more deaths and hospitalizations.

UND's President makes a statement yesterday that the students at UND have a "moral responsibility" to keep others safe from the virus. Fair enough. How about the "moral responsibility" of the university that continues to charge full tuition, fees and room and board for its students who sit in their dorm rooms or apartments doing most of their classes online with basically no "college experience" as there is no student union, next to no campus activities and no campus life to speak of yet is bent on mass testing asymptomatic non sick teenagers and young adults so that they can be quarantined. It's an interesting dilema for students.

Correct....symptoms drive the 10 day clock regardless when you are confirmed positive. Asymptomatic positive....clock starts when you are positive.

Yup.......in my example that's what the parents in the household were told to do......just 14 days. Not 24. I know of spouses that basically told the NDHD to F off. They aren't losing pay for 2 weeks when they aren't even sick. Right or wrong that happens a lot.

Testing is hard to get done on a close contact asymptomatic child. You have to be able to pull some strings at this point.

As I mentioned a couple days ago the new CDC close contact guideline is an overt attempt to basically close schools.

Bingo

Again know families of HS kids that were positive and none of that applied. Kid gets sick on a Monday, tests positive. He's back in school following Thursday....10 days. Parents back 2 weeks from that Monday....14 days. Been that way every time and every incident I know of no one else in household got sick/tested positive.

Know multiple people who have tested positive and that has yet to apply to those living in same household (spouse and kids). Must be something new......again. Or arbitrarily designated.

Please do. Makes no sense.

24 days. How'd they come up with that number?

Let's be honest.......if Trump loses the election it's because millions will vote against him for being a complete jerk half the time and his lack of perceived Presidental characteristics and decorum. Just look at the two debates. Millions of people aren't going to be voting "for" Biden but "against" Trump.

NDHD is caught up on tracing after a back log. Announced the contact tracing focus will be mostly on 4 groups.....elementary/HS schools, higher ed/colleges, healthcare workers and LTC facilities. Again gotta quarantine all those 6-18 year old superspreaders and let's make sure we are testing the s@@t coming out of the dorms at UND and NDSU.
