Which leads to how often do asymptomatic individuals who opted to get tested and are negative need to be retested if they continue to be asymptomatic?

That's the 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon I previously discussed or the Ferris Bueller 31 Flavors scenario that leads down a rabbit hole that has zero end game. Unfortunately the examples you give are called "life".......some can handle it and continue to enjoy living. Others......well just scroll through the pages here.

I see where you are going with this and I'm not in total disagreement. Massive testing just to test....no. The 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon testing method is chasing a ghost you can't catch. "Priority" testing especially in the vulnerable population absolutely makes sense. I do see this as beneficial. Again what you are wanting, testing everyone all the time, isn't even done within the healthcare community.

Absolutely.....and maybe Cass Co. is on the right track of testing "priority" groups. We have know from day 1 who is in that group. Lining up students outside the HPC at UND...….yippee.

Guess it depends on what lane one want to be in. The "only cases matter" lane or "hospitalizations/deaths matter" lane. But it is naive of Dean to think there aren't more asymptomatic kids running around the NDSU campus by comparing the two schools.

<fingers crossed>

#salongate Nancy says she was set up.

In MN 70 and older account for 10% of cases but 80% of deaths.

Plus I know it happened to multiple family members from the same family on the same day in lakes country in MN. Also know of someone who got antibody testing only to receive notice of results of test that wasn't done on the day she had test performed on in Fargo. #trustthedata

Hopkins (MN) school board voted to remove the police presnce from the high school.

Right.......like the 8 false positives a couple weeks ago?

For those of you who won't leave your basement because of Covid and are scared of your own shadow Kirk Cousins is on hold for you.....line 3.

I'm still trying to wrap my head around the 22000 deaths MN is anticipating........

So as a parent of a UND student I personally just got notification of the testing drive today on campus via the UND Safe Campus app, text, voice-mail and email. Zero clue? Possibly but when the case numbers of asymptomatic students get to the point it is considered an "outbreak" due to continued testing drives where do you think this is heading?

Not disagreeing with your first point at all. It's a virus. It's not going to be eradicated. A vaccine will still leave well over 50% of the population at risk. You want the end game to be zero caes. That's obvious. That's ignorant.

....and this coming from you. That's rich but carry on.

This post is so full of ignorance and a complete lack of any understanding as to the big picture. Just stop.

This would have some relevance if the Biden flag was on fire.

Again your rebuttal is once again answering a question with a question. Blanket schooling testing is impractical. You should understand that.

Because everyone knows on the scale of being "essential" the POTUS and an overpaid, uneducated, opinionated power forward are on the same level. To your question what are you looking to accomplish? Who gets tested? How often?

I can see the President's point at this stage but UND just had another testing drive yesterday for students, faculty and staff. A city wide mask mandate is irrelevant to UND and keeping the campus open and I think Bo knows that. UND will continue to get the numbers it needs to see so that they say let's shut campus down......again.

For those with a legal background......NDSU is quarantining Greek houses with a Covid case and will expel any student who leaves their Greek house under quarantine for any reason other than an "emergency". Can the university have legal protection doing this?

Altru currently has three Covid19 patients hospitalized.

I guess I did not hear of a cattle drive testing plot with the allure of $500 from the NDSU bookstore but I could be wrong on that. That kind of mass testing might follow the NDSU FB game as 10000 are going to be allowed to attend. I'd be interested in how many elementary, secondary and university teachers will be in attendance?

I read UND's president was quoted that a vaccince would get the university systems back to normal (or close to it).
