A few colleges write the playbook for pandemic success
At Quinnipiac University in Connecticut, just one coronavirus case has emerged from more than 11,500 campus tests administered since August. The flagship University of Connecticut system reports 64 cases among the 5,000-student residential population on its Storrs campus. Clark University in central Massachusetts just spotted its first potential case in more than a month, while a few pricey private colleges in New York also report few infections since the start of the semester.
Several universities have resumed in-person classes and invited students back to live on or near campus this semester while logging few infections, even as other institutions struggle to halt outbreaks or rely on virtual education. These early case studies hint at a potential path to recovery for a bruised higher education industry, as the virus continues to spread across the country and the death toll rises.
Each campus is different. Covid-19 is still a newly discovered pathogen.
Globalization is changing into increasingly more part of our society. Many individuals, together with a majority of climate scientists, are of the opinion that man-made international warming is real and could have a devastating impression on human life, wiping out major coastal cities, creating big deserts, and resulting in all out wars over treasured water supplies the world over.
