        Reminds me of "Lamourette's kiss". In the summer of 1792, when the middle class had gained control of the French Revolution and decided to compromise with the Monarchy, Lamourette (a priest) proposed that the Assembly abandon the idea of the Republic (a left wing ideal) and also abandon the idea of the upper chamber of congress (a right wing ideal). The middle-class Assembly screamed and cheered at Lamourette's proposal of "radical centrism" (i.e. abandoning progress) and everyone began hugging and kissing each other in centrist ecstasy.

        True story. Those politicians just wanted to grill, man. BTW this happened like a month before the people (the actual Left) stormed into the King's palace and forced him to be arrested and executed, just in case you wanna know where "radical centrism" leads.

    Just do what I did and ditch class all the time. I didn't have a pandemic though I was just going to the park to smoke weed and cigarettes.

    Actually kind of want to know how this works. Are students getting tested every week or something, or are people just coughing all over the place?

        I meant more like how you are figuring out that so many people have covid. Sorry for not being clear.

          You could test a random sample and extrapolate.

          Could be that student health services is doing something like that in lieu of testing everyone at regular intervals, and is publishing the results in order to keep the community informed and also so that administration has up-to-date data to use for their decision making.

          But that's just my guess at what could be going on.
