'Who saw that coming?' Fury at evangelical Liberty University president after his controversial decision to reopen the school in the middle of the coronavirus pandemic leads to eleven students displaying symptoms
UK Daily Mail ^ | March 30, 2020 | James Gordon

Eleven students who attend Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia, have come down with coronavirus symptoms after returning to campus. Liberty University President Jerry Falwell Jr. decided to reopen the campus to students at the end of spring break despite public health officials warning him not to do so. The Democratic governor of Virginia Ralph Northam had previously banned gatherings of more than 100 people in the state to which Liberty said it would transition most classes to online.

Let’s review NYC and NYS:

It was never serious.

The homeless untouched.

Illegals untouched.

Gays festivals untouched.

Known drug markets untouched.

Muslims untouched.

Subways never closed.

Still an open borders sanctuary city/state.

A JOKE of a lock down to “bend” the curve.

Not a peep from the Virginia governor.

Regular people see right through it and are ignoring the power mad mayors and governors.

Two things: First - showing symptoms may mean they have the flu.
Second, they’re young. They’ll probably be fine.

And a third thing. If they do start to get serious flu-like symptoms, just take the French drug pair. And then they;ll be fine.

Meanwhile, everybody is getting an education. Life goes on.

Parents of students attending Liberty support Falwell. Most students as well.

Only the deep state media is hammering him...

Exactly. This is nothing compared to what is going to happen to Trump two days after he re opens the country no matter when he does it.

What is the normal rate of students in a University displaying flu-like symptoms, in the middle of the flu season?
Not meaning to downplay the seriousness of this nasty bug (although I do believe the hysteria/hype is overblown), but we get alerts when anyone shows flu symptoms.

not too worried about DJT; he can take the heat. it's the governors and mayors who will definitely go wobbly.

Exactly what Trump should do. Declare America open for business at the discretion of local Gov't. Puts the squeeze on them...

I can easily see this become red state/blue state idiocy.

“Displaying symptoms”

Not, actually, diagnosed.

A premature and bashing headline.

100% Correct. However, the squeaky agitprop gets the headline.

Tantamount to murder / attempted murder IMHO.

11 out of 15,000 on-campus students. Statistically zero. No different than any where else. We have lost all ability to judge perspective in this country right now.

The outrage is based on fake news. Liberty has responded. There is no evidence they did anything unsafe. No students on campus have or had covid.

Students coming from hotspots were isolated or they were not allowed back.

Note, Covid-19 is real, a friend’s GF passed away this morning in Paris (40-50 yo, healthy and active until the covid-19 got her). But if precautions are taken, orgs can be safe w/o having to completely shutdown.

Certainly, a small isolated college with 100% residential dorms can be safe. University of Michigan, probably not.

“French drug pair?

Chloroquine & Z-pack

Almost 100% effective in French trials.
