We are speculating here that when a college kicks all its students out of the dorms on short notice—that is an indication they will become a quarantine zone for their area.
Harvard—eastern MA
Smith—western MA
Grinell—Iowa
etc etc
Speculation may be too kind.
It sounds a little bit like a conspiracy theory!
Gotta keep them in check— they are just too easy to come up with at this point in time.
I am going to revise my earlier comment.
It might be useful to look at the universities that have gone online and see how many of them have a medical school/center.
I have recently read UVA’s notice to students about going online. What really stands out is their strong emphasis on students returning home.
Most UVA students do not live on campus and have annual leases on apartments. So strongly advising them to return home (or not to come back if on Spring Break) sounds to me like something else.
Like maybe preparing for a deluge of patients in its Medical Center?
