Boulder County announced a new public health order Thursday barring all college-aged individuals from gathering for at least two weeks.
The order bars all indoor and outdoor gatherings for people in the 18 to 22 age group and cites University of Colorado Boulder (CU Boulder) students as causing a surge in COVID-19 infection.
The order said the county has seen 1,392 confirmed or probable COVID-19 cases among CU Boulder students in the age group since classes began August 24.
That represents 78% of Boulder Countys COVID-19 cases for this time period, the order stated.
We must take stronger action to stop the spread of this virus in our community, Boulder County Public Health Executive Director Jeff Zayach said in a statement. We have researched the actions we can take that would be effective while minimizing burden on those who have not been the source of increased transmission.
The order lists 36 addresses as stay-at-home residences, which the county alleges "have repeatedly engaged in activities that violate public health order." Individuals who live in the locations are ordered to stay in their residence at all times except to seek medical care or participate in other essential activities, per the order.

CU Boulder said in a statement that it endorses the public health order.
We are supportive of the public health needs of the Boulder community to stop the spread of the virus, Associate Vice Chancellor of Integrity, Safety and Compliance Dan Jones said in a statement. This new public health directive will be a strain on our students living in Boulder, and we are focusing on efforts to support them.
When I read about this move in the CO press, the article was followed by raving comments about how it was about time those irresponsible, homicidal criminals got what was coming to them, how there should be jail time if they went out, how people would be watching them to make sure they didnt gather, etc.
I think Karen takes steroids in CO.
It is really sad how CCPVirus and the MSM/DNC has weaponized it to make people literally report fellow citizens for being outside. My only solace is that these Karen’s will probably have soem form of PTSD like trauma from Bill walking his dog maskless, that they will end up begin more miserable and afraid and hopefully staying home in the future.
The 18 to 22 year olds can respond this way...enforce that order on us and we will all vote Republican enmasse!
Trump might have an oppurtunity here...have a quick couple of rallies specifically inviting 18-22 year olds to attend....though other age groups would naturally be welcomed, of course!

all very good thoughts ... hope some of that happens!
Like the old days, we should have COVID parties. Get infected, take HCQ and Zinc after a couple of days and then you are good to go.
So all the 18-22 year olds should respond....”Trump 2020!and No to Hickenlooper for the Senate”....that will shut the progressives up! Trump has an opportunity with the youngsters here if someone could so advise him.
