Connecticut College makes adjustments amid COVID outbreak
WFSB ^

Virtual learning could be a reality again for some college students in the state.

Connecticut College in New London is dealing with a COVID outbreak and revised how it is operating.

As of Thursday afternoon, Connecticut College reported 107 students and one staff member who tested positive for COVID-19.

...

“We are aware that the recent cases are connected through friend groups. And some are also linked by two events; at a local bar and a social gathering," said Mary Day, of the Ledge Light Health District.

Many students said they hoped remote learning was in the past. However, it’s already a reality again.

The college said it is operating on “alert level 3.” That means students are still on campus but working remote.

It also said athletics are canceled for the time being and athletic buildings are closed.

Gatherings are not allowed inside. Outside, they’re only allowed in groups of three.

Only critical faculty members are permitted on campus. Others are asked to work remote.

The school said it is also asking all students to get tested for COVID twice a week.

Why, just get a 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, etc. jab of the same vaccine that didn’t work the first time.

It gets worse all the time. What will they do for an encore? require vaccine/masks/tests for ONLINE courses?

Rational people would see that the approach used up to now has failed. Repeating failure is insanity. This hasn’t worked. Try something new!

Homo sapiens has a long history of doubling down on stupidity—as long as they felt full of virtue and wisdom while they did it!

Funny how the new Covid sh*tstorm has come about as more and more got jabbed pumped up with virus and spread it to unjabbed and jabbed alike. The bio-weapon is the greatest weapon ever devised.
