Howard University announced it will shift some classes online due to the rise of COVID-19 cases on campus, joining other Washington, D.C.-based universities that have tightened restrictions amid the outbreaks.

In a statement on Wednesday, HU officials said the COVID-19 positivity rate at the school has increased from 2 percent to 5 percent over the past week, which they attributed to the spread of the BA.2 omicron subvariant, now the dominant strain in the U.S.

How did we ever attend colleges with all the colds and flus that existed? We didn’t even have vaccines!

I just went to the Couer d’Alene Press to see the latest “COVID-19 Watch” on the front page and discovered that IT IS GONE! It was there a couple days ago. It’s completely gone from the front page pull-down menu, too. It’s still on the site, but now you have to search for it.

Praise the Lord, Hallelujah! It was there for TWO full years. I thought the owners of this liberal rag would never give it up.

Today’s data shows five new cases in Kootenai County (175,000 people) and 14 new cases in Public Health District #1 (five northern most Idaho counties, 260,000 people). Nobody in critical care.

Why don't they just cut to the chase and just hand out diplomas already?

Remember when they’d freak when a college student had meningitis?

Freaking out about disease just a few years ago meant “no water fountains”.

That was it.

And meningitis is a very serious disease!
