... The most noticeable change is to the university's masking requirement: JHU will now require the use of N95s, KN95s, or a combination of a cloth mask with a surgical mask. In other words, a cloth mask alone or a surgical mask alone will no longer meet the university's mask requirement, ... They outlined key precautions in their message beyond the new masking requirements, including: a booster mandate with a Feb. 1 deadline twice weekly testing for students and on-demand asymptomatic testing for faculty and staff requiring undergraduates returning to residence halls to immediately test and quarantine in their rooms until receiving a negative test result

Hopkins is solid and conservative academically. It is also heavily involved with the government. The Applied Physics Lab designs high tech stuff for the navy. There is the School for Advanced International Studies in Washington with branches in Bologna and Nanking. The Center for Health and Security was involved in a conference on a corona virus epidemic right before the pandemic started.
It must be particularly hard for the students at Hopkins Medical School, as you pretty much have to complete your studies when you are at a top medical school.
I’m wondering when the students will start protesting these draconian measures as neither masks nor shots are preventing infection.
Since Hopkins has a Medical School, I’m wondering why they haven’t taken a lead in therapeutic research.
If science institutions get large enough, scientists become indistinguishable from witch doctors.
I am so glad my son chose to do online college throughout covid, not because of covid but because of the ridiculous shut downs, masks, mandates, etc. He has friends who have ended up doing a lot of their school online, in their dorm rooms.
KN95s?
The masks that only meet ChiCom safety standards? The same masks that aren’t authorized in the US for use on healthcare settings?
Meanwhile, neither N95s nor KN95s prevent the transmission of CoupFlu, but they cost a lot more, especially if they get replaced frequently.
And if they don’t replaced frequently, the damn things are fomites.
Continuing proof, as if it were needed, that CoupFlu has NEVER been about public health.
These aren’t masks.
They’re muzzles.
Our grand daughter left California to escape the idiocy that was required to be an RN and basically creating a 7 year program which could be done in 4 years.
She was accepted at a very good east coast RN school and received a nice yearly scholarship stipend.
A lot of her first 1 1/2 years (before Covid) and a lot of were live at and on line off site. It was a very good combo program. My wife and a SIL are retired RNs, and they were impressed.
Then, Covid hit and the college went big time into on line. A good mentor RN lined our GD up with an excellent hospital and she went to work in its ICU and Covid ICU units as a tech. This time the retired RN’s in our family were even more impressed. She worked 3 shifts a week and still completed her excellent RN program.
The ICU doctors, experienced RNs, and techs adopted her and she learned reality from them, as well as a few classes and a couple of online courses.
The funniest thing was her reaction to her first paycheck, that hospital enrolled her into their 401K and matched her $’s. She asked us what that was for. We explained to her about 401k’s, and I said that was probably that hospital’s signaling, that she had a job later on after her graduation.
When she officially became an RN, they doubled her salary.
She still works in the Covid ICU and a day/week in the ER.
So, she had a very good and varied 4 year RN program.
