Re-opening Schools in the era of COVID

There are plenty of data sets showing COVID information from all the universities -- why cherry-pick data from a mere 82 universities. While they are at it --- they can just narrow down their data set to a mere 5 universities next time to drive their narrative.

Trying to portray that there is merely one death as a university when there are over 70 is just disingenuous.

Provide the data sets that show COVID information from all universities.

Let's go through them and look at the hospitalization and fatality rate for students.

Provide the link. I'm ready.

The New York Time portal and article I posted earlier has all the data.
 
You are correct that the New York Times data set only is tracking cases -- their source which you can download is found directly in their article ---

As I said, I already downloaded the CSV. There's nothing but case information.

So if that is the case, how is this better than data showing hospitalization and fatality rates, even if a partial subset of all colleges?

Isn't hospitalization and fatality data relevant to determining whether COVID is a dangerous disease to college students before deciding to shut colleges down?

Or should it only be about the cases?

GWB? Don't go silent on me again when the topic doesn't go your way.

Are there hospitalization or death rates for any college data you have?

I am looking into it. Because universities generally are not reporting hospitalizations due to privacy concerns it is difficult to get compiled data. You can look at data in the county where the university is located but you don't know if the hospitalization is a student or not.

There are plenty of articles about students being hospitalized but no concrete compilation of data.

At Least A Dozen Ohio College Students Suffered Medical Emergencies from COVID-19

======================================

The deaths can be looked at from the perspective of headlines across the country outlining the deaths of students in recent weeks. The claims of zero college student COVID deaths is absolutely absurd.

So you criticized someone for "incomplete" data, and then you present the NYT which has...wait for it...incomplete data (no hospitalizations or deaths).


Also:


Did someone say that no college students died of COVID? Do you have that quote somewhere?

A dozen Ohio college students suffered medical emergencies, you say? How many Ohio college students are there?
 
One point to note is that many schools that open with full attendance and effectively no social distancing (since it is impossible) start school for a mere two or three weeks before needing to shut-down and go virtual due to being overrun with COVID.

Schools that start with alternating schedules at either 1/2 or 1/3 capacity with rotating days or weeks for the cohort of students on-site at the school and the rest virtual for that day (or week) --- are doing much better in terms of being able to stay open. Invariably when a schools with a reduced number of students on campus contends with COVID it is just a few students that need to be quarantined or a single classroom that needs to be remote for two weeks.

Here is just one more example of a school with full attendance shutting down quickly.
