The faster it hits 100%, the closer we get to 0%.

Misleading title: Student body positivity rate is still around 1%; tests on those presenting as symptomatic or with significant COVID exposure has been coming in at 29%.

Reminder that H1N1 was actually killing college students and schools or sports never shut down

Lmfao Fake news. There’s no way the University of Alabama has a infection rate of 29% while NYC, a global “hot spot”, has a rate of 2%. It’s just not possible.

Your post is BS. That's a "reported" 29% of those who felt sick enough to be tested or one of their friends they associated with had it. Whereas the 1% was of the student body as a whole. Maybe this was a selected day of testing and others showed what most show of people who suspect the may have covid. BTW, what did you expect? Kids go back to campus and congregate. And yes party and they have almost no fear since the thing is for them a big nothing burger. Officials are not fearful because of some dramatic health concerns, it's the politics for them that matter. As in "we're cancelling school since a test of young people with the sniffles or nothing except one of their friends was positive shows just under 3 of 10 were right and that makes look bad. It's actually good news given that herd immunity in a almost 100% no symptom fashion is at hand.

This is BS. It was a select group of sick students who were tested and STILL was only 29%. Not the overall percentage. People are too stupid to understand percentages and metrics.

Bell's statement reads. "It is disturbing to see statements from that conversation taken out of context. The quoted positivity rate is grossly misleading as presented. The positivity rate attributed to Myron deals with a sub-group of students who identified as symptomatic or exposed to someone with COVID-19. Such samples are in no way reflective of the positivity rate of the campus community

Fake as lying news. 29% is obviously full of shite.

And EVEN if it were true, which it is not, that would only be real evidence on why schools and sports should open back up. 1/3 of the students and Alabama have it yet well over 90% only know they have it because of a test.

Either way the FULL truth says this is a nothing burger. When 50 of the die from this I will change my mind.

OMG, this is really bad. Cancel life, run for the spider hole. It will all be fine and no nee to over react. Most of them are likely false positives.
