6. IF it gets out of hand

Tue Sep 1, 2020, 01:54 PM

Sep 2020

They are shutting down and sending everyone home. Some already have like North Carolina.

Basically all of them will if they can't control it.

ETA: In the interim they are isolating and quarantining cases but they have a maximum capacity for that. Once they run out of space for the isolation, they are in trouble. It is also a burden to their food service trying to feed a bunch of people who can;t come to the cafeterias.

My daughter is at Ohio State and she is already worried about being shut down. They are half way into the capacity that they set aside. Rumors are flying but the risk of being sent home is very real.
