I posted Lew Rockwell's article of Covid campus horror stories:
Jordan Schachtel has written an important article about this. At Baylor University, “The university has announced that there will be weekly mandatory tests … If any student refuses to take the COVID-19 test, they are subject to suspension or expulsion. Students are not making friends with their classmates … No one can recognize who’s who with a mask on, so there has been a significant increase of phone usage on campus and a significant decrease of socialization. Students show up for their in-person class, sit there, and head back to their apartment as soon as they are finished with classes. Everyone expects to move online before the semester is over. We all suspect that the university is postponing the move so that they can get the full tuition without much grounds for a lawsuit.”
At the University of Iowa, “They have ‘isolation dorms’ for COVID kids, but they are horrid. Guys in hazmat suits come … 2 week isolation, no visitors. Nurse on call but up to 3 hour wait if you need something … kids at school now are not getting tested so they don’t get sentenced to the isolation prisons.”
At St. Lawrence University, “1 positive case out of 2k tests. Kids limited to ‘family groups’ and no more than four in dorm room. Masks when outside dorm and wrist band indicates you can go outdoors. Very limited social interaction.”
That was the final straw for Facebook who had previously just issued "false information" warnings:
My next offense was posting a link to the definitive study by the Swedish government's health department comparing the impact of Covid-19 upon school age children in Sweden where schools remained open as opposed to Finland where they were shut down for two months:
This report is a comparison between Finland and Sweden, two in many ways similar countries who applied different measures regarding schools during the covid-19 pandemic. There is no difference in the overall incidence of the laboratory confirmed covid-19 cases in the age group 1-19 years in the two countries and the number of laboratory confirmed cases does not fluctuate with school closure or change in testing policy in Finland. In Sweden, the number of laboratory confirmed cases is affected by change in testing policy. Severe covid-19 disease as measured in ICU admittance is very rare in both countries in this age group and no deaths were reported. OUTBREAK INVESTIGATIONS IN FINLAND HAVE NOT SHOWN CHILDREN TO BE CONTRIBUTING MUCH IN TERMS OF TRANSMISSION AND IN SWEDEN A REPORT COMPARING RISK OF COVID-19 IN DIFFERENT PROFESSIONS, SHOWED NO INCREASED RISK FOR TEACHERS.
