Members of the University of Mississippi administration are aware that a social event took place in Oxford, Noel Wilkin, the school's provost and executive vice chancellor for academic affairs, said in an emailed statement to Newsweek.

"This event took place without our knowledge or approval, and as soon as we heard about that event we gave a clear directive that all social and recruiting events are suspended for the summer in all cities for all fraternities and sororities," according to the statement.

useless data at this point. The only thing that matters is spikes in hospitalizations to where the medical community can't handle it.

The current hospitalization rate for known COVID-19 infections for people aged 18-29 is 30 per 100,000 (a .03% hospitalization rate). In reality that number is guaranteed to be even smaller because it does not account for those that are infected but don't know it and are not in the calculation.

I think there is a much higher risk of college kids on campus being hospitalized for alcohol poisoning than COVID-19...

infections are either mild or asymptomatic, the onus must be on those who are at risk to take the necessary precautions to protect themselves in lieu of disrupting the lives of everyone else.

Get the kids back in school and let the rest of us get on with life.

Case data are not useless.

Infections aren't static. That's the whole point of the CDC contact tracing program---to be aware of and manage outbreaks, in order to limit the local impact.
