Alot of over reaction to this virus. College and pro sports ,
Broadway theater , schools , parades very chaotic probably
worse than the disease itself.

Perhaps in hindsight it will look this way, but as things
currently stand? I disagree. We don't know what we're up against
and this thing could easily mutate into something much more
severe. The good that I think will come of this is that telework
will become more prevalent in the country, and people will be
better prepared for diseases like this in the future. I also
hope it means China finally shuts down these damn wet-market
meat markets where all these damn diseases originate. There will
be tremendous pressure on them to do so.

I strongly believe this is way overblown. There are a lot of
videos coming out from patients, some very old patients who were
tested positive for the Virus and lived to tell their stories.
MOst are saying the virus is nothing more than a mild cold.

We cannot shut down society for ever . Now we are hearing this
could last 6-9 months does that mean we live in a vacuum until
this passes ? Fear is driving this behavior let get back to
normal the sooner the better . Not worried about China and
their meat markets right now .

Your best sources for unbiased information on this situation are
likely the US Federal Govt CDC site and the World Health
Organization site:

HTML https://www.who.int/
Truly disheartening what has unfolded in the sports world, from
student athletes here at SBU and beyond, yet this increasingly
appears to be a time for action. Here's hoping that in the fall
and in the years to come we can return to bickering about
coaches and players and game strategy and see the SBU athletes
in action on the fields and courts.

It's good that it's a mild cold for most people. That's great
actually, but we should still take this seriously as it's easily
spread and has a much higher mortality rate than the seasonal
flu. We also just don't know a whole lot about it yet and
there's no vaccine. Sure it would be nice if events like the
NCAA tournament and life in general could go on, but that's just
not a risk people are willing to take right now and that's fine
by me. We'll get through this and be better prepared for the
next one. Also as mentioned there will be tremendous pressure
for China to shut those wet markets down since that's where this
as well as Swine Flu and SARS also originated.

'it will be appropriate to grant relief for the use of a season
for competition for student-athletes who have participated in
spring sports.'"[/quote]

Campus Residences Announces Move-Out Requirement to Reduce
Density

[quote]In an effort to significantly reduce the population
density on campus and ensure social distancing measures to
reduce the risk of COVID-19 transmission, we made the difficult
decision to close on-campus housing.
As we anticipate increased travel restrictions, residents are
expected to leave immediately based on the following criteria:
All residents who live within driving distance of campus must
vacate the residence halls and campus apartments as soon as
possible, but no later than 5 pm EST on Thursday, March 19.
All other residents must vacate as soon as possible, but no
later than 5 pm EST on Friday, March 20.[/quote]

The school is getting a lot of blowback over this.
A lot of people now saying they will never donate to the school
ever, which hurts our rankings.

It's a difficult move for the school to make. The dorms are
setup very differently than your run of the mill apartment
complex, thus making sure the students remain isolated much more
difficult. I can understand why they'd do this. There's no way
to effectively distance 6-7 students sharing a suite, or the
even greater number of students in a corridor style dorm with
the common bathrooms, shower, etc. To say they'd never donate to
the school again over this is ridiculous though.

I’m getting fed up with most of the student body anyways. Too
many of them would rather play League of Legends or watch anime
instead of attending a collegiate sports event, it’s
infuriating.
