L4’s thread closed but I just wanted to share some thoughts.
1. While it’s not stated in the article, I’m wondering on which campus the majority of the positive cases and quarantined folks are based. I suspect that with Booneville being the main and residential campus, that it’s more likely to have cases than the New Albany and Corinth campuses.
2. Ten percent being in quarantine isn’t good but it’s workable because many classes are hybrids and I expect the students will be fulfilling their assignments online.
3. Knocking on wood, I have hope that number won’t be that high across the board initially at least at the community colleges statewide simply because there are fewer residential campuses.
4. Folks based at residential campuses are going to have to be extra vigilant.
5. Lastly, kudos to Jones for announcing last week that they are starting their fall semester online for the first few weeks. They made a very smart move.
