Trump White House Warns Colleges: Don’t Send Your COVID-Infected Students Home! (Clearly, Trump and Pence have no plan to fight/control Covid-19)

At the University of Alabama system alone, over 1,300 cases have been reported, according to the school’s own coronavirus case tracker.

Chicago’s Top Doctor on Chicago’s Rising COVID-19 Cases | Chicago News | WTTW – mask up, keep distance, get tested…

Chicago will continue to test anyone exposed to the virus, even if they are asymptomatic.

“The science suggests that we want to do everything we can to control COVID, and in our minds that means continuing to test asymptomatic cases,” Arwady said.

Arwady thinks that, while the rollout was confusing for some, the new guidance was meant to put more responsibility on state and local health departments.

Arwady noted that if someone has been in contact with a person who tests positive for COVID-19, they still need to be quarantined for 14 days, even if they test negative.

Columbia, SC pool party had no COVID-19 social distancing | The State

The Columbia Fire Department had to break up an overcrowded pool party where hundreds of revelers ignored the city’s mask ordinance and social distancing mandates.

At about 6 p.m. on Saturday, the fire department got tips from concerned citizens about a massive pool party at The Apartments at Palmetto Compress, Fire Chief Aubrey Jenkins told The State.

“It was almost like Mardi Gras,” Jenkins said of the scene at the apartment complex that’s on Devine Street, near the intersection of Blossom and Huger streets. “I saw a large crowd in the pool, in the area on the side of the pool, and on top of the pool house.”
