If this was Worcester, the connection would be the number of HC students volunteering at local nursing homes

HC did testing on Sunday and Monday. Presumably, this was mostly/entirely testing of students who are living on-campus, or have permission to come on campus. The number of students being tested post-Thanksgiving should be substantially fewer than before Thanksgiving as my understanding is that the college has no in-person classes post Thanksgiving.
Test results reported on Nov 30 were 276 tests, all negative. Test results posted this morning at 7 AM were 186 negative tests, and two student positive tests. A large percentage of students on-campus post-Thanksgiving are members of the M/W hoops and ice hockey teams.

Massachusetts' COVID-19 Response was Science-based, so Why are Cases Rising?abcnews.go.com/Health/massachusetts-covid-19-response-science-based-cases-rising/story?id=73905739...And while there's evidence that people under the age of 30 are driving the rebound in new cases this fall, Galea [Dr. Sandro Galea, an epidemiologist and dean at the Boston University School of Public Health] doesn't think the rise is related to Boston's high density of universities, some of which have opened in person."Transmissions are quite low," he said of schools. Instead, he pointed to informal gatherings, especially among young people. "Whether those can come under control is an open question," Galea said. "It's fluctuating day by day."
