Larry, please stick to Holy Cross football and the 90-wide program. That is your area of expertise and why so many of us respect you. The conspiracy stuff diminishes you and your sources are, at best, suspect.
This post is in no way trying to disrespect all that you've done for alma mater. Crudely put, please stay in your lane. Please.

Is HC going to require a Monkeypox vaccine in 2022-2023? It seems Monkeypox transmission requires close physical contact. I doubt if that would ever occur among the youth at HC.

So, the article as posted was written by Greg Piper. Here's his own short bio:
Not sure this is a Pulitzer career path.

We're still nowhere near being at a point where the pandemic's history; both from a scientific and sociological standpoint; can be evaluated objectively. I doubt Fauci's legacy will end up as deep in the trash can as Joe Paterno's has, but you never know. The man may come out even more of a hero than he's thought of by most people (I think) today.
Masks still will be required for most of the events in the next month. That's reminder enough of where we still are now.

Where does one start? Is there a prize for the craziest post on this thread?

For those attending reunions in the next several weeks, encouraging news from COVID tracking at the Deer Island Treatment Plant at Boston Harbor. The number of COVID virus particles detected in sewage has dropped significantly, about 60 percent or so from two weeks ago. This tracking metric is a leading indicator of the extent of COVID infection, offering a 4-5 day leadtime. ---------------------------------------------------- medicine.wustl.edu/news/long-covid-19-poses-risks-to-vaccinated-people-too/______________________________________ Article published in Nature on the efficacy of a vaccine against cancer. If the vaccine proves to be efficacious as the research studies suggest, might pose an interesting choice for an anti-vaxer stricken with cancer.

But does Dr. Fauci even own a wrinkled raincoat like the one that Joe P wore and looked like he inherited from Lieutenant Columbo?

I'm guessing half the posters here have no clue what you are talking about. Peter Falk - outstanding character - great series. Had that great "walking out of the room, slow turnaround, for just one last question" down pat and always outsmarted the killer who underestimated him.

In NJ there was for many years a league called the NBIL. It was officially called the North Bergen Interscholastic League. But the ADs, one of whom was Matty Certosimo - my AD at River Dell, knew it as the None But Italians League, since at one point every one of the 8 ADs was an Italian-American.

The Center for Disease Control and Prevention has issued a travel alert over the alarming spread of monkeypox — while confirming more than 200 people are being tracked in Massachusetts, having been in contact with the first confirmed patient in the US.
The CDC released the level-2 alert late Monday, advising people to “practice enhanced precautions” — and warning that it “is fatal in as many as 1 to 11% of people who become infected.”nypost.com/2022/05/24/over-200-people-monitored-for-monkeypox-in-massachusetts/amp/

Guess it’s time for everyone to go back into their bunkers, watching the news 24/7.
They wouldn’t have it any other way.

HC has ended its reporting of cases.
I think the final count was 1,370+ students, 410+ staff, and four other. This does not include students or staff who tested positive following an externally administered test.
The cumulative positive test rate was about 0.57 percent. Most positive tests occurred during Omicron, and most after students were fully vaccinated. No students tested positive June1-13, although a dozen or more staff tested positive during this period.
Masking is now optional in nearly all spaces, except, for example, where a faculty member requires masks. There is very limited dedicated isolation space (probably a consequence of the 900+ incoming class size for the class of 2026).
Testing this fall will be done only of students who are symptomatic, or were in close contact with someone who has tested positive. No on-campus testing of staff.
All students and staff, unless exempted, are required to be vaccinated and boosted.

The positivity rate is calculated by # of tested individuals testing positive / # of tests administered = positivity rate. For HC, roughly 1800 positive tests divided by the total number of tests administered. You should be able to roughly calculate how many total test there were, as I provided you with two of three variables.

My rate is the amount of students that were infected during this....Amount of Positive Tests by students/Amount of Students which is a much better number to go by with how much it spread throughout campus.

We'll never know the number who got sick due to their contact with infected HC students. Obviously, infection involves more than those infections initially uncovered but those to whom it was spread. That should be easy to understand, no?

What was the death count? Did HC track that? HC has not announced any COVID-related deaths of students or staff. A safe assumption is that there were none. HC has also not announced any hospitalizations. That same safe assumption cannot be made, because of privacy concerns. Four Fordham faculty/members / staff died of COVID, including one Jesuit. Six Jesuits died early in the pandemic in eastern Pennsylvania. Eight Jesuits in northern California. 158 Jesuits globally by June 2021, before vaccination became widespread.
