The University of Alabama has reported 531 coronavirus cases on campus since starting classes on Aug. 19, according to the university system’s COVID-19 dashboard.
The data on the dashboard reflects on-campus testing results and self-reported private lab results. It does not include the entry testing the school conducted before classes started.
According to a local ABC affiliate, University of Alabama President Stuart Bell called the rise in COVID-19 “unacceptable” since the school has guidelines in place to avoid gatherings such as parties.
The school of more than 38,000 students is located in Tuscaloosa, Ala., where Mayor Walt Maddox (D) ordered bars and restaurants with bar service to close for two weeks following a surge in cases.

If your reopening plan can be completely destroyed and your precautions rendered utterly useless by 18-year-olds acting the way they always act, maybe your plan was stupid.

The CDC said we don’t need to test people who have had close contact with a positive case anymore if they don’t have symptoms. Guess we know why. “Slow down the testing please!”
