Daily Status, Sept. 11

Daily Status, Sept. 11 Reminder: any sections that are unchanged since yesterday are grayed out. This something we all need to read to protect ourselves . I will probably write about it soon. Summary/Situational Awareness It looks like some colleges are either getting a handle on the virus or achieved herd immunity: Radford and VCU are stable now. Unfortunately, the outbreak at JMU continues to spread; only about half the students returned home. And VT is spiraling out of control; UVA could be next. Across the commonwealth of Virginia, there were 1115 reported new cases of COVID-19. The number higher than the recent trends; it is about 1 standard deviation above the mean. Overall, cases are essentially flat for the last three weeks. It is worth noting that, over over that time, 14% of the positives have been from colleges; today, colleges account for 20% (223) of the cases are directly related to college; without the college cases, the numbers would be decreasing by 1%/day
