Here is the above referenced data. There are links on the twitter feed where this was published sourcing the data for each school. I glanced through a few (and it looks accurate) but cannot vouch for all of it (though the guy who put it together is reputable). I think there might be some discrepancy as to whether all of the positives are actually students or part of the "school system" between schools. In addition this obviously is only a small fraction of schools and perhaps there might be reporting bias where schools that are doing worse are reluctant to publish their data. The overall take home though is clear and consistent with all of the data to date on COVID outcomes in this age group.pcowlax wrote: ↑Thu Sep 24, 2020 11:17 am quote=bearlaxfan post_id=187783 time=1600958449 user_id=400]
Test test test! with masks, distancing. U of Illinois apparently was laughed at for its over-the-top testing plan, but it's doing better than almost all other big schools. Not a laxschool of course.

I would venture that these number are not even close to being an accurate pic of what is happening on most campuses. I know for a fact one school is artificially keeping its numbers down by using this strategy: if 1 person in a multi person house tests positive, they do not test everyone else in the house for obvious fear of climbing numbers and the effect if might have on football's progress. Instead of the possibility of multiple positives, its only counts against the numbers as 1 positive. So, practically speaking those numbers are heavily skewed. A guide perhaps but not even close to being accurate.
edit: Not questioning the person who compiled the data. You can only compile whats available not necessarily whats accurate.
