Administrators at the University of New Haven, located in West Haven, CT, ordered a residence hall for students on its campus must quarantine after an “unauthorized” gathering included a person who tested positive for COVID, according to a report.
The CT Post reported last Tuesday the school issued a statement that said the measures are “mandatory, and any violations of these guidelines will be subject to strict and swift discipline, up to and including suspension, expulsion from University housing, or dismissal from the University.”
The paper said the quarantine measure affects students living in Winchester Hall, which involves 347 students. WFSB reported 277 remain on campus and 70 are living off-campus. The gathering in question reportedly took place last weekend at a venue outside of the campus.
Reports did not indicate how the school will enforce the measures, but the local news station said these students are being provided with food and laundry service. The quarantine will last for 14 days.
The letter to students read:
“Now is not the time to let our guard down. We must all remain vigilant. As we have seen at many other schools in our state and region, an increase in cases could threaten on-campus operations. To be clear, the actions of a few could put the remainder of the semester at risk.”
TRENDPOST: Across America and from the U.K. to Switzerland, colleges are locking down students, forcing them to quarantine as fellow students test positive for the virus.
Totally absent in all the reporting is the hard, scientific fact that, according to the CDC, the recovery rate for those aged 20-49 is 99.98 percent (ages 0-19 has a 99.997 percent recovery rate).
Unable to grow up and play like young people do, the harsh penalties and restrictions imposed on them by college administrators, plus all the other social distancing, mask wearing, no congregating/dancing/parting/singing, etc. will not only instill emotions of constant fear, but restrict their natural human development.
TREND FORECAST: Just as there were Vietnam War protests among college students who didn’t want to fight and die, so, too, will there be COVID War protests among young people who want to live life and be free. We forecast there will be a growing, new anti-COVID War/counter culture movement echoing the sentiments of the 1960s rebellion but with new sounds, styles, and political movements.
