Thread: Cornell University shuts down Ithaca campus

Cornell University is shutting down its Ithaca, New York, campus and moving to "alert level red" after what the school described as a "rapid spread" of Covid-19 among students.

There were 469 active student cases as of Tuesday afternoon, according to Cornell's online Covid dashboard, and an overall positivity rate of 3.01% for the week of December 6, among the students tested.

President Martha Pollack said that the university's Covid-19 lab team detected evidence of the Omicron variant "in a significant number of Monday's positive student samples."

As of result, all final exams for the end of the semester will be moved online, all activities and athletics are canceled and the libraries are closed, Pollack wrote in a letter to the student body posted Tuesday.

Yeah, obviously, the CNN article didn't mention that. According to the Cornell Covid Dashboard, the campus, students and staff are 97% treated with an experimental substance, clearly not a vaccine.
