Reading the powerpoints is not the primary good students are buying. They're buying the "college experience," which is non-existent now.
Students prefer that we read powerpoints to them in person, rather than reading powerpoints to them online.
Yes it does. Students are still going to parties.
Doesn't matter. In my university it's been hybrid (online + in-person) since last Fall. Instructor is required to go to classroom, deliver lecture there but also live-stream it by zoom. This way, students can choose to either show up or stay home to watch the zoom video. This will be the standard for all classes indefinitely into the future.
Under this model, students with travel restrictions can still register from their home country, pay tuition so my university gets the $$$ to fill the budget hole due to uncontrolled spending on shiny new buildings and high salary for a bloated adnimistration.

My university has been doing the same. I don't mind as long as teaching evals are put on hold.
No.
No.Why would so many of you no-good this accurate and sensible answer?
You China people tend to hate the messenger who is only delivering a truthful message that you don't like.
You really believe in a giant conspiracy that it's china people on an anon forum that are no goiding that specific comment?
Yes. At the current rate we would be getting close to herd immunity by fall just based on natural infections. Adding in the vaccine we should get there by the summer.What? We've had 24 million infections in a year. That's nowhere near enough for herd immunity.
multiply that by 7.
this. Infection fatality rate is 0.3-0.5%. at 400k deaths (likely this is the most accurately estimated number) this implies between 80-120m people infected. At 3k deaths daily on the margin, we add 600-900k cases a day, or about 18-27m cases a month. Herd immunity is around 220m cases, implying about 5 months and another 400k deaths to that point, i.e. at current rates herd immunity around may. Vaccination efforts speed this process up, reinfections and new mutations slow it down, so this will be over around June +- 2 months, i.e. in time for the fall semester

Because many people are never tested, the true infection rate is 2 to 3 times that number. We also have about 6 million new positive tests per month. So at this rate by the fall there would be about 75 million total people who have tested positive, which would imply 150 million to 200 million infected.
Lol at making up that 2-3x rate

This has the exact same vibe as the people saying the pandemic would be done by summer of last year

how large is the reinfection rate?
