Right, it is reason to try and predict what will happen.

When you are making decisions on teaching class in person or not, this is pretty important to the risk analysis. Would you teach in person at current levels?

I wish we were doing 1,000 tests per day like I thought VT was going to do off of earlier announcements where it was stated that was our capacity. I guess they only had 1,000 samples to test last week. It would be nice to test every student once per month, but I guess that is not going to happen.

Uh oh, have you seen the VT-Covid dashboard today? Pic and link -- HokieSignGuy 08/31/2020 10:26AM

TOGA TOGA!!!!!!!!!! ** -- bigbadbird 08/31/2020 11:18AM

Would be nice to know if the positivity rate is only new positives or if it -- hokiemas 08/31/2020 10:49AM

I don't believe they are testing repeats. ** -- HokieFan14 08/31/2020 10:58AM

Virginia counts those in it's numbers. ** -- EDGEMAN 08/31/2020 11:09AM

But I don't believe VT is testing multiple times. -- HokieFan14 08/31/2020 11:59AM

This is what I keep hearing. and I would bet VT isn't allowed to deviate -- HokieSignGuy 08/31/2020 11:11AM

I'm sure they will do everything possible to hide that data. ** -- EDGEMAN 08/31/2020 11:12AM

The Commonwealth of Virginia, not UVA. No idea how the Hoos count their #s ** -- EDGEMAN 08/31/2020 11:10AM

On their fingers? ** -- PhotoHokieNC 08/31/2020 11:20AM

No surprise. They are about two weeks behind Auburn -- GreenvilleVT 08/31/2020 10:40AM

Is contact tracing in effect and if so, are there clusters? ** -- PhotoHokieNC 08/31/2020 10:33AM

1.8% positive? Meh. ** -- Hokie CPA 08/31/2020 10:28AM

But 15% last week? ** -- MVIII 08/31/2020 10:31AM

Yes, people will focus on that number... not realizing the total number of -- HokieSignGuy 08/31/2020 10:34AM

The positivity rate is probably the most telling metric. -- hokiemas 08/31/2020 10:43AM

Eh, I thought that too for a while. Not true in SC -- HokieHutch 08/31/2020 12:38PM

My presumption is that it’s not meaningful in this situation because now -- BG Hokie 08/31/2020 11:12AM

That would make sense. ** -- hokiemas 08/31/2020 11:27AM

Yeah, repeat positives wouldn’t make sense to count. -- HokieSignGuy 08/31/2020 10:47AM

Florida keeps track of both. It's annoying. Big difference between 5% and -- hokiemas 08/31/2020 10:50AM

I saw that, I guess the increase in positive tests was more alarming. -- MVIII 08/31/2020 10:38AM

Is every spike a cause for panic? ** -- PhotoHokieNC 08/31/2020 10:43AM

Not neccessarily -- Beerman 08/31/2020 10:51AM

Ok, I’m buffaloed. I swear I replied to someone who used that “p” word. ** -- PhotoHokieNC 08/31/2020 11:18AM

Right, it is reason to try and predict what will happen. -- MVIII 08/31/2020 10:58AM

It may be due to transition from general screening to targeted testing. -- Hokie360 08/31/2020 10:42AM

Yep, completely expected ** -- Hokerer 08/31/2020 10:45AM
