"Very few" is in fact representative of universities that have in fact closed correct?
You are a pretzel.
Just remember folks, its the democrats that think we need to keep everything locked down.

You are a pretzel.
When as many or more closed prior to Covid, you aren't making a compelling case here. You're making unsubstantiated claims to support a nonsense hypothesis.
The list of schools that closed substantiate it..... the fact you have a hard time with list that contain information you are going to have to ignore and can't figure out you are comparing 4 years to 2 years is just laughable.
It doesn't appear many of these colleges/universities closed due to Covid. It was a factor but the article states that all those schools were already under financial pressures. You really should read it. Also, how many of them were for-profit schools? The only one I recognize it Loyola Marymount.
You seem to have become a bit of a drama queen lately.
Edit: There were more schools on that list that closed 2 years prior to Covid than during and post-Covid.
If I felt like your post was worth a decent response i.wpuld have provided a decent response. You can always "you mad bro" someone, its weak.
Go on trying to prove a point that isn't supported in your linked article. Then have a temper tantrum after being called out on it. But it's me? Like I said, you are an odd fella.
I was asked a question: a cheesedixk one at that, and provided an answer. The answer contained "5" (don't even know where he got this number) that met the criteria but were immediately attempted to be discredited. Rubbing Joe's nose in the dirt when I know he is on one of his little pisspants "I'm gonna be right about something" tirades is just fun for me. Enjoy the show.
Sure. Except that you are wrong. You are just like Joe. You can never admit when you are wrong. It is pretty funny watching you two go at it.
I actually was just think8ng the same and was deciding how far I could push you. I'm sure Joe appreciates you defending his honor.
MOST of them closed unrelated to Covid.
Nearly ALL were under financial pressures prior to Covid.
MOST merged, rather than shutting completely.
He won't acknowledge any of this, because it destroys his narrative.
When Republicans complain about "in person schooling", remember what their real priorities are:
You are flailing. Meanwhile the markets arw absolutely shitting the bed and the piper is coming to collect for 2 years of piss poor, over bearing, policies.
Except kids NEVER died of covid at 1%... more like 1/100th of 1%.
That's the kind of lies they were telling to justify shutting things down.
5 kids in a school of 500 would die? Talk about a huge lie...

I think it’s important to clarify that especially early on, they were making recommendations based incomplete information, much of which turned out to be wrong, or not true to the extent they thought. That’s not the same thing as lying. And yes, we do know that there was some lying going on as well…on both sides of the debate.
I don’t think they were wrong in the spring of 2020 to push for schools to go remote for the remainder of the school year, based on what was known at the time. I do think that in the fall of 2020 when new school years began that continuing to be 100% remote in general was wrong, save for cases where schools/communities experienced outbreaks.
They did die at 4x to ~30x vs influenza, though.
0-17 yr olds
2021: 609 Covid deaths; 21 Influenza deaths
Ratio- 29:1
2022: 632 Covid deaths; 157 influenza deaths
Ratio- 4:1
Not a math major here. Is that close to 1%? more than 1%? what is the actual %? I am sure that you have the specific %
Obviously.
A 30:1 ratio of deaths isn't something to crow about being "safe" compared with influenza, is it?

How does mortality differ across countries? Examining the number of deaths per confirmed case and per 100,000 population. A global comparison.

That is indeed what those data indicate. It's far more dangerous across nearly all age demographics.
depends are we literally talking about 30-1 or 30,000 to 1,000? 8 to 38 isn't exactly a crisis. perspective matters.
Why is it so hard for Joes PLace to simply say, "It was wrong to keep schools closed throughout the 2020/21 school year."?
Personally, I agree with your sentiment but disagree with that blanket statement.
If a school or community went thru an outbreak, especially before the vaccine was widely available; I don’t think it was wrong to go remote if enough people got sick.
But many blue states did go with that blanket policy including the most populated state in the country.
Understood, I even broke it out for the rest of the math wizards here, we were dealing with a pandemic of biblical proportions, the apocalypse remember... well at least to the lab coat psychos with no acumen for public policy decisions like you... we can't make national or even state wide policy for 30 people. There's a threshold, and though I admit I don't know what that is exactly, I am certain we can't maintain as a society if we base policy decisions over a handful...
Lol. Even with all the evidence that points to shutting down schools long term was a disaster you still can’t admit it.
That begs the question. What would it take for Joes Place to admit he was wrong on any subject?
Schools shut themselves down
To keep from running out of teachers.
I...will...go....down...with...this....shippppppp
