Keep an eye on BC Boston College reports spike in coronavirus cases among students

I like to poking the Nuthill crowd in the eye from time to time as much as anyone, but 104 positives out of 25K tests in the last month was a little disappointing.

Here is an interesting chart. It shows deaths per week (average 2015-2019) and compares it to deaths per week in 2020. This is ALL deaths. As you can see the 2020 line is higher than the the previous four year average. The higher line is usually defined as "excess deaths." However recently there haven't been any excess deaths. The USA as a whole is now losing less people per week than average. There are probably a number of valid ways to intepret this data. One is that Covid took out sick folks that would have died eventually much earlier. But it's obvious we are in a much better place than a few weeks ago. And much, much better than March/April. It is certainly the type of thing that the decision makers at universities in general and athletic departments in particular look at.

But wait, I thought college football players are stuck in an abusive relationship and don't want to play? I bet the coaches forced this kid to pen this letter.....
