Message: [QUOTE="Fairfield Fan, post: 3735477, member: 6911"] The problem is that all around the university the virus is exploding. We've gone from less than 50 patients hospitalized in Connecticut to nearly 600. Governor Lamont has revealed that half of the hospital beds in the state designated for Covid patients are now filled. And the latest percentage of tests that are positive is nearly 5%. We're in the middle of the fifty states in terms of new infections in the past seven days per 100,000 population, while we used to be among the very lowest of the fifty states. What's even more concerning is that while in the past we were on par with the other states in the Northeast region, we're now double the infection rate of New York. UConn does not exist in a vacuum. Most of the students, the students who surround the athletes on the women's basketball team, come from Connecticut. Fingers crossed..... [/QUOTE]
