Message: [QUOTE="Blueberries, post: 3766343, member: 6849"] UMass Lowell is about 10 minutes away from my work. For the entire Fall 2020 semester thus far there have been 52 total positive cases out of 16,062 tests performed on campus which is a 0.32% positivity rate. This is indeed in stark contrast to the city of Lowell overall which has had higher rates over the last several months including an 11.9% positivity rate over the last 14 days (1881 positive tests) However, whoever said that MA rates are amongst the highest in the nation is incorrect and actually the current cases per 100,000 people in MA is slightly lower than CT (3,975 for MA compared to 4,002 for CT). Both states fall in the middle of the pack here per the CDC as of today. I’m thankful that UML was willing to take on this game and am glad that the huskies will finally get to start their season!
