Do you solemnly agree to all of the above?
If it’s not fatal. If in most cases after vaccination this current variant is best described as mild. Then you can’t expect extraordinary circumstances to continue.
It’s not the number of people who have died after vaccine shot- it’s the percentage of people who had the vaccine who had to be hospitalised or worse that matters. You don’t use numbers this way. People can see through it. 5/7 doesn’t show how fast the virus spreads or whatever. It was just misleading.
What is special about GNLU?
Why are all other NLUs able to function properly going back to offline but y’all keep posting here every few days? Get a grip. If you have health related anxiety talk to a therapist. But no one else is buying this tbh.
And buddy its' not about dying, student don't need to live in a constant state of fear of getting positive inside an university campus, or jeopardise their health for no reason.
Coming to why only 7 ppl have tested so far, it is because the Registrar has blocked the efforts to bring start testing inside the campus, and students have to book cabs and go to far-away private clinics just to get tested. If mass testing starts today, I bet more than 250+ cases would be there on campus.
Look I mean universities across the world have opened up now. Hardly any are still doing online. Part of the reason is if you get your vaccine shots and you get your booster , you won’t die. Your illness will likely be mild. Other part of the reason is the current variant seems to be quite mild. A passing cold and fever that resolves itself in a few days without hospital stay even.
Universities can’t keep shut because there are still uncured illnesses out there. That’s a ridiculous ask.
And 5/7 is misleading cause it connotes a percentage. This isn’t a percentage. Likely 7 students exhibited symptoms or wanted testing and 5 of them had positive results.
Either you have health anxiety you need to get under control. Or you’re fighting a losing battle for lowered university standards by going online. Either way this seems like a you problem.
The strength of the classes have gone below 50% as students falling sick stay back in their rooms, and more and more ppl continue sneezing and coughing throughout the classes. The efforts to get students tested for their safety and as a precautionary measure due to the sudden spike in the students falling ill have fallen on deaf ears as the Registrar has prevented the doctor from starting Rapid Antigen on campus.
As a result of which, students have been forced to travel outside the campus and pay in private clinic for getting tested. 7 ppl have got themselves tested out of which 5 r positive, a big warning sign of a potentially big outbreak before it's too late.
Let's not make the same mistake jo 2nd wave aur April mein kiya tha, when evryone was telling, 'covid khatam ho gaya', 'learn to live with Covid'. Bhai in both these instances (for gnlu), 2nd wave was the worst for GNLU and the April outbreak also saw multiple ppl falling sick big time.
The University is living in denial which is the worst thing to be done here. Just as a precautionary step, pls pls pls start voluntary testing (not even compulsory) on campus, ppl "" can't go outside everyday""" to pvt hospitals to get tested, before it gets too late and we face another unstoppable Covid outbreak in campus like thr last time. Let's not repeat the mistakes we made last time in April. There r already 5 +ve cases out of 7, let's not ignore the warning sign.
