Thread. About @NotreDame handling of the #COVID19 situation so far. I know it's too early to give a final verdict and challenges lie ahead (football games) but I think the administration has done a phenomenal job (contrary to what I know many faculty believe). And here is why.
The basic premise has always been to give students when possible an in-person experience. And now it seems to be working.

What were the elements to achieve this?
1) Distancing, mask wearing in rooms, basic separation wherever possible between students (less vulnerable) and the more vulnerable faculty and staff. Including giving faculty who have medical pre-conditions the permission to teach online.
