Kudos to @EmersonCollege (and their #COVID19 lead @emuurisepp) for doing a stellar job!
A key component of their success: *mandatory* weekly testing of all students taking classes on campus, with results reported directly to the College.
I’d love to see @UVA do this!

Emerson has done more that 20K tests and has had only 18 positives. In a large, densely-populated city. With high-rise dorms. emerson.edu/one-emerson/da…
If @UVA tested every student taking classes on Grounds, every week, I suspect risk behaviors would decrease.

The wastewater testing and random testing is great, but I suspect mandatory weekly testing would make individual students feel a greater sense of urgency to avoid behaviors that could expose them to COVID-19.
I believe that most UVA students are doing everything in their power to stay healthy and keep on-Grounds classes open. Mandatory weekly testing could nudge the rest of the students toward doing the same.
