Biden is now speaking.

This is chaos from a small number of extremists, a mob, bordering on sedition.
Biden calls on Trump to go on national tv and call for an end to the "siege."
Biden's calling for unity and decency, 'not stoking the flames of hate and chaos.'

America is about tolerance and decency. That's who we are.

#USCapitol
Did Biden say the riot is an insurrection, or verges on insurrection?
"'a godawful display today" - Biden

#USCapitol
Biden:
"President Trump, step up...
God preserve those protecting order in the Capitol"

So the CDC has a new study about #highereducation and #COVID19 .

Listen closely.

#thread
First, CDC links pandemic spread with f2f campuses:

"university counties with in-person instruction (n = 79) experienced a 56% increase in incidence, comparing the 21-day periods before and after classes started."

56%!
Second, CDC links teaching online to *lower* pandemic spread:

"U.S. counties with large colleges or universities with remote instruction (n = 22) experienced a 17.9% decrease in incidence"

Listening to a Senate hearing on opening universities up for in person instruction:
help.senate.gov/hearings/covid…
Key point: Purdue's president says any student, staff, or faculty member who doesn't want to be on campus can learn/teach/work remotely.

Looks like fall 2020 is HyFlex.
Daniels stated that Purdue has ordered >1 mile of plexiglass.

I'm getting more worried about the fall semester.

Here are some reasons why.

Many campuses want to open up again. It's understandable, for a some reasons. But it's going to be hard.

To begin with, US #HigherEducation enrollment will probably be lower. It'll vary by institution and which scenario they follow (bryanalexander.org/scenarios/earl…), and some may enjoy growth, but overall should tick down compared w/fall 2020.

(2/n)
At the same time, many costs will go up.

Think about what's likely involved in opening up a campus: contact tracing, surveillance, doing perimeter temperature checks, frequent testing (assuming that's possible), and whatever "deep cleaning" means for a school.

A few thoughts about fall enrollment.

#thread
I'm not sure how far down total enrollment will go.
There are lots of pressures:
-fear of reinfection for f2f classes
-suspicion of online class quality
-circulation of bad stories
It'll be uneven.
Community colleges, vo tech, some state schools could see an influx.
