MU Leads Big East ... in CV19 cases

At Schroeder I used to stock up for the weekend and bring the beer in earlier in he week stuffed in a winter coat or buried under books in a backpack.

I remember some desperate nights where we would hand beer cans through the screen to someone in the Schroeder basement.  I see the basement windows are all boarded up now.

Btw Marquette quarantining students together in a residence hall is not a good place idea.  It's just going to spread to everyone. If I were a parent I'd get my kid out of there.

It is the best choice of a bunch of bad choices.

You don't want kids going home and spreading to their local communities.

Sending sick people home, I agree with you.  But those in quarantine are "close contacts."  Sending them home is a much better option, then having potentially positive people quarantining with those who are negative. 

IMO I really believe the primary motivation is so they don't have to "go virtual" entirely and reimburse room and board.

I had one of those old Compaq(?) PC and monitor in the same unit back at Schroeder.   The thing needed repair and they shipped it to me in a box that was at least 4' x 4'.

The desk attendants wouldn't let me take it up to my room, they thought I was smuggling in a keg.  I had to open the box before they let me go.

Me and a few buddies also learned how to conceal a full case in our clothes and winter jackets only.  Stuffing pockets, hoods, socks, etc behind Marquette Foods. (No æssholes were used in the transport of beer.)

One of friends had a very puffy winter jacket that everyone referred to as "Puff the Magic Jacket" for the ability to smuggle more beer in Schroeder than anyone else in one shot.

I worked the front desk at McCormick (which, for you newer readers, used to be a residence hall on 16th and Wisconsin), and I would let all reasonable attempts at concealment pass by. I needed plausible deniability for myself. You can usually tell when someone is trying to conceal something. 19 year olds are a bunch of goodie two shoes.

I had one resident try walking in with his hockey bag filled with cans of beer. Bulging in ugly directions, circular sweat rings on the outside because it was a warm day. I just laughed at him, told him to go pack some sweatshirts around the beer so it wasn't so conspicuous, and come back later. I wasn't about to lose my job for someone half-assing sneaking beer into the dorm. Marquette has admission standards, after all.

The hockey bags would get slid under the "out" turnstiles, and they'd walk in, then go pick them up. 

I dont know if i could drink beer out of a hockey bag.

The things you can do with a hockey or in my case lacrosse bag. Helped a friend smuggle in a keg to Schroeder in his hockey bag, smuggled the girl I was dating into Schroeder in my lacrosse bag. For cans I had a backpack that fit 36 beers perfectly without being obvious so it was Great for a 36 pack of boxer

[The Sultan]

I started early in the week, taking an empty backpack to class then stopping by Dany's for a 12 pack.  By the weekend, I had plenty and was never stopped by front desk people lunchtime on Tuesday.

Yup. That was the key. Low and slow.

We had a really cool DR at McCormick who worked Friday's mid-afternoon. We'd get back from class at 2, do a beer run to Dany's, (we didn't even have to use hockey bags, just our backpacks) the guy would let us go by then we'd head down to the Rec Center to play basketball. When the guy ran for MUSG President we were his biggest campaigners in McCormick.

Midweek around 8:30 was a good time too - the DR's assumed we were coming from class or the Library.

My wife used computer boxes when she was in McCormick.

Providence shuts down for the semester:

Where are you seeing that they're shutting down for the rest of the semester? I just found this article that indicates they are switching to complete remote learning for a week:

I hope NYT continues to update this data.

[muwarrior69]

14 days in Schroeder. Yikes!

https://marquettewire.org/4037928/news/schroeder-hall-residents-to-quarantine-after-rise-in-covid-19-cases/

Wow! The administration is allowing students who are suppose to quarantine to go home but they have to email their head resident if they do so. Why would they do that? I thought the idea was to prevent the spread. You think they would have kept them all at Schroeder to be tested, and how many other students were in contact with Schroeder residents, should they not be quarantined as well? Also no mention of the students who were positive if they experienced serious symptoms. That would be important information to know without violating HIPPA.

[muwarrior69]

Not sure where that number comes from. I do know Marquette has 46 cases since mid August.

How many were serious.

My bad, I read it while using my Jump to Conclusions mat.

Marquette is isolating those who are sick, and quarantining their close contacts.  You don't need to quarantine close contacts of close contacts.  And you don't need to quarantine everyone who came in contact with someone who is sick, just those who are *close* contacts.

So they are sick. They have fevers, shortness of breath etc. They are not asymptomatic. Why was that not reported in the Wire.

[Mr. Nielsen]

How many were serious.

None.

Marquette doesn't have the lead. I'm not sure if they had the lead when this first came out on September 10, because Heise didn't list UCconn and I didn't think to look. I can't believe none of us caught that.

UConn = 253
Marquette = 240 (+102)
Creighton  = 181 (+50)
Georgetown = 131 (+28)
Butler = 116 (+61)
Villanova = 77 (+18)
Xavier = 65 (+24)
St. Johns = 41 (+32)
Providence = 40 (+32)
Seton Hall = 10 (no change)
Depaul = 6 (no change)

Guess this is how Marquette gets herd immunity.

Not sure this is credible. I don't trust that UConn isn't inflating test scores.

Well that sucks. We finally have the lead, and choke it away. Fire Wojo!!!
