(CNN)More than 20,000 cases of Covid-19 among students and staff have been reported at colleges and universities across at least 36 states, according to a CNN tally.

Some of the most significant outbreaks have occurred at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, which reported about 900 cases in August; University of Alabama, which reported over 1,000 cases in the past two weeks; and Illinois State University, which reported 750 new cases in the past seven days.
The campus reopenings represent new coronavirus hot spots in a country with plenty enough already as the US surpassed 6 million total confirmed cases on Monday.

2. I think we've got about two more weeks before they shut all the in-person classes down

At all educational levels.

It never made sense to me, no matter how much we need or want our kids back in school.

The virus is going to make the rules, not us.

4. Many school districts in my area delayed in person opening by 2-3 weeks.

Started with online, and then plan to open next week with kids on campus. I don’t get what they think is going to change in 2 or 3 weeks.

5. If they shut the schools down, Trump is toast.

You cannot make parents go back to work without school.
