I picked Oneonta because of its isolation, hoping we would be shielded in sorts from hotspots in large urban areas. Don't get me wrong, many students held parties and there were no safety precautions. But there are thousands of colleges across America, do you really think that those kids aren't partying? Of course they are. The schools blatant negligence caused this outbreak. When I was in the dorms there were virtually no checks at all. In order to get into the dining hall you had to put your hands on the doors. While thats normally fine the hand sanitizing dispensers were almost always empty and never refilled. On top of that when they had us get tested they had 200+ kids crowd into one building to get tested. Coincidentally, not too many kids tested positive that day of testing. But tests taken after showed a larger number of corona cases because we infected one another when they crammed us into a building for mandatory testing. I was tested on Monday August 31st and did not receive my results until September 9th. Why didn't I get my results in 2-3 days like most people? Because they lost tests through the incompetent handling of a serious crisis. If you thought that was it...you are wrong. I was refused testing because I did not own a smart phone. I had to go into town to get tested. My roommate had been hanging out with some kids on our floor for extended periods of time, and told the health center this. They told him because he hasn't gotten his test results back yet that he can go home. As soon as he got home he got tested and is now positive. They are sending kids home so its not there problem anymore. Peoples lives will be lost due to this, accountability is key here. They may think that blaming negligent students will distract everyone from the only people who could have made this situation safe for everyone. Incompetence that endangers the lives of families of students should not be rewarded. Do not choose Oneonta for your children, it might be your life at stake.
