Today's Colleges Update

Insider.com is not maintaining and updating a list of all colleges with problems.

There are numbers now for East Carolina: 17 students in isolated from a cluster in a dorm.

Colorado College has quarantined a dorm (over a single positive test). 

The University of Kentucky has 189 people in quarantine.

Iowa State has 175 students in isolation. 

***********************************

It's not clear how each school uses the terms isolation and quarantines, but at ISU "About half of the students are isolating in isolation rooms provided by the department of residence" presumably in isolated dorms too. I mention this because UNC ran into a problem when all its isolation rooms were essentially filled by Monday evening. 

It sounds as if ISU actually isolated all the people it says are isolated, they would be having a UNC-style problem.

But ... hmmm ... it seems like these places aren't being exactly clear or forthcoming or consistent about their numbers. Go figure.
