We have one data point from colleges that I know of: Liberty University. Idiot Jerry Fallwell Jr. insisted on reopening after their spring break and, almost immediately they started having cases. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/29/us/po...lwell.html
They had to close again under state order shortly after that.
Colleges seem like a perfect place for the virus to spread. Many people in close proximity, sharing bathrooms, etc. Plus young people seem to get milder symptoms, so they may be less likely to seek testing or medical help.
As for ag workers, prisoners, etc., in CA at least, Gov. Newsom just announced expanded testing and surveillance in communal living situations like homeless shelters: https://abcnews.go.com/Health/wireStory/...s-70275541
Hopefully that testing would also include ag worker housing, prisons, etc., though I couldn't find the details.

Quote:Homeless residents who are asymptomatic would qualify for tests under new protocols announced Tuesday by state[url=https://abcnews.go.com/alerts/Obamacare][/url] health officials. California will broaden guidelines for who gets tested by including people who live or work in high-risk settings like shelters, the Department of Health said. Previously only those hospitalized or showing symptoms got tested.
