You may now know that Stanford will be on line only first two weeks of the Winter Qtr.  So it’s possible no fans for a bit.  However if we can attend Jan 7 I’ll post info on the get together and we can meet Pre game also.

Announced the same day that Stanford relayed it was going on-line for first 2 weeks of winter quarter was this tidbit:  of the 2 million people in highly vaccinated Santa Clara County (where Stanford resides), there is a total of 10 Omicron reported cases.  And the number of those cases in hospitals?  ZERO!  [Also, I'd be curious how many of those 10 cases are anywhere near Stanford geographically - that info not disclosed that I saw].

I know the Covid board closed, but good grief, Stanford administrators.  Also,  Dr. Cody's predicted "deluge" sounds an awful lot like "cold and flue season" . . .

Stanford is far from alone on the two week policy after the break.   In fact, a number of schools this week changed their finals format for this week to virtual DURING the week.  I think a lot of schools are looking at pretty troubling Omnicron outbreaks, and many are making moves without government rules or mandates.

The slight delay is pretty clever.   Many students are likely already have the virus, or will go home and get the virus.   So by keeping them at home for two weeks they likely will test positive or get sick at home.   The new element in play will be those booster shots requirements that a lot of schools are now requiring.   If some families only now start looking for appointments they may not get that booster until after Christmas, so for a lot of schools you then would have to wait a few weeks for that booster to offer the added protection.
