and the Daily has some more info about campus events in general

In addition to in-person classes resuming on Jan. 21, Stanford aims for staff to return to on-site work by Feb. 14, according to Tessier-Lavigne and Drell.

There are currently 103 patients hospitalized with COVID-19 at Stanford Hospital, with nine of the 103 currently in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), according to Minor. Of the nine patients in the ICU, all are either unvaccinated or have multiple serious medical conditions that make them severely immunocompromised, Minor added. He also emphasized that roughly 50% of the 94 patients that are in the acute care unit — those hospitalized but not in the ICU — tested positive for COVID-19 upon arrival, but were admitted to the hospital for reasons unrelated to the virus.

That is interesting information.

What would be more useful:  (i) what number, exactly, is "roughly 50%," (ii) how many of those hospitalized are "local," and (iii) how many of the roughly 47 acute patients are unvaccinated or have multiple comorbidities?  To bring it to Stanford's policy, IF 100% of those hospitalized are unvaccinated, then doesn't that affect the balance of considerations/wisdom of Stanford's policy disallowing fans at Maples (which fans have to show proof of vaccination or a negative test within last 24 hours?).  

Again, whatever.  I think we'll see full-scale "surrender" to virus and dumping of testing for school kids in favor of just having kids stay home if they feel sick (like we do with most everything else now).   Virus W; ROW (or at least the U.S.) L.
