Doom and gloom,with a little glee sprinkled in at the impending doom by covid-19 of those darn fundamentalist Christians after they opened up campus after spring break.
Six weeks later, not only was the NYT's typical misleading at best tweet proven to be their usual histerical garbage, but how many students on campus have tested positive for covid-19? Zero, much to the dismay of many here, I'm sure.

While some other schools locked the doors to dorms after spring break and as the pandemic spread, Falwell said he let 1,500 students return to dorms under strict rules of social distancing. Most returned because they had elderly parents at home they wanted to keep safe, or they didn't have internet, or they were international students.
They learned online, and eagerly, as the school logged its 100,000th "distance" student. They ordered out as the school restaurants turned to takeout meals.
Still, some, especially in the media, raised alarms that little was being done to prevent infection.
But the state health department conducted two surprise inspections and found everything in order and in compliance with Gov. Ralph Northam's rules. "All operations appeared to be in compliance with the governor's emergency order," said Jim Bowles, a state health manager before critical stories in the New York Times and ProPublica appeared.
