Princeton University has joined Cornell in moving its final exams online after reporting a surge of dozens of COVID cases—up from zero on Sunday—that it says are likely driven by the highly-contagious Omicron variant. In just two days, the campus reported a combined 39 new cases of COVID among students. University data indicated that 20 students tested positive for the virus on Tuesday, and 19 others had tested positive on Monday.(Snip)Princeton—which boasts a 99 percent vaccination rate for undergrad students—is also mandating booster shots as it attempts to curb the spread of the seemingly unstoppable variant.
And how many hospitalizations and deaths? Zero? Bueller? Anyone?

Good idea.
After spending most of my working life in a classroom, I can tell you that many students, during tests, lose normal inhibitions. They are entirely focused on the test.
Boys scratch, adjust, cough and sneeze. Girls do the same, and in addition, forget how to sit modestly.
The testing room air is probably at maximum funkiness. - the perfect breeding ground for kung flu.

Are the vaccines real, or did we all get the placebo?

Dateline December 15, 2038 - - - - A Princeton student, Javrawa Bagwalladsh, stubbed his toe against a curb today. As a result, all Ivy League classes, which have been closed since 2029, will remain closed for at least one more decade. There will be no tuition refunds and all professors and administrators will continue to have their full pay sent to one of their vacation properties.

The boosters will only increase the chances for heart damage and strokes.
These 'vaccines' have become worthless, more is NOT better.
I will repeat.....Is anyone actually sick? "Tested positive" means NOTHING.

None of the vaccines/ boosters are against Delta or Omicron!! They are against the original spike protein. Why multiple jabs of the same, especially when we know they don't work????

Nice and easy to cheat too. I agree with #6.
This is insanity. Grown people behaving like delicate little hothouse flowers. During winter, how about classrooms having decent ventilation if everyone so freaked out? Princeton surely has the money to see to more environmentally healthy classrooms with the crazy tuition they charge students!

In the olden days they just pulled the fire alarm.
Online tests mean the same as mail in voting, cheating will prevail.

Well, for some of these students this will be their last Christmas with their parents. Right? I hope they all take lots of pictures around the tree for memories sake.

The J&J booster/ shot doesn't work in vitro. Why are the super smart Ivy League colleges/univeristies advocating something that doesn't work?

Good grief - cases are not hospitalizations and/or deaths!

Princeton and Cornell will soon learn their wokism is going to put them out of business. People have discovered there is no need for a physical university. Save all that money. Everything can be done online.

A serious question here: How would Princeton react if a substantial number of black students refused to submit to vexing?

That should be "vaxxing" in the post above. Lucianne corrected me.
