The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s timing was perfect for Boston University. The same week that the CDC announced new findings showing that masks not only protect wearers from spreading the coronavirus, but that they also protect wearers from contracting it, BU saw a spike in reports of people not wearing masks, from 4 last week to 14 this week.

Mask up, folks.

Other numbers from November 6 to 12 were also troubling. The incidents of students failing to comply with required attestation reports went from 1,458 to 2,113, and the number of students who saw their BU ID and Wi-FI deactivated rose from 264 to 287. Here are some other numbers:

  1. What about the outside contractors we see on campus every weekday doing indoor renovations on elevators, etc. inside campus buildings, some of who come from outside MA (like NH, according to their vehicle license plates), and are not always wearing masks and social distancing when they’re inside, especially when they take indoor breaks chatting away in a room with the door open and students/staff walking by clearly seeing them not wearing masks and social distancing?

    1. Guidance: When students get home, they must immediately crawl under their bed. They must hold their breath and may not exhale for 7 days. If they survive, they must carefully emerge give thanks (for public health authorities) and breathe only shallowly for the remainder of their stay at home. Reports of all personal contacts and impure thoughts must be made daily. When they return to campus, they must repeat this same procedure. Failure to comply with this guidance may result in punishment including, without limitation, solitary confinement, starvation rations, re-education training and/or loss of wi-fi privileges. No tuition refunds will be given. Thank you for your cooperation.
