Los Angeles County Coronavirus Update: COVID Hits USC Students And Faculty Hard As Virus Spreads To Younger Population – Deadline

A coronavirus outbreak has hit USC’s fraternity row, where about 40 people tested positive for COVID-19, USC Student Health’s chief health officer Dr. Sarah Van Orman told the Los Angeles Times. “A significant number of the cases were associated with four fraternity houses,” Van Orman said. The outbreak did not stop there, however. In all, about 150 Trojan students and employees have tested positive so far, even as the school has moved the vast majority of classes online, canceled events, limited on-campus housing, added mask requirements as well as social-distancing and symptom-checking measures. “Unless all of us understand that right now our only tools are physical distancing and wearing masks, we’re going to continue to have devastation, not only in terms of the econ...

Stream Billie Eilishs New Song, My Future – NPR

YouTube If anyone could take her career to the next level during lockdown, it's Billie Eilish.
