There's just no way to know who's sick and transmitting the virus even with testing.

Thanks
clemsongirl for this info. There are some schools going all-virtual (Stanford, Arizona State) which I think is the smartest route despite girls not having the traditional experience.
And I was thinking along the lines of taking each girl's temperature with a handheld device, asking other pertinent questions regarding health, things that are being used already in some companies, healthcare facilities, etc. That could help. Wearing masks, as abhorrent as that sounds, would be another way (or at least for the larger rounds). Otherwise one PNM or member could start a spread through many houses which could easily jump through campus. Schools have enough challenges managing this just with classes, dorms, etc., why not add some safety features to rush?
