We are hearing of student's that have been hospitalized from campuses -- not sure where the slide yesterday during press conference came from or how it was validated 4.

Fatalities now rising in the heartland : fatalities should decline over the next 4 weeks if outbreaks can be limited and not spread to local communities and hometowns : data will be unstable this week due to reporting 7.
