Update: COVID-19 Case Statistics.  (Florida State University News, 9/8/2020)

The university is also aware of current reports and social media posts, which include photos and videos, of large social gatherings occurring off campus. Administrators are disappointed to see the public health guidance provided on multiple occasions has been disregarded by many. The health and safety of everyone and the success of our fall semester depends on both personal and community responsibility. FSU is again requesting local establishments and apartment complexes step in with appropriate restrictions where off-campus students are congregating.

The current increase in cases was not unexpected as it correlates to the marked increase in voluntary testing of the campus community during the first two weeks of the fall semester. Accordingly, as a result of this increase in positive cases, Florida State has implemented additional mitigation measures, such as reducing both the number and size of student events, restricting access to Greek houses to residents only and prohibiting tailgating at Doak Campbell Stadium before and after Saturday’s home game versus Georgia Tech.  [emphasis added]

It's all about the money.  Which is why the show, as in football game, must go on.

And what a joke this is!  COVID-19 case statistics are updated weekly!
