North Carolina State University Chancellor Randy Woodson said large parties may be to blame as undergraduate classes move to all-online. Some students who just moved into their dorms weeks ago are now moving back home to learn remotely starting Monday. Woodson said he is disappointed in-person classes didn't work. In a message to students and faculty, the chancellor said people did not take personal responsibility. He also heard reports of large parties off campus.

What the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC) discovered is that COVID-19 infections occur when universities bring students back to campus. An initial surge of infections is no surprise.

Reindustrialization is viable for Hong Kong if efforts are well-targeted and play to the city’s strengths. Hong Kong is often compared to Singapore, where there is a wide industrial base despite it being physically smaller than Hong Kong with a smaller population and equally devoid of natural resources. InvestHK reported that as of 2019, Hong Kong had over 3,184 startups employing over 12,478 people. Hong Kong is proud of its technology unicorns, such as online logistics group GoGoVan, travel booking platform Klook, and fintech company WeLab.
