+100 My son is there and he is having a blast...relatively speaking. Being able to experience that game last week is going to be unforgetable. He is working hard, spending time with his good friends in his bubble, and getting ready for exam week and to head home. I couldn't be prouder of him and am grateful he is having some semblance of normal. it is going to be a rough couple of months being stuck at home, but hoping he can get back again in February.

Stop Notre Dame Mom! Listen to yourself: “My son .. this and that” “Me me me”. Where is the concern for others and responsible behavior? I don’t care how happy your son are is at Notre Dame. How can you be so selfish? This has been awful for the community. First the football team gets it. Then Fr. John gets it at the mask-less White House party. Now this irresponsible surge into the field! Yes cases are up in Indiana. More cases on the football team were announced this past week. Fr. John called the surge onto the field “disappointing” last Friday. And three days ago Coach Kelly said Notre Dane “ wasn’t doing enough” to confront the virus. This is a PR disaster and is not helped by moms bragging how much fun their son is having -without any regard for anyone else - at Notre Dame. Button it.

[b]Why? It is true. He has classes in person (4 out of 5). He is living with his roommates on campus (not sitting at a computer in the basement). He is going to football games!! He got to see ND beat Clemson. He is independent and living college life. Hey, he even can sit by a fire pit right outside his dorm. All good. Some people got sick. We knew that was going to happen. DS hasn't been contact traced or gotten the virus, so he is going to come home next week without having missed a beat during the semester. COVID is not killing students. Nobody at ND has died from COVID. Why don't you "button it" PP.

Are you not capable of learning anything? The PP said you showed no empathy and only talked about yourself and your son. Look at what you wrote in response: "He . . " "He . . " "He . . ." "He . . " "He . . " "He . . . " then "all good"! You have zero capacity to observe a situation and think about anyone other than your son or yourself. That's why the PP said "button it". You are harming the school by your selfish attitude.

I do not have to button it lol. I can write about whatever I want on any forum on this website. So, once again, all good! He already found out he got a 95 on one of his finals. Coming down the home stretch!! Notre Dame is an awesome place...even during a pandemic. At least he is having a life. Jealous much? If you no like...do not click. LOL

People can disagree with you without being "jealous."

And, you SERIOUSLY need to spend some time in that church of yours. Because your angry, gloating, rants . . . not a good look and evidence of a deficit in your soul. And you are not a good example of your faith or your school or your church. It certainly isn't what Jesus would condone (and I grew up Catholic). Your priest can help with these things. You should take advantage of that b/c you have some work to do there.

I'm a college advisor so sim the DCUM "College and University Discussion" page quickly every day to get a feel of what is happening. The ND thread caught my eye since everyone is concerned about the implications of COVID. Covid shut down Cambridge University in March. Oxford decided to go ahead. Now all the Oxford students are on hard lock-down and facing (maybe) military intervention if Boris Johnson gets his way. So it's interesting to see how American Universities are handling the problem vis-a-vis the European

DP. Jealous? No way. Horrified? For sure. My Catholic kids are at Ivy League schools and embracing concepts of civic responsibility, which is consistent with their faith. You have painted yourself as the worst kind of climber I encountered in the local Catholic schools. You still have time for penance, and you should definitely rush to confession.

(Now watch: Notre Dame Mom will claim she and her son are not Catholic, as she has done in the past to get out of tight situations)

Notre Dame is doing great. It is working on becoming the first University in the country to reach community immunity. About 25% of the on-campus students have or had covid. And, they are helping out currently by transmitting covid around the State and soon - the country. Thanks Notre Dame. The goal is to see how many people we can infect. Sure, many will suffer and some will die, but what more could you ask for? After all - didn’t the President of the school catch covid by being stupid enough to violate school rules in public?

If you clowns had any common sense you would realize that the whole country should have been doing this. By exploiting the huge gradient in mortality and other bad consequences of COVID, the spread should be encouraged in colleges, schools and other places for young people while only the vulnerable are locked away. Imagine what would happen if all places quickly achieved community immunity with closing down normal businesses and most of the bad consequences of the cure. If COVID is still active on campus, keep the students there and certainly away from vulnerable people. Sweden was right.

You are stupid with such limited brain capacity that you can only think of how your immediate family can benefit. Just laying it out there.
