[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do you even know this, OP? On the radar of things my kid wants to talk about when we call, a sick professor is not on the list.[/quote]

NP. I can answer for my kid.[b] We have talked about how many people have COVID[/b], and in that conversation, she mentioned her professors being out. [/quote]

Seriously that’s a topic you talk about with your kid away at college 😳. The only time this has ever come up with my 2 kids is when one of them tested positive

I have no clue the illness status of my kids friends. Nor do I care. My kids haven’t mentioned professors being out. [/quote]

DP: Why would you expect other people's kids to talk about the same thing you talk about with your kids??? That's super weird. 
It doesn't strike me as unusual for a kid to say in a phone call , 'yeah everyone I know is getting covid, I've been lucky so far.  Even 2 of my professors were out sick this week" or whatever.  [/quote]

Or to ask your kid how they have been feeling/did they get any "sept return to college illness" like many kids get even pre-covid?  Especially if your parent FB pages are filled with "my kid is sick/my kid has covid how do they see a doctor/where is the nearest urgent care/where is the nearest pharmacy to pick up a prescription".  It's obvious when covid or other illnesses are running rampant and many parents do check in on their own kids...it's called caring.
