[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If they expect the rates to get higher in the Fall/Winter, there will be no school this year. And millions will lose their jobs and kids will fall behind because teacher’s unions absolutely suck. Even more than the lazy whiny teachers who are non stop about their pay, holidays, work load, class size, etc...

There are plenty of essential workers out there getting the same pay doing their jobs. [b] Colleges are going back. [/b] Daycares are already back.

Public schools? Heavens no!!! We just can not do it.

Pathetic. [/quote]

U of Alabama, U of Georgia, and U of Washington have already had outbreaks with hundreds of cases, including some staff and teachers, and in-person classes haven't even started yet. Colleges are going to be a major problem in the fall, if this past month is any indication. And it's impossible to keep outbreaks contained to campus once they've started, especially since younger adults are less likely to show serious symptoms. They're going to be walking around town spewing the COVID, thinking they're just hung over.[/quote]

People can test positive for MONTHS.  My husband is on day 73 and is STILL testing positive.  Hasn't been symptomatic or contagious in over 50 days.  Testing people as they come on campus will show plenty of positive cases.  Doesn't mean they are contagious or active.  It just means they need to quarantine for the 14 days.

2. Southern colleges are not making their students wear masks which is ridiculous.  They are in their own element. The U of Alabama students were throwing covid contest parties. U of Miss are having massive frat parties already.

3. U of Wash had 117 cases out of 1000 greek house residents - all living in close quarters.  That is not bad for the outbreak they have had.  I bet more than half of those positive cases are just lingering and the more that get in before classes start in Sept, the better.

4.  NONE of the cases are actively sick or hospitalized.

You are not going to be able to hide from this and shelter in your homes.  Our country does not have a leader that was able to actively slow down the virus.  We will never be able to move on with our lives.  A vaccine could easily be another year away.  People don't want to wear masks and people want their "rights" to stay the same.   I don't agree with it, but I am also not sheltering in my home for 18+ months because of it.
