[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ohio State has 882 cases.  They added over 800 new cases in one week.  They are holding steady on percent % on campus— but are at almost 10% positive off campus. Double a few days ago.

[b]In response Ohio State has asked their students to take COIVD seriously, mask and social distance. Please. If you don’t mind.[/b] [/quote]

What an innovative request. I’m sure no school has thought of that yet. [/quote]

NP. Yep. The problem is that these have been "requests" and colleges are "asking" students to follow protocols. It's too late now for most schools, of course, but they should have (and still can) require masks, require distancing, etc. They would have to do the one thing they're scared to do: Enforce. They're scared parents will rebel because the parents will say how they pay big bucks for college and colleges can't tell their supposed "adult" children what to do, but can only ask. Sorry, if my adult college student isn't following the rules I welcome her being called out, and if she won't comply, sent home.[/quote]

Many of the colleges had the students sign a contract agreeing to certain conditions before returning to campus. Dartmouth’s contract even says they agree to take a vaccine if one is approved by both  the FDA and the school. [/quote]

God, I hope they don't force students to take an untested Trump vaccine.[/quote]

Agreed!  This is being pushed out way too fast.[/quote]
It’s not a “Trump vaccine” you idiots. It is an Oxford/Astrazeneca vaccine. And they know a lot more about COVID and vaccines than a bunch of rando suburban women on DCUM. But hey, keep hiding in your urban farmhouses and don’t get the vaccine to score stupid political points. [/quote]

DP. Your name-calling is immature and your lack of understanding of vaccine trials is showing. [i]Trial data[/i] for the Oxford vaccine [i]might[/i] be ready to present to regulators before the end of this year. Presenting trial data is not the same thing as having actual vaccines ready to stick into everyone's arms by the end of the year. Yet the administration is making all kinds of noise about a vaccine being "available" -- meaning in their minds, [i]ready for actual use in the population[/i] -- very soon. That's not what those actually working on the vaccine are saying. Some of us "randos" know how to read.

But if it is approved by people who know what they are talking about, then what exactly would your problem be with it then? [/quote]

You missed the point entirely. The point is the timing. If you really believe it can and will be approved and ready to roll out [u]to the general public[/u] by the end of this year, you are naive or you blindly trust whatever the administration tells you. I have no issue with a vaccine and would take it or have my kid take it if it's gone through the correct approvals. Those approvals include tests that can't be done on a rushed timeline. Certainly not by election day, which was one timeline the administration was trying to toss out there recently. 
But I'm betting you're the same repeat PP who keeps coming back with the "you want to score political points by not taking a vaccine" nonsense. And who stereotypes women in our "urban farmhouses," whatever that means. Like another poster above, I hope you do not have children. [/quote]
