[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have two daughters who should be going back to college in Fall. If anything them going back to college is far safer than being home virus wise.  I say that as both daughters now have lost their summer jobs. Both are doing Instcart and Doordash. It seems all their friends are in gig economy.  So they are in multiple supermarkets and restaurants every day. My one daughter is Mall opens will go back.

On top of that majority of older daughters friends including her are going  back to college in Fall if virtual or not. My older daughter has three roomates and a lease. The school nearly all Juniors and Seniors live off campus and apartments are not refunding if no school.

So exactly how does not having a Fall session in person help? My older daughter her small college town had zero cases of COVID when she left to head back to DC area with a lot of cases. I dont see point.

Am I only one? [/quote]

That small college town that and zero cases back in the spring probably doesn’t have adequate medical facilities to deal with a massive outbreak.  Thousands of college students flooding back from all over the country/world is practically guaranteed to spread it like wildfire.[/quote]

Just like that massive spike we were supposed to see two weeks after Spring Break?[/quote]

We saw a spike, but it was mostly mitigated because people started social distancing and governors closed down many retail and social gathering activities, college sports shut down, the NBA, NHL and MLB all shut down too.[/quote]
