[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If a college kid gets sick, then what?  Keep them in the dorms if they are not able to go home?  What if they are sick for a month and miss the entire semester?

This can easily be shared with 100's of kids in the dorms, sharing bathrooms and cafeterias.  Bad idea.[/quote]

How is this a thing if less than 0.5% have had it, most are completely asymptomatic, no reports of asymptomatic teens giving adults or others the virus, and a miniscule number of people in their twenties have died and most if not all had pre-exisiting conditions.

Open the colleges, allow professors to teach online if they choose.  Allow families to choose living on campus, commuter, or remote learning.  Sign waivers for campus and commuter students.

College kids have a million times more risk to die of alcohol poisoning, the regular flu or a car accident.  It is time to move on for the younger kids, teens, and college kids.  [/quote]

During a typical 3 month period, 550 Americans die of alcohol poisoning. The largest group of those are ages 35 to 64.  They make up 76% of those deaths.

Even if we assume that all the rest of the alcohol poisonings are people under 35 (doubtful, but I'll give you that).  That's 132 deaths.  654 Americans under 35 died of covid in the same period.

How is that millions more?

Also, where are you getting the info that asymptomatic young adults don't pass the virus?  Prepubescent children yes, people over 18?  I haven't seen anything to support that.
