College kids can isolate from older populations. Even if they get sick, they will stay in their dorms and get immunity.[/quote]

Same here.  They have less side effects than having the flu.  The media is going to be all over these numbers is a fear factoring way.  None of them are even in a hospital.  Almost all of them aren't even showing symptoms. Now they have it and will move on.  [/quote]

Jesus the issue isn't just will the kids be ok, but will they spread it throughout the entire community and by community I mean the WHOLE town. They don't live in a bubble. Plus we don't know that the immunity after the infection is enduring - they won't be immune forever![/quote]

But the same students would be spreading it at home.  Colleges and universities are testing them regularly, requiring behavior contracts, social distancing etc.

It’s a lot better than house parties at home or the beach.[/quote]

I don't know how you parent your kids but mine are at home. One or two friends over outside in the pool far apart. Not everyone is a horrible person and expecting nothing of their children. [/quote]

First of all, these are young adults, not kids. Second, in fact my DS is an essential worker, as are many in this age group.  We aren’t all so privileged to have a pool in the yard for our (adult) kids to float around with one or two other (adult) kids. They can go back to campus and be safe and responsible there. Even if classses are online to protect workers at risk.[/quote]
