[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DCs college sent an email requiring all student to sign a Covid-19 safety agreement and download a tracking app. The can be expelled for large gatherings (parties) because it violates the social distancing rules if the agreement. If DC doesn't comply with the agreement and app their classes will be dropped automatically.

Seems like China. But here we are.[/quote]

I love this idea.  Health and safety trumps all IMO.  [/quote]

[b]You don't really think that. You only feel this way because you are still earning money and able to pay others to do high risk things for you. If we were all under a true lockdown for months, my guess is that you'd feel differently[/b].[/quote]

Not the PP you're responding to (and I see that PP answered you earlier in the thread). It's beyond insulting to tell that poster what she does or doesn't think.

We NEED a true lockdown for months. Real and total except for "essential for life" activities -- food shopping (limited), hospitals and certain clinical care, basic services like electric/water/safety. We need landlords and mortgage companies to be ordered to pause, evictions put on hold. A pause on schools (yes, including colleges). PPP and/or serious safety net payments, whether it's in the form of unemployment or a temporary universal basic income. That would help those you seem to be concerned about--right?

And enforcement, because too many adults in this country cannot behave for the public good but consider their wants to be "needs."

If students are going back to colleges, which is utterly foolish considering the country's pandemic overall is worsening and not improving -- the kinds of tracking and restrictions and punishments people are discussing here are essential. It should be one strike and you're out, told you have 24 hours to get your stuff and be off campus by any means you can find.

yes, I have a college student who is returning in person to a small college with a very detailed plan, in an extremely low-covid county in a low-covid state. And they still are confining all students to campus all semester long -- you can't leave (except for medical emergency treatment). I hope they track the kids every minute and make examples of any who don't stay put, mask up, and observe the distancing that's been ordered.  I still would prefer a semester fully at home but we've decided jointly that DC will do this. If DC were caught violating the deal -- I'd support DC being punished.[/quote]
