[quote=Anonymous]VT has a big off campus party culture. There is no way there aren’t going to be outbreaks. Everyone sending their kid to a large state school is absolutely fooling themselves. This virus is just too damn contagious. It doesn’t matter if the vast majority are asymptomatic or mildly ill. If a lot of cases pop up the school and county health department WILL freak out and shut things down. The NRV is not big enough to handle a ton of COVID hospitalizations and they have to protect the local community.

I feel for parents of college aged kids. It’s just a really unlucky time to have kids this age. I’m a professor who graduated from VT and I feel the same way about having young elementary kids during this pandemic. They aren’t going to be getting the experiences we had and the experiences they need. I try not to let myself dwell on it too much because it’s really sad. I do think all the young people being adversely affected by the shutdowns will gain resilience from this, if us older people help model it.[/quote]
