[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I cannot help but ask why so many people are rooting for ND to fail.  If they can contain this...if the illness continues to be flu-like for those affected (as data is showing...mild symptoms lasting 3-5 days)...if the staff and faculty (who are at most risk, yet the best at mitigating risk) are thus far holding strong...if this pioneering experiment is helping to teach peer colleges what and what not to do...why are we not hoping and praying this attempt proves eventually successful?[/quote]

Pioneering experiment?????

Sorry but in the United States, human subjects who take part in medical experiments have to give consent. And they sign a form with the risks and benefits in advance, not a release saying they won't sue the experimenter.

ND did not give students an option about whether they wanted the learn from the safety of their homes or on campus.

Why should we have to "pray" that our kids survive the semester?

My niece has COVID right now. She has had about 8 symptoms, for more than a week: including fever (with no break), chest pain when she breathes, nausea, cough, sore throat, etc etc. So far she has felt WORSE each day.

Her medical care happens over the phone, to keep providers safe. If she was in college right now, there is NO way should could be learning/studying/doing assignments, etc.

You people just think you can wish this away with "hopes and prayers." Ignorance is bliss.
