[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are right. People in public health do tend to put the public's health before other factors: such as the economy.

I think that if you have to prioritize (vs "balance"), they have the equation right. Again, it is about values. [/quote]

Yep, and we will not have an economic recovery until people feel comfortable going out without being afraid that they're going to get Covid.[/quote]

And one piece in that is not allowing covid to spread uncontrollably in congregate settings like colleges and universities--where young people have active lives and are often asymptomatic and thus spread.  Not to say they can't 100% open--I agree it's a balance-- but they have to manage it really, really well for it not to have lots of bad repercussions beyond the university.

Personally, I wish all the universities just decided to have 100% virtual for one semester AND the country simultaneously did a short but hard shut-down while we figured out a testing/contract tracing/quarantine system akin to the rest of our economic peers in the world-- That might finally get us closer to normal life.  Instead we're just dragging it all out with lots of half-a**ed measures  in hopes that a vaccine will save us before the economy, our mental health and civic life completely collapses.  [/quote]
