[quote=Anonymous]Let her stay. She is an adult. I cannot imagine telling a person who is old enough to fight in war that I must watch over them during this crisis.

Many people all over this country have roommates and live in communal settings (apartment buildings). Be supportive and provide guidance. Imagine how you felt at that age and imagine how you would react if your parents tried to control your life. I would rebel. I'd rather be supportive.

Our response is only adding to the anxiety these young adults are already experiencing. It's important to communicate to them the reasons for these "lockdowns"....to not overload the health care system. We should also make sure they all understand that a national emergency is declared to free up funds. Unfortunately, the media is making it seems that we are all going to die. Yes, some will. Even some healthy people. We put ourselves at risk on a daily basis. Driving on 495, for example.

I fully support my child's decision to stay in her off campus house with her roommates. I also am sure to communicate the reasons for our societal measures. Let's stop the panic, treat this as a health crisis, and do our part to keep everyone safe. [/quote]
