[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have to believe that by the fall, this country will come to its senses. Hopefully the federal government takes some command of the situation and enough governors get on board to create social distancing that involves primarily isolation the sick and vulnerable communities so the rest of us can get on with life and our children in particular don't continue suffer the gravest consequences. Colleges should open and run almost as normal--with at risk students, faculty, and staff, taking the precautions they need to--and when they do, yes, my student will be back.[/quote]

How do you propose they isolate these vulnerable people which number 30-50% of the population? Many are children, teens, and adults of every age. I have 4 kids under 14 -youngest is 7 and I am very high risk for complications from Covid.  [/quote]

If you are "very high risk," as you say, then yes, you would be among those who would need to be at a higher level of social distancing, perhaps even a stay at home situation and it would be up to you how you would want to do that to what extent it would involve keeping your children at home. Why should 75% of this country and almost 100% of teenagers be forced to miss out on a year or more of their life for the other 35%? When they 35% can be kept safe?[/quote]
