[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the student is asymptomatic or presymptomatic and they are wearing a mask, and everyone they come in contact with, at least in class, the spread will be minimal to none. College kids can wipe their desks down. I think we are expecting too little of them.

The dorms will certainly be a challenge, but the in- class time should be safe.

Essential workers have been in contact with asymptomatic, presymptomatic and symptomatic folks since this started. Masks work. They can do this.[/quote]
But so much of a college kid’s life is outside of class. They’re only in class like 15 hours a week! Do you really see 18 year olds wearing masks to a frat party? [/quote]

This. Students do more than just go to class. It doesn’t matter if they’re wearing masks in class. A contact tracer is still going to identify everyone on that class as someone who was potentially exposed, and direct them to get tested and quarantine until results are back. It’s going to be a mess. [/quote]

Adolescents will, overwhelmingly, be fine. The students need to keep the faculty and university staff safe. They can do that. They can also learn to wear masks. They really can. [/quote]
