[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am not mad at colleges or college students or professors or local school districts or teachers.

I am LIVID with the federal government and some of the states.

"Flattening the curve" was never going to be enough. We had to do it to buy time to get mass-scale testing capacity up and running. More than 4 months later, only 7 states in the US (including DC) have as much testing available as they need.

If there was enough testing that ALL students and faculty and staff could be tested 2-3 times a week we could get back to more normal life until there is a vaccine or treatments available.

Not all, but many Americans did hold up their end of the deal. The federal government has been a massive failure and now everyone is dealing with the consequences of this. [/quote]

In my state in the Northeast, which has been doing well by US standards, testing turnaround is now increasing to over a week due to backlogs created by other states - so much so that I doubt testing and tracing college students will work. Thank Trump, Florida, Arizona etc if colleges end up online only.[/quote]
