[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Then your daughter won’t pass the class. Tell her to put a mask on and go to the class. An adult wearing a mask for two hours is no big deal.[/quote]

Lol OP is probably one of those people who complains about millenials and doesn't realize that she's raising a young adult who is part of a generation even worse than millenials.  [/quote]

DP. All this personal bashing of OP is nasty and completely useless. You are not here to offer any actual ideas like some PPs but to snark at OP for being worried about her daughter. You seem very quick to assume that all the DD has to do is wear a mask and it'll be fine. You're naïve or ignorant or both.

You all focused hard on the mask comment and yes, it's entirely possible to wear a mask for hours on end and that shouldn't be the real concern.

But I think OP is right to be worried about a class that meets several times each week. OP and DD don't know for sure how crowded the classroom actually will be (let's face it, six-foot distancing on ALL sides is already not happening and will fall apart quickly in many classrooms). They don't know that any of the other students will take masking seriously or will go around with symptoms like many young adults have done (ask Florida and the beach communities in VA how that's working out right now). The professor sounds arrogant and there's no knowing if the professor will bother to enforce mask wearing in the room or just let it slide. And the DD lives AT HOME so is going back and forth possibly from this classroom to a household with others in it whom she might expose to the virus if the class is poorly managed and there's no real distancing or masking except for the DD's own mask.

Right now, wearing your own one mask in a situation isn't always enough. The idea is that masks work if we ALL wear them especially indoors EVERY time, and do so while six feet apart--at least. Sure, the DD can wear a mask for 2 hours at a time. But leaping on that as the sole issue for the DD and the OP is just ignorant. OP is right to be concerned. [/quote]
