This is a mistake.
By the end of the month, cases will be trending downward at the open colleges and most will be in good shape by November
No matter what, colleges will have an uptick of cases when they open, it's inevitable.

Absolutely agree. Why is no one talking about this? Once a school gets this number of cases, the best thing to do is leave everyone there and let it run its course. In a month, they'll have herd immunity, no one will die or even get that sick, and they'll be back in class. Until then, just do online learning. Send kids with immune deficiency and who are obese home. By sending everyone home now, you're re-seeding the virus back in small communities. This is literally the worst thing you could do. We'll now have another "wave" in NOVA due to returning JMU kids, which actually *will* kill people.[/quote]

Sigh. Herd immunity? Do you even know what it means?. Who knows who has "immune deficiency", whatever that is?  Who is this poster who KNOWS the numbers will go down by the end of the month?

Also, just so you know, kids who went to campus have been leaving in large numbers all over the country.  Schools who move students into quarantine can't force them to stay. At my kid's large state u, being quarantined is being compared to being in prison and many of those kids are electing to go home.  It is true, they aren't all positive for the virus but they are more likely to be and they are on the road, on planes, on buses etc.[/quote]
