They should keep students on campus and try to keep infection rate down; not send them home to infect the community[/quote]

You remember back in late February when that one hospital in Italy discovered they had a couple cases, so they evacuated the entire hospital instead of locking it down?  Remember how that literally destroyed their nation? That’s exactly what colleges are doing. [/quote]
Yes, they are. But, what else are they supposed to do? Do they have the facilities, hospitals to take care of the students? No. Did they make any field hospitals? No. So, what? Lock them up and see who survives? Make two daily phone calls to quarantined ill students? Who can't tell if they have no oxygen? While all of us at home are mature adults and know to go to the hospital and we all know that young adults have very little common sense or a sense of how bad things are? When our kids might need to be in a hospital but are scared and told to stay in, lest they infect someone? Is that the price you are ok to pay? Young people die from it too. I am sure that without meds and care some of them need, many more will die than would happen otherwise.
I will be taking my kid home if she falls sick. How callous can you get?[/quote]

Out of a few hundred college students with coronavirus, do you know how many would need to be hospitalized, based on a wealth of data? Less than one. So calm down. Field hospitals? If you are this anxious, not to memtion misinformed, you should have kept your kid home.[/quote]
