To do what? Sit at home with Mommy and Daddy? What a waste. Everyone else will be passing a year of online or in person college. There is nothing to do during a gap year but be depressed.

What is going on in Clemson?



Clemson does not appear right now to have a clear plan of when they are going back or what they are doing.

I think almost any college town may become a hot spot after the students from all over the country reassemble.

Rented our DD an apartment in Evanston IL. Feeling pretty panicked about the whole thing as she has asthma.

She is going to live in Arizona right now?

That seems ... unwise.

With over 32,000 covid deaths in NY state I would consider that more "out of control state" then SC with 984 or TX with 3322 or FL with 4409


What? How does the fact that there were a ton of cases in NY several months ago have anything to do with whether it is out of control now? There are very few cases, hospitalizations and/or deaths in NY right now.


The prior poster clearly does not understand the dynamics of infectious disease outbreaks.

It is about the shape of the curve. A sharp SPIKE = very bad

My 19 year old is staying right here working full time, maybe he will take an on-line class or two. No rush, he has his own timeline, which is fine by us.

Focus on the evidence, not hot air.
