“If these steps are not successful, we will have to send students home, as we did last spring,” Notre Dame’s president, the Rev. John I. Jenkins, said in a video address to students, noting that he had been inclined to take that step before consulting with health officials.
I just dropped my daughter off at UMICH. She knows what to do after months of confinement in NY. But after months of separation from her friends, I just think normal social interactions will take hold and spread is inevitable. She's smart, her friends are smart, but they rather be social then isolated and miserable.
Add packs of students (mostly male BTW) roaming maskless and throw in a Buffalo Wild Wings and you just accelerate the whole process.
Many talking heads on TV talk about one size does not fit all for reopening. I think they are so wrong. The one commonality which overrules all others is young people behavior. One size will fit all. People are just suspending disbelief and not addressing the issue.
