@DanJ posted:I'd argue that any "plan" that doesn't account for behaviors inherent to the college age group, is not a plan. Hope is not a strategy. I'd say the same thing for any national plan. If your plan requires 90-95-100% adherence of 328 million people, you need to head back to the drawing board. Same thing for adherence of 20,000 college students. It's either that or adjust your desired outcome. I think we should spend more time talking about what CAN be accomplished versus what we WISH could be accomplished.
100% agree with this post. Now I am hoping that Notre Dame sticks with their two week online only plan just announced - I do assume this was part of their plan if there was more than expected noncompliance. If they end up sending kids home I am afraid that spring will be canceled too. The only thing that could save spring if colleges bail on fall now would be a vaccine that could occur in a few months but then needs mass production. The Notre Dame issue (as Ripken Fan points out) seems to be linked to an off campus party. I think the kids who threw it and those that went should be restricted from campus and be online for the balance of the year (or semester).
