@anotherparent posted:I do think that by the time that college classes start, many students will have been exposed to the virus already. That makes it harder to take that some schools aren't bringing back all (or any) of their students.
I think "many" is likely to be a large absolute number, but a small fraction. (I'd guess less than 10%). There are roughly 19.9 million college students in the US.
U Washington had an outbreak of 121 cases last week, traced mostly to fraternities. The U of Southern California just cut back on plans for in-person classes. I think a lot of schools are watching the news and stats nervously right now.
I still expect both my kids to go to their respective colleges in August. Gotta admit, I also expect to see at least one of them home before Thanksgiving because their schools have decided to go back to all-remote.
