Aren't they the smart ones? Shouldn't they understand what is being asked? How come college kids partying and other people protesting seem to get a pass?
They understand and are telling you to go to hell, they want to be kids. I'm no longer a kid by any means, and I'm telling you to go to hell as well.
From initial reports, Covid has residual effects for some. Associated with blood clots in various organs, IIRC. The long-term symptoms have been reported even by people who did not experience significant Covid symptoms.
It seems foolish to risk so much over one year.
Surely, by this time next fall, there will be a vaccination. Even if hasn't been rolled out to everyone, students would have access.
It's a nanny stater's paradise - being able to dictate the lives of other people based on whatever formula they want to concoct, no matter how ridiculous.
I told my alma mater that until they reopen and commit to not shutting down again, they will never see another dime of money from me. These universities are defunding themselves, just like public education, professional sports, and large urban hellholes/cities. They are beyond stupid, but that's what happens when people who know nothing are in charge of things.
Your description of a “nanny stater paradise” is the best description of this corona panic I have heard yet. We have handed the keys of the country to the most hand wringing worry wart types who would micromanage our lives to indulge their worries and insecurities. I hate them...I hate what they are trying to do. I hate the socialist agenda behind it all as that is what it is REALLY all about anyway.
This is all way too easy for them. In ANY institution or business people will get sick. Once you contact trace the sick and isolated everyone they deem a risk you have successfully crippled that institution or business. Within a month or two the increased testing and contact tracing will have effected a de facto shutdown of America.
How do we fight this?
1. Make note of every rhino republican governor who indulges these people. Primary them and remove them from office next election cycle.
2. Create list of corona paranoid business and corporations and stop doing business with them. Those most paranoid will likely line up with the left wing social causes we are fighting against anyway. Coronavirus panickers are ALWAYS associated with leftism in some way. Stop supporting the enemy.
3. Have friends and family who drank the coronavirus kool aid? Pull back and distance yourself from their anti American toxic values. It’s time these coronavirus panic folks start paying a social price for their destructive views and beliefs. Let them hang out with ANTIFA, conservatives don’t need to waste their time associating with those who hate the country.
It’s time we start borrowing the lefts tactics. We need to “cancel” these nanny staters from our lives.
The UNC students were on the news acting like wild animals. Not sure why they're so uncivilized and disobedient but if UNC felt that is the only way to stop the spread, then, so be it. People need to obey rules.
Most college courses consist of listening to a talk, reading information, writing papers (sometimes with a group), and taking exams.
Perhaps over the course of a semester, a student will ask several questions in class, perhaps have a meeting or two with the professor.
None of this really requires gathering inside with others.
Another feature of the coronavirus panic....the advance of the online world. Online shopping, online school, online work. None of this is good for society. We already have an entire generation of digital zombies who don’t know how to live in the real world and now we are encouraging more of it? Insanity
The best thing that could happen is a solar flare fries all this digital technology and we all have to go back to living in the real world again. These digital devices are poisoning the minds of our youth.
I saw those young fools partying like there is no tomorrow. What are they thinking? They are our future? Are they all right wing Trump voters, because that is who everyone blames without any acknowledgement about the young fools.
No, they are not. Most of them just moved in. And I don’t ever see them without masks on. I have 2 of them as neighbors, they are very well indoctrinated. Heard one talking on her phone as she was coming up the stairs. Talking about climate change. It took all my will not to roll my eyes at her.
I think they were positive before they moved in during the last week and a half.

I actually agree with you. Same for a lot of office jobs.
