No shock whatsoever. Students are out in force at local eateries. Parties near campus. Send them home, they are going to do the same back in their hometown.

I do not understand why anyone could think that society could isolate for a prolonged period. It isn’t in our nature, especially young people. That is just the reality of it.

We will deal with the virus the best we can and hope the strain continues to weaken.

Agree. If we can keep the beds open we should just allow it to run it’s course UNLESS staff/faculty have a major outbreak from the students. That will change things

I think you missed my point eight...
I was saying if you don’t trust the elected officials with the power don’t elect them. The CEO’s of the tech companies are doing there jobs. They created a possible solution to slowing the rona.

the job of tech ceo's are to design devices that listen in on us, track our location, keep track of our personal information, use it for their purposes, sell it to whomever, and use it to manipulate our choices ranging from which soap to buy to who to vote for in elections?

wow you must wake up with a cold sweat every time a helicopter flies over your house!

It’s interesting that some that preach to us that we are in fear porn about the virus are the ones who actually hide under rocks when a helicopter flies over the house. God forbid Gates pushes out a Windows 10 update.

apple didn't apologize for employees listening i guess then, google and others don't data harvest, and search engines don't tailor results, ads, and news stories to prior history

Not at all surprising to me that you're worried about the [ #2020 ] you shouldn't be and not worried about the [ #2020 ] you should be.

I would propose that the main issue isn't that a bunch of young people who are less at risk are contracting the virus at a high rate. It's that these same people that likely aren't exercising safe precautions to contract it so fast (house parties, Greek gatherings...no masks) are also moving throughout the city of Fort Worth spreading the virus to people who are at risk when the cases were starting to move in the right direction.

I'm perfectly fine with them going online...for my elderly parents sake.

Trying to remember the last time a helicopter flew over my house. If it happened with any regularity I would probably be a bit concerned.

I figured there were a lot of people with elderly relatives. My bad.

What do the elderly want? Do we even care what they think?

I have two elderly parents, one who would definitely be considered high risk, and they are so done with this. Have been since day 1. They have friends in care facilities that haven't been able to see family much at all for 6 months and who are miserable. It's sad. Does anyone really care what they think?
