makes sense to be MUCH more careful right now...that's what this is all about...having grandkids that age I know what the parents are concerned with...#1...their health...all other issues are a distant second...we all wish that this variant hadn't shown up...we were on our way to getting high 2-shot full vaccination rates...but, no such luck...so, like smart adults, we adjust appropriately...at least most of us.
Back to the universities...as I said earlier...students an parents pay "Big Bucks" to have 'In-Person' learning at away-from-home institutions...to do that, certain restrictions are needed, so what we're seeing right now is what's necessary to maintain that environment...IMO an 'Over-Reaction' on the part of the original poster, and his cited author.
Any thoughts?
