"Faculty were already feeling anxious about the upcoming fall semester, GPB News was told, but a recent decision by the Board of Regents and state university system to not require students wear masks in classrooms sent faculty over the edge."

Allowing a gathering of 10+ people in an enclosed space without a mask sounds like a terrible idea.

It's been going on all around this country for over a month now. I think it's safe to say this thing was an gorse overreaction and it's on its way out. Let's stop the mass hysteria
