Young kids is completely different we aren't doing enough and there aren't a ton of other options but to open schools. But in person college for adults? not a necessity
I mean, they aren't going to expel the students from their university, but they are going to drop the pretense of in-person classes.
I think from this we could infer that they will take responsibility when they think it becomes clearer that students will not sufficiently comply with the public safety directives.
18-22 year old's in college are self-contained for the most part. They're around people their own age, not known for intermingling with senior citizens etc.
The people in your scenario that are most at risk are roaming the same area freely, so the solution is to ban the least at risk people?
The same people who are the least likely to follow the prohibition?
If you want to protect the most at-risk people and the only way to do it is to divide the high-risk & low-risk the far more logical route would to ban the high-risk people.
I know this because I have family in those facilities that I have not been able to see since this all started. We (low risk) have been banned from these facilities (high risk) for months now.
We are lucky in that we are still somewhat healthy in regards to my family near CU. Many other families in these facilities are not and have lost loved ones due to the pandemic. The bans are not working as well as hoped, especially since the start of the school year.
The decisions of the CU community in relation to the larger Boulder community are contentious at the moment. Many parts of the larger Boulder community do not appreciate CU's 'cavalier' policies.
Do waste management districts handle epidemiology issues in Utah?
To me this "adult" here reads like "old enough to be thrown under the bus"
