  1. Do you think we are ever going to get rid of it? I think it is always going to be in the community now, like flu is. Maybe at a lower, background level, but always there, we’re going to have to learn a new way of social interaction that sees fewer people together and less physical contact.
    Imagine when uni’s start – fresher flu and mono are bad enough when new cohorts get together, now you’re going to have to add Covid into that risk factor too.
    Also, this is the first infection so far that has made an impact in the west. Africa has dealt with Ebola, Asia has had SARS. This is only the first virus to hit us, it won’t be the last. We need a sea change, a new normal.

    1. When we get vaccines & broad immunity it will be more like the flu.

      Right now, it’s nothing like the flu.

    2. It’s nothing like the flu, nor will it ever be. I suggest you research why the flu is the way it is and how different the novel coronavirus is so you will understand.

  2. Ewww I lived in a dorm for years. One person gets sick, and the entire dorm is infected. Hard pass bud

  3. how will liberal college professors indoctrinate and corrupt the youth if all the universities remain closed?

    1. Smh…. You inbred maga mutants are something else. You sound like you’re describing church.

  4. Wrong …..these do called experts dont know there guessing …..
    Stop using every excuse you got to win a election…..

    1. Another STUPID trump supporter. Just look at the incorrect grammar and spelling in your post. Typical trump supporter with barely a high school education if that! YEEE HAWW

    2. Your right High School education….. worked hard in the Paper Industry now I’m retired at 57 living in HB California …..
      YEE HAWW …. You ?

  5. I hated school & most of my teachers except for Mrs. Smith whose pet student I fondly was. I was hot for teacher & she instilled in me a love for L’ amour, literature & knowledge & most of what I know has been self taught & from experience.

  6. I’m pretty sure I could find something for the Assistant Secretary to the Assistant Secretary’s Assistant Secretaries to do !!
    Like clean out all those NCAA VIOLATIONS for starters !!
    Maybe even check out those Grant bequest !!

  7. I’ve already heard rumblings from a few local colleges that they’ll be completely online next semester.

  8. i need to go to my school to perform music … i almost graduated … this is bull sht … cancel student debt then !!!
