So what's the solution? We can't just keep everything shutdown.


Exactly!
They can't seem to understand that.

It sucks.
Opening up will cost lives. Hopefully, we can mitigate by sheltering vulnerable ppl.
Shutting down just shifts many infections from ppl in robust health to those in shitty health. Results in more deaths.
It's a good thing healthy, college aged kids getting infected. Pushed us towards an immune population.

While nobody in this thread has suggested shutting down, most in this thread bitch about the potential.

Most in this thread also say that they won't follow social distancing recommendations.

Odd group here.

Do some research on the Spanish Flu of 1918.

This is what I’m saying do you think they will let 1000 college kids live in the same area. The dining halls all eating and drinking in the same place. No way they let that happen.

Once again stop living in fear and giving this virus more power than it deserves.

I don’t think your child is cut out for college if this is your thought.

Can’t imagine the retarded household this poor child has been raised in.

I'm thinking lots of older, unhealthy college professors, and high school teachers, along with some coaches at every level, may take early retirement around the world.

Heard Overpass Merchant temporarily closed because it's employees got exposed.


Could just be a rumor.


But get ready to go back to phase 1.


Bars about to get shut down again.


ETA: can anybody confirm about merchant?

No, they will not. They will move to an on-line format with the option to attend in-person as long as the infection rate is manageable. The students will determine if its manageable or not.

I'm going to be downvoted like crazy by those who don't care, don't understand, and don't make the decision.

That’s where personal responsibility comes in - you can stay home


Simple to say and that’s what happens in most cases.

But... My daughter lives with 3 other girls. They have boyfriends. They go out in Tigerland.
My daughter and her friends went to JL’s last weekend. People crowding each other and no limit on patrons. Some of the girls went in. Thankfully my daughter left and went back home. Actually surprised me.

A Few days later, several of her friends test positive including one of her room mates. Great.

Now she has to move out because her room mate didn’t care about all these “guidelines” and went to Freds and RL’s with no regard. In their defense, they’re not being restricted because the bars aren’t obiding by the guidelines. Still though, everyone knows the common sense guidelines and, as you’ve acknowledged, we all have to take responsibility for our own actions. But they aren’t.

So Now bars are closing up.

Hope you’re liking all that freedom

lsu has actually released information on the class-dining-and dorm situation already...

they have given this a lot of thought and have differents paths to respond to various situations...

if you really are interested and not aware just do some internet searches...

Why are you worried about your college aged daughter getting the Rona? There's almost a 100% she'll be fine. This will still be around in 6 months btw. What are we going to do then? Keep everything shut down indefinitely? It's here and we have to go on with our lives. Yes some people will die but most won't.

I'm aware of what many universities are planning and most, nationally, are planning a mixture of on-line and optional in-person classes. In almost every case, the choice is voluntary

Every school that I'm aware of has in-person classes dependant on infection rate. I am not aware of any school that has not included the infection rate as a determinating factor.

yeah... that is pretty much it...flexibility will be key...
i hear not all eating facilities will be open and the ones that are will be set up like public places with distancing practices and staggered time allocations.. i hear one person a room form dorms....idk....

and you know all efforts will go out the window and there will be "covid parties" like op said...

sucks but they will be part of history.....
