Covid-19 Hits Close to Home

Just got an email from my university in Kentucky that classes for next week are canceled, and that all classes are moved online until at least April 3rd, at which time they will have made a decision on what to do the rest of the semester. They are also asking that all students move out of the dorms for now unless they do not have any other housing options. It's pretty difficult to get the full college experience and proper education from certain classes like Criminological Theory, when some are extremely complex and require class discussion and asking questions. They have said they really want to finish this semester and not hold students back. This comes just a couple days since Berea College canceled the semester, citing that too many students that attend there are too poor to have internet at home to just move the remainder of classes online. That would really suck.

Pretty stupid to make young people do that. So far the virus doesn’t effect them nearly as much.

It isn't just about the people getting sick... Jesus. Just because someone doesn't get mortally ill doesn't mean they can't be a carrier of the active virus and pass it on to others who may be very susceptible to it. That's why it is called a pandemic.

Yes, I know they can spread it, the point is they won’t get sick. So why send them all home? The people that are “very susceptible” are the ones that need to stay home.

You just answered it... they can spread it. Do you understand the concept of how a virus can spread, and how it is the duty of everyone to be responsible to prevent the spread. It's not a complicated concept. You already know the bones of it, but it appears you don't care if your actions could get someone else sick, as long as you don't get sick yourself.
