[QUOTE="jacket_fan, post: 729284, member: 3527"] I was getting fed up with just getting my news from the AJC and the Wall Street Journal. And am trying to come up with my own view of covid. I looked at the data from the Georgia Department of Health. The number of cases remained in a range until after June 1st. The number of cases increased dramatically in the 18-29 age group (eg. protests). The bar graph on the site is dramatic. If I read the data correctly, the death rate has not followed the trend of increased cases. Some good news during all the bad. I still see this as politics and each side playing games with the country, the economy and yes, football. Some experts claim the resolution is herd immunity or a vaccine, which is what other viruses have been in the past. We are a long way from a vaccine and I have no clue where we stand on reaching heard immunity. I have not talked to college professors, but I have discussed this with elementary through high school teachers, and no matter on which side of the political spectrum they are, they believe the kids need to be back in school. College may be different. My son finished his college career last semester at "Southern Tech" and was happy to spend the last half of his senior year at home, until finding a job smacked him in the face. Then the covid was not so much fun. (And he worked a job where he dealt with the public in retail sales and dealt with covid every day) As far as students taking remote classes, how do they do labs? I know my physics lab required a laser... I do not see how remote learning would be acceptable with a class that requires a lab. But, hey, I'm old school. I am in the minority here but let's get the kids back to school. The kids that need to be in school are the ones that are under served and likely from single parent families that can ill afford to try and juggle work and children at home. I really feel for those struggling to balance work and home life with all that is going on. And from the data I looked at the risk to healthy kids is very low. And that includes college age kids. I have accepted there will be no games this season. There is just too much momentum. Does not mean I have to like or agree with it. [/QUOTE]
