Duh! Universities and Colleges Should Not Reopen

I don't want to say, "I told you so!"

But "I told you so!"

See my blog post from the end of June ...  COVID-19: Universities Should Not Reopen in the Fall.

Given what we are seeing across the United States, I do not understand how these institutions of higher learning are not as smart/informed as an emergency management blogger with a BA degree. 

Notre Dame was in the news this morning ... for having a surge in cases tied to house parties. Really ... who would have thought that college students would not socialize -- off campus!

My projection is that colleges trying to reopen for in-class instruction will be shutting down rapidly only weeks from their opening date. Let's see it for what it is, this age group feeds super spreader events.
