There are many schools that are quoted as "leaning" towards opening in for the Fall semester, including that school in Columbus.
If students are on campus, you can bet football will be played.

I have no idea how this can be done without a vaccine. Is Covid-19 just going to go away in four months? This looks a disaster because I doubt college students will social distance and wear a mask, let alone maintain good hygiene. Will faculty and staff be on board with this? I just don't understand why we as a society continue to rush opening up things without carefully thought out coordination across the country. Listen to science, not politicians or business leaders.
Here’s some science...

If I didn't know better, I'd swear that I wrote this.
Somebody better tell
Stanford that they've got a "headslappingly stupid, lost in the woods, strawman moron"
MD on their hands.
Heck, he even goes one better than me. Locking everyone down and practicing social distancing is prolonging the problem by preventing the herd immunity from kicking in.
As I am not one of those "I'm right, you're wrong/I'm smart, You're stupid" types that have been telling me there is NO WAY anything I'd been saying could be right, I'm not going to go around taking a victory lap and shoving it in people's faces.
Well...
maybe a little bit.
But what I actually felt while reading it was anger. This was ALL SO UNNECESSARY.
This was a knee jerk reaction based on "hypothetical" projections and it pi$$es me off 1) how quick and seemingly
eager the state government locked everything up, 2) how
grossly incompetent our health department is and 3) how
willing a vast portion of our population was to just sit back and let this happen.
As Ronald Reagan famously said, "
The scariest words in the english language are... I'm from the government, and I'm here to help."
