On one hand, I'm worried about what happens when the football season is cancelled/postponed and/or it's announced that classes will be moved online. I would imagine without any more stimulus, many restaurants and small businesses that cater to students and visitors associated with the college will have to close up shop.

On the other hand, I'm worried about the town's ability to keep up with their COVID procedures given a ~20,000 person influx into town when school opens. What do the grocery stores look like? What do the downtown bars and restaurants look like? While many people feel confident that college students, on the whole, won't get severely sick from COVID, but some will. And those who get COVID and don't get very sick may spread it to people who work in those support businesses. How will the hospital handle that influx of cases?

Never going to happen but if I had a magic wand...all students and staff do a strict self quarantine at home for two weeks before returning to Harrisonburg.
