Harvard sucks but they're going to save more lives than anybody else by the time this ends.

They killed off the NC$$ death wish last year when they shut down athletics, starting the dominos that ended with the entire NC$$ being forced to do the right thing.

Welp, they just went to all online for 20-21. Presumably this means no athletics, which ought to shut down 20-21.

tl; dr: F-ck Harvard except this once. Good for them.

Meanwhile, my school (I attend, wife teaches) is back to normal in the fall. Good for us.

I'm sorry for your loss, in advance.

What's 40% of Harvard's undergrad enrollment? So they'll have a couple thousand students on campus?
3/8/96

She gets a face shield. I get to see how much weight I can throw around in law school and insist on being more online because I have a clerkship lined up after next year.

I suppose we'll see if/when they pull the plug after covid starts spreading. I've yet to see a single mask in northwest Iowa.

These kids are at zero risk from this virus. Why are we trying to ruin their lives exactly?

Look at any chart showing death by age range?  Unless Cuomo is running the campus and stuffing them in nursing homes that is.

Opinions vary.  Yours doesn't seem to carry much weight outside of talk radio.

There's evidence that mild and even asymptomatic cases can result in lasting lung and organ damage.

Faculty and staff aren't young. If you think people 25 and under are at zero risk, can you guarantee that all faculty and staff will be 25 and under?

How the hell would we keep Schafer safe?

Case counts are irrelevant if it doesn't lead to hospitalizations. Better to have these kids with each other on campus then staying w their older parents and family members.

How do you figure they're irrelevant?

And more importantly, faculty and staff are older and exposed, constantly, to undergrads.

We are dealing with ideology, not thinking.  Let it be.  #nopolitics  

We don't need to discover who's a moron when all we care about is who hates Harvard sufficiently.

Is now the right time to admit I hate Dartmouth more than Harvard?

Dartmouth is all my fault.  Cornell is something like 25-5-5 in Dartmouth games I have seen.  I just stopped going.

Edit: 27-7-1.
