No. Some areas will roll back into stricter regulations. Higher ed and sports still look iffy
I question our leadership through the pandemic. History will not be kind to this group of wise American elders.
The "screw it, I got mine" generation.
“Before I leave I’d like to see our politics begin to return to the purposes and practices that distinguish our history from the history of other nations,
“I would like to see us recover our sense that we are more alike than different. We are citizens of a republic made of shared ideals forged in a new world to replace the tribal enmities that tormented the old one. Even in times of political turmoil such as these, we share that awesome heritage and the responsibility to embrace it.”
-Patriot and Senator. John McCain
The “surge” isn’t producing a corresponding surge in deaths and hospitalizations.

Well, we opened up the country again because we needed to. I had no problem with that.
But we need to do so in a way that protects us the best way we know. That's everybody wearing a mask. We can do this and still not bankrupt the nation.

As far as deaths are concerned, we're seeing a "surge" only in isolated areas. Unfortunately, it's still high.
Here's what we should be seeing, and what we're actually seeing. Please, wear a mask.

Thats exactly right. It can be easy enough.
But when not wearing a mask or taking the virus serious is portrayed as proudly exercising your right as an American by our nations leader; and most of his followers consider the absence of a mask a badge of constitutional honor, how can we expect do this?
And I am certainly aware that the willingness to politicize the pandemic at the expense of our citizens is not only limited to hard core conservatives.

At this point, I don’t trust the average schmo to be wearing a mask. I must wear one for my own damn health, and avoid everyone not in one........
Isn’t everyone going to get this in the next five years or does a vaccine cure this better than the normal flu. I was kind of thinking it would be good to see the case numbers go up during the summer so that it doesn’t overwhelm the hospitals this fall, wasn’t that the original plan?
Go Cats!
Pandemics traditionally die out through infection, this one will be no different.
I sm not sure the herd affect will work out with this virus. The antibodies that are present in people that have been afflicted with the virus and recover are not lasting more than a couple months. That is not typical of viruses we are used to seeing.

U really think players are going to duke without being paid over Kentucky?--Gilbert Arenas, 9/12/19
doing so put high salaried university administrators jobs at risk. They have no desire to lower the costs of education by doing things like this. They want students ON CAMPUS as that leads to more $$$ in the coffers of the schools to be distributed to the faculty.
Aging is an extraordinary process where you become the person you always should have been.--David Bowie.
Not at all for us. Our cost is about as cheap as it gets. Our issue is being able to find quality faculty willing to teach for our pay. We depend on numerous adjuncts. In our tech programs, we can often find people to teach the labs, but not qualified for the lectures. We also do not have housing for students. But yes, most 4 years and bigger 2 years want students on campus because they make a fortune off of housing and food services.
We really need to drain the swamp in KCTCS...Our system office has the over paid administrators.
