Have any of the measures on college campuses kept college kids from getting covid or spreading it to non college kids? Are there any studies showing that kids on college campuses have been more of a source of spread than any other group? Genuinely curious, because frankly if I were a student, or a parent paying for a student, I believe I would choose to just stay home rather than going through some of the things they've had to go through.
My college kid spread it to me, my wife, and daughter.
But he caught it at a wedding (for his college roommate) in eastern NC over NYE, not at his college house. Though his 3 other roommates were there, and they all got it too...lol. The only one who didn't was the groom, fortunately, since he went away to Mexico on a honeymoon.
In otherwords, living life. I have no concerns about how / what he was doing or that he gave it to us. We should be able to do life things. We all got vaccinated to give us comfort that we coudl do so safely. Is there a risk...sure. Might we need to do things to manage it (boosters, etc)...maybe, but lets just do life now.
I also would say though, he's not had to "go through some things".....he's had it pretty good thru college, I mean, he may have worn a mask, or missed a few home FB gams last year, but its not like he's had to go fight with troops in Iraq or something either, and best I can tell, he and his buddies have lived a pretty normal routine of college life with lots of social fun.
