Either that or it's about the most litigious parents on any campus. https://www.rochester.edu/ Check out the website. You can find plenty of reasons they won't give this up anytime soon. 1 Link to comment

I mean, I get it and I would wear one in class if I was in college and I had to...I that would be it. Just in class. And at theme parties. This is off topic but your theme parties comment reminded me. Were the SAEs (or sig eps or sigma nu’s can’t remember) still doing their annual Klondike party when you were there? That was always a good one. Link to comment

I know parents have asked what are the parameters of dropping it. My son has worm a mask his entire college career. They have to be vaccinated and boosted to be on campus. Everybody. The masks have to be an N95. I’d be strongly considering a new college. That’s BS. 1 Link to comment

If my friends were there, and I wanted to finish a program there, and it was geographically convenient there, if it was affordable there, if my job was there, etc… Id probably just continue to wear a mask when asked to stay there. People act like wearing a mask is more of an inconvenience than losing any of the things posted above. What a bunch of drama queens, Covid or not. Im much more uncomfortable in a necktie than a mask, but if wearing one on campus during my time at UNK was required, I would have not once thought about transferring. 5 Link to comment
NM11046 Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 I just had a thought, regarding covid and masks and treatments that are efficatious, risk etc. Most here are football fans right? If you need to score you look at your RBs and WRs, your QB ... you can plug in a defensive lineman, he knows what needs to be done, and physicialy he can do it - he's been at practice but he hasn't run the plays, he's slower and more clumbsy with a ball and his expertise is really in another vein of fb. He could score, but he isn't the one you'd look to our depend on, especially when it counts. Why folks are listening to chiropractors, MRI specialists (Dr Scott Atlas), cardiothorasic surgeons (Dr. Oz). OB (Roger Marshall), and folks who have earned their doctorates in completely non-medical fields is just mindblowingly simplistic and dangerous. Those that are listening to people like Joe Rogan (a shock jock with zero medical training) and others just proves how absolutely stupid americans are. 3 1 Link to comment

Wearing a mask at work is one thing. Wearing a mask everywhere you go for a full day is another. Any time he is indoor, outside of his dorm room he has to wear a mask. Practice, working out in the weight room, class, dining hall. Library, everywhere. They don't have to wear a mask anywhere else in the Rochester area. It wouldn't surprise me if they tell them to limit their time off campus. They did last year. The school is highly ranked as is his engineering program. That is why he is here. He did have friends transfer at semester when they went remote. 3 Link to comment

The masking mandates suck but it most likely isn’t a reason for leaving a school unless you have no other reason to stay. We’ll b!^@h about it. But when rubber meets the road rational people will just realize it is what it is, and press on. 3 Link to comment

I didn’t really understand any of this covid stuff until you broke it down for me in football terms. I also understand beer drinking and deer hunting, so feel free to use analogies with those in the future as well. 2 Link to comment

I sense a little sarcasm here which is fine - but it just hit me that the way we communicate facts needs to be based on the audience. Talking in scientific terms only gives folks a reason to stop listening because they think it's overly complicated. I just can't get my head around people listening to random folks' opinions on things as specialized as an infectious disease. 1 1 Link to comment
