My intent was not to complain that teachers have it hard. My intent was to answer the original question regarding what is likely to happen this school year. I think many colleges will end up returning to online teaching by mid-semester. This will affect the economy in ways many people haven’t considered. In the town where my university is located, the school is by far the biggest employer, and many of those employees are local people.

I think that the colleges should reopen their campuses. Period. All of this strange, and quite frankly UNscientific freaking out over this thing is disturbing - especially in higher learning. If someone needs to avoid human contact then they can distance learn.
