Really?? Knock it off! Keep your BS politics out of it.
No body has protection, if the antibodies disappear this fast.
Look at the number of sailors on the Roosevelt that are testing positive a second time.

Umm who gives a fvck?
For someone who doesn’t mind the policy, you sure are posting enough about it.
The group of people who led us to where we are politically, socially and culturally?
Four posts in this topic when I have my daughter impacted by it? Excuse me for caring. You have what, 10+ posts on this topic and no child at MU impacted by it.I don't mind the policy, but the holes in the logic justifying it are big. No one here has proven that not to be the case. If the school was seriously believing going home for four days at Thanksgiving is going to help then what are they doing to address the the kids coming to the school in August, in classrooms, going home for the weekends. The ultimate point is you can't do anything really short of a total lockdown, which I am against. I'm happy the school is starting this way, built up some immunity, stop quarantining healthy people, but the post Thanksgiving non-return is a mirage especially if the policymakers are ok with them coming back to campus in January and back again post Easter break. A number of inconsistencies.
TAMUI do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.
The group of people who saved this country and the world from NAZIsm and tyranny that came with it. That group. Yes, that group of people. That's the group of people I am talking about that put country first, enlisted. Correct. That is the group of people I am referencing. The greatest generation of Americans.
For the fifth time, it's about mitigating risk, not eliminating it all together. There are more choices then "Do nothing" and "Lock everything down"
Every generation has its high points and its low points. You have to take both the good and bad of every generation, to do otherwise is to be dishonest about its history. We do refer to it as the greatest generation but it is just a name. That generation is not any greater (or lesser) than any generation that came before it or after it.
Thank you Brother TAMU. You hit the nail right on the head. If we eliminate risk, we'll take away what it means to be human -- the social interaction with each other. That's not a world I want to live in. There's reasonable precautions we all should take but we need to get on with life. Embrace it! Life will then embrace you!
Agree on the intent or the PR front, but it is wildly inconsistent and lacks logic. It's a bandaid and a way to say we are doing something. There are no perfect solutions, and this one is as imperfect as any because it is so wildly at odds with how the school is accepting kids in August, January and Easter. If you are going to mitigate, why wouldn't you have mitigation plans for those instances which pose a far greater risk?
I support this view entirely. Embrace life, protect the vulnerable, but let's get back on our feet and stop being cowards about this. I find each passing day to be self defeatist. Let's get going, risk is impossible to remove and hunkering down is only kicking the can down the road. I'm glad MU is back in August, I wish they would do full, normal term. Let the social interaction start (it hasn't ended with the kids still up there anyway) and get rocking again.
I'm not sure if it is possible to disagree more with a message. Yes, there are good and bad with all generations, but there are absolutely some generations greater than others in totality. In 1941 we were not a wealthy nation still on the heels of the Great Depression, we had an army smaller than Portugal's, we are mostly farmers and in four years fought a war in Europe, Africa and Asia that cost 60,000,000 lives. People walked away from their jobs because it was the right thing to do. We built 120 Aircraft carriers in four years after struggling to pass a bill in 1939 for ONE. It was a generation that willed itself to victory despite enormous mistakes and defeats. Miscalculations were not blame-gamed or endlessly litigated. We don't think like that anymore and haven't since the 60's. Can Do attitude is replaced with how we cannot do it, won't do it, or shouldn't do it.I'm sorry, they are called the greatest generation for a reason and some generations are considerably greater than others. How often do we read here how the baby boomers suck and ruined it for everyone?
