This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Post being replied to

let's not lose sight of the big picture (honestly) by jt

1) 18-22 year old people can certainly transmit the disease.

2) 18-22 year olds won't be the only ones on campus

3) Even if you don't die from it, I don't think that it's a walk in the park by any means for many people, regardless of age.

4) There are certainly people over the age of 22 (many of whom that are considered high risk) that will be around the students/athletes.


We owe it to everyone to be as safe as possible. We owe it to everyone to take all necessary precautions, to continue to study the virus, and to also try and return to normal while still maintaining safety.
