I agree with much of what you are saying but I guess I just took it differently. I just got off the phone with my own kid - she's been on campus for a month, working out in her pod and waiting to start full team workouts. Today she spoke with some football players in the weight room. It's complex and there is grieving and stress, no doubt. And that will trickle down. But as
@Simisoccerfan, it is not a usual period (I know you - and everyone else - know that, too). I struggle most in the absence of information so these next weeks and possibly (likely?) months waiting for this to get settled, and knowing that it can all change again if, come January, rapid tests have not be broadly deployed, we are still saying, "what's the plan for tracing?", there are few proven therapeutics, etc., makes it all the more difficult. I am sorry for the stress that all the young people - and their parents -are feeling. It really, really sucks. Stay safe, everyone. And as is often said in jest but I am saying w/sincerity, make good choices (whatever they might be).
