I am a healthcare professional. My son is returning to campus in the fall. Life has to go on in some modified way. I see so much anxiety, depression and hopelessness in people. Our daily lives are filled with risks.
We have to make good choices and be as safe as possible in all we do - wear masks, wash hands, sanitize. But locking ourselves up forever takes away the things that make life worth living- family, friends . There will be other viruses after COVID. We can’t just live out the rest of our lives in fear and isolation. College is an exciting important part of life and no- these students will not have another opportunity in the future. OSU has to try to move them forward. If it looks bad, then we shut down.
I worry about my children every minute of the day and pray for their well being. . Before COVID and after... That will never change.
