    You post this as if it were something bad. I guess you did not attend college or you do not have children.

    I'd be glad the college is putting the health and safety of young people first.

    Well that explains his weird left field attacks about when people can and can't put alcohol or medicine in their bodies. He should do Middle America a favor and not promote having more idiots born just because Matty wanna get wasted with his no-fun preggo wife.

    The line in your op/ed boils down to this: COVID denialism at this point in the pandemic is a luxury, plain and simple.

    Kushner alluded to that when he saw the demographics and shifted the Trump Admin's response to covid.

    That's a luxury all Americans want right now and are demanding it in their own unique ways...

    I'm sure there's a Boomer rant somewhere about these weak-kneed people not having the grit to finish a jerb right.

    BTW, the 4th booster article is for immunocompromised who can't afford to get sick. Figures that Matty's point was off the mark.

    [NPR] Cornell shuts down its Ithaca campus after significant signs of omicron variant found
    December 14, 20215:24 PM ET

    Cornell University is shutting down its Ithaca, N.Y., campus and is moving to "alert level red" — its highest alert level — due to what officials say is a rapid spread of COVID-19 cases among students.

    As of Tuesday afternoon, the campus reported 469 active student cases of the coronavirus and that, for the week of Dec. 6, about 3% of tests were positive among the students tested, according to Cornell's online COVID-19 dashboard.

    In an online letter to students, Cornell University President Martha Pollack said the campus's COVID-19 testing lab team detected evidence of the omicron variant "in a significant number of Monday's positive student samples."

    Because of the closures across campus, Pollack said all final exams for the fall semester will be moved online and all campus activities, including campus athletics, are canceled. The school's libraries are also closed for students.

    In addition, the school's recognition ceremony for fall graduates, scheduled for Dec. 18, is canceled.

    "While I want to provide reassurance that, to date, we have not seen severe illness in any of our infected students, we do have a role to play in reducing the spread of the disease in the broader community," Pollack said.

    Joel Malina, vice president for university relations, told NPR in an emailed statement that for the past 20 months, the university has developed and followed a "science-based approach" to COVID-19 decision-making.

    The decisions, which involve ongoing modeling and surveillance testing, helped campus officials identify positive cases early and minimize the spread of the coronavirus on campus, Malina said.

    Virtually every case of the Omicron variant to date has been found in fully vaccinated students, a portion of whom had also received a booster shot. We have not seen evidence of significant disease in our students to date," he added.

    Malina said campus officials are assisting those students who have tested positive to complete their mandated 10-day isolation periods and will help students who have tested negative to return home safely for the winter break.

    Cornell's last day of classes was Dec. 7, according to its campus academic calendar. The fall final-exam period for students is scheduled from Dec. 11 to 18.

    Last day of class being December 7 is awesome. Finals stress is a worry but if you manage to get your finals done on the 11th & 12th. That's a nice long break.
