About returning to school.

In Norway, they early on (May-ish) started allowing pre-school through 4th Grade to return to school after following simple protocols:
1) Child and whole family test negative
2) All teachers and other employees test negative
3) Everybody commits to following the government's distancing (2, later 1 meter) and occupancy guidelines
4) Everyone has their temperature taken daily upon arrival at the school
5) Everyone commits to staying home if they feel ill and reporting to the school and the health authorities if they exhibit known covid-19 symptoms.

It went off with nary a hitch.

Later, they allowed high school seniors to resume graduation festivities (a national tradition beyond proms and sprees) with predictable results.

Now colleges and universities have started back up with partial in-person instruction. Which, of course, draws the students back to their dorms where they congregate, drink, eat, have sex and, naturally, give each other covid-19.

Nothing could have had higher odds.
