Controlling COVID
Viruses can mutate. Per a New York Times headline: “The Coronavirus Won t Stop Evolving When the Vaccine Arrives.”
We may not be done with COVID, even after vaccines become available. If the virus mutates, our country could endure devastating, even prolonged financial and medical crises. COVID deaths are already spiking, especially up north.
University of Florida students are a large component of Gainesville’s economy. Yet, college students like to “party,” even if they are advised against doing so.
If COVID mutates, or just gets out of control, parents may demand their children return home, especially if UF offers online classes. Gainesville residents might even breathe a sigh of relief, if the party-hardy students returned home.
