The shutdown was necessitated by the lack of capacity in our healthcare system. This statement seems to name natural immunity as the end goal without mentioning the capacity of the healthcare system.

This is interesting rah-rah rhetoric even while he seems to be hiding from the medical and scientific realities of the problem.

By reopening, the school increases those proximate and frequent contacts exponentially. They have the technical infrastructure to engage learners collaboratively while maintaining physical distance but they're in a hurry to resume with the stubborn improvement plans that are put on hold, which they boast about strangely in this message. They could ask school communities to think together about how they can use the tools at their disposal to not risk more lives and strain the health care system that is clearly ill-equipped. The subtext is that they're in a hurry. Why not marshal the patience and collaborative ingenuity to care for every life while our scientists design testing, treatments and a vaccine?

This seems easy to fact check but also very premature.

Here is how she describes the separation. There are gaping holes in the outline of this. What would treatment look like at these makeshift facilities? How will schools staff up these quarantine centers that are fundamental to this plan? How do we keep these folks who are separated from everyone from becoming an immediate drain on the public health resources that led to the closures in the first place? Don't you have to explain to your student body how this separation process will look and work? Won't every parent want to know?

Here is what is also basic- universities are cornerstones of our democracy and our economy. Our government must find ways to shelter them temporarily from the short term economic impact of this pandemic.

The desperation they're expressing is based on short-sightedness of the moment, and also well founded mistrust in our government that is in denial about the need to protect us economically.

This is really a hole in the argument. Here's the crux of the tradeoff that she says is too great for us to be patient with the science.

No mention of all the people quarantined at that hotel and the medical staff they've provided to care for them.

This is a really weak premise. Consider this: if schools reopen with a byzantine health and safety plan, many students will choose to forgo starting college or delay completing their degrees because they don't want to contract a deadly virus that is still not understood.
