That depressed me from afar -- I can hardly imagine how depressing it is for the young folks affected by this derangement. Especially since deciding to go to college and then actually going are huge events in a young person's life.

Hopefully, they're all paying semester by semester, so when they quit -- and most or all of them should quit -- they'll have wasted less money than if they had prepaid for the entire school year.

I live in Columbus and and went to OSU. If you go to the North Campus area on a Saturday night there are way too many people walking around in groups of five to ten people going to parties and what bars and restaurants are open. Most people wear masks until they are seated at a table but it does not feel socially distant with regards to density of people. There are patios such as Cazuelas that look very full with lines of people waiting to get in. Lines are supposed to have six foot gaps between customers, but often that is not the case.

The economic conditions that are being imposed on restaurants and bars are not reasonable either. You can’t order a drink after 10 p.m. and you have to finish your drinks by 11 p.m. All this means is that bars have to make their money during a short period of time, so they pack them in during the few hours that they are allowed to be open. The restaurants aren’t getting any breaks on rent either, nor are people who rent places to live. The Columbus Convention Center has been turned into a giant eviction court that is processing 100 evictions a day. That’s 500 households a week that are being made homeless. This has been going on all summer since the eviction moratorium ended at the beginning of June.

OSU students are being tested for Covid-19. The most recent batch tested at six percent positive.
