Small numbers of students traveling is not as much of an issue as long as they aren’t going to a high risk country in which case they would be quarantined anyways.
At some point the US is going fit in that high risk country category. It is already in most states and major cities. What we are doing is trying to control the level of breakouts and sequence the exposure. We are not going to control it unless we fall under Marshall Law, which isn't going to happen.

It is easy to hold online course these days. Cisco WebEx, MS Skype, etc allow virtual meetings with very little change to the experience. One thing that will come out of this is that those technologies will become a LOT more common in the near future
Putting a whole bunch of kids in the same classroom over and over again is a bad idea until these things are handled

A&M is on Spring Break this week, so we really can’t wrap up the semester.
As a professor I can say there’s a heap of work that goes into preparing online courses—more so than face-to-face.
It’s not just a matter of swapping a F2F course to an online one.
This could end up being a logistical nightmare..
An entire faculty and ground curriculum can't just go to online only classes. There's too much preparation on the part of the school and the student body to seamlessly transition into a complete overhaul of the ground classes.
What a mess this is about to become nationwide.

I agree that classrooms full of students meeting over and over is not a good idea.

Sure, but this why I specified schools without current incidents. Obviously schools in congested cities should send students home ASAP, but I think Starkville, Oxford, and Auburn are pretty safe as long as they dont host a conference or sports event or something.
The flip side is that these communities are likely to be extremely vulnerable if they do get it due to lack of medical resources.

I think this is going to happen in the next few days.
It’s actually worse than I thought it was yesterday. Ranters that live in congested areas of the country, I expect you’ll see cases start to come out of the woodwork this week.
I think our fears are being realized where healthy people are unknowingly spreading it.

Have you ever heard of the interstate ? The way you describe those towns, I have this image of mule drawn wagons hooked up to post in the downtown areas.

WTF, you think these Schools have dirt roads running down the middle of town ?
