    Honestly I'm wary of the push to blame kids fresh out of high school for not having enough self control. I hate these people too but it's a bit too much of an "individual responsibility" narrative for me to be comfortable with - even if every college kid in the country was behaving we'd still be in a shit situation due to government inaction.

    edit: Every college that sent kids back to live on campus did it purely for financial reasons, without taking good precautions, and knowing full well that students would go to bars and spread the virus. They pushed this narrative in official correspondence and it's now all over every college subreddit. It's pointless to blame these students, this is not where we should be directing our anger.
