I am betting that the dorms will not stay open for more than two weeks - lead pipe cinch they won’t be open for more than a month before they close and your children will be back home.
The dangerous part is that some will be Covid asymptomatic - you will think everything is just fine until you get it. And those consequences can be severe - deadly.
My youngest went to summer camp in North Georgia - it stayed open for 4 days before sending kids back home. The New York Times, Washington Post today have articles that reference a CDC study of the circumstances and the CDC reports that 260 counselors and campers tested positive of what they know - about 50% of the campers and counselors that were there. IT ONLY TOOK FOUR DAYS.
My twelve year old son had a fever, we quarantined away from each other when we got home. He tested positive but only had a fever for a few days. I successfully took care of him without getting it.
His friend and neighbor did not have symptoms when his Dad picked him up. So they did not quarantine from each other. The friend and his Dad both came down with COVID. THE DAD (healthy as a horse with no underlying conditions) IS NOW IN THE HOSPITAL IN THE ICU AND HAS BEEN FOR THREE WEEKS. And no telling how many other parents have been severely stricken. They haven’t announced that for privacy reasons.
I only knew four parents of the 260 or so that tested positive and one of those is almost dead.
The point being that it is irrelevant that Miami is more of a hot spot. It is living density among teenagers and young adults that will cause COVID to super spread.
By the middle of September Gainesville is going to be a COVID mess. I cancelled my oldest dorm assignment and he’s not going back to Gainesville until the country has COVID under control.
You may not like my saying this, but if you READ THIS AND IT CHANGES YOUR MIND - IT COULD SAVE YOUR LIFE.
