They tried to reopen (for literally a week until the day after tuition was due) until huge clusters appeared. My bro followed every precauation possible and either got it from a roommate or like one of the 2 classes he was forced to attend in person. Neither the school nor the housing he lives in offers literally any support other than "well shit, just quarantine for 2 weeks and get tested again". The noxious greed of university administrations and the death cult that is the politicians who enabled this based on the insane notion of "restarting the economy" directly hurt my own family.

Henceforeward I am swearing eternal vengeance on the capitalist barons and will do every single thing I can to bring about communism

    I told my brother not to go back this semester because they just wanted his money and weren't going to be able to contain the virus. Like two weeks in and bam, 400 cases. Classes go online and everyone is quarantined in their dorm rooms. At least he hasn't gotten it yet, but wow this was extremely predictable. Colleges are basically trying to sacrifice students for revenues.

      It's kind of funny, this must be the 50th time it's happened globally? It's like watching a guy repeatedly walk into a wall,
      "maybe this time will be different"
      "oh shit that hurts"
      5 minutes later
      "maybe this time will be different"

    I was confused for the longest time how cases in Fl keep going down when we just started the schools back up again. Checked again today, cases up 400% since yesterday. Here we go
