CFR for those aged 60 or greater is at 6.4%[0]. And of course an even larger percentage will end up hospitalized. How many professors are in that high risk demographic? Class is just supposed to go on while professors inevitably fall ill, become hospitalized and die?

- arbitrary_name 6y agoProbably the only way for young bloods to get tenure. Kidding.
- dba7dba 6y agoI would think many professors will ask for remote teaching option even if campuses reopen? With office hours held outdoors? I am a product of University of California system and many of my lower level classes had hundreds or students. I barely got to see the professor up close so maybe this remote video teaching may even been a better option. :)
- q084yn39cptyth 6y agoMy guess is there will be mandatory testing for students wanting to return, along with heavy disease surveillance. I also suspect even places claiming "normal operation" will not actually be normal — certain things will be virtual and other things not. There will likely be some reshuffling of teaching assignments too. I noticed also (former professor) that my institution is now heavily incentivizing early retirement for those getting close to qualifying, and are not shy about linking it to coronavirus. Finally, I think a lot of social distancing guidelines apply technically in many situations with lectures, etc. It will be an interesting semester.
