Air Force Academy has already re-opened with next semesters' students already there. They are marching socially distanced and with masks and elevated hand washing.
On a side note - several USAFA cadets committed suicide due to lockdown-induced mental health issues a few months back... so it's pretty safe to say that the cure is more deadly than the illness (at least currently... 0 cadets have died from covid-19 while 2 have died from suicide).
- HenryKissinger 6y ago> several USAFA cadets committed suicide due to lockdown-induced mental health issues a few months back. My condolences. The Air Force Academy is a golden ticket to become an Air Force pilot. I can't imagine what it would take to override that prospect in one's mind to the point of bringing them to the brink of suicide. I understand that forced isolation sucks, but not to this point.

I'm not sure you can conclude much from two.
