HAZARD: UM Students in Coral Gables–No Masks, No Distancing

Recently arriving University of Miami UM students, showing total indifference to the highly complex, detailed and sophisticated COVID-19 mitigation rules established by the UM President, are running around like they are in another state, another planet, another country.

It seems unlikely that the UM will be able to sustain a COVID-19/CLEAN campus for very long. Also, the strict on-campus mitigation rules may impel the students into the Coral Gables community (pharmacies, supermarkets. restaurants, rooms and apartment rentals) where they can infect themselves, senior citizens and other bystanders.

Does UM think it has a stand alone place with a Trump-like wall between itself and the City of Coral Gables.

UM promised remote classes for those who selected them and this has not be materialized for some students who are forced to drop courses, drop out or endanger their health. We are still living in national COVID-19 hot spot.
