Hundreds of Penn State students gathered outside of the freshman dorms Wednesday night — many without masks — to dance, twerk and party amid the COVID-19 pandemic, enraging community members and concerning plenty of other students.

Based on social media posts, the large East Halls gathering appeared to last about an hour before being shut down sometime around 10:30 p.m. It was not clear what ultimately ended the gathering, whether by university police or resident assistants ...

“I ask students flaunting the university’s health and safety expectations a simple question: Do you want to be the person responsible for sending everyone home?” <Penn State President> Barron asked. “This behavior cannot and will not be tolerated. We have said from the beginning health and safety is our priority, and if the university needs to pivot to fully remote instruction we will.”

The gathering came just two days after the start of move-in and on the same day a Penn State fraternity was suspended for hosting a “maskless social.” A petition has already gained more than 2,000 signatures to send Penn State freshmen home ...

4. Same thing apparently at Auburn University as well

saw online posts of large unmasked gatherings that, surprisingly to me, included two young women twerking.

5. I loved college parties

But It's not that time...Sorry kids take care of yourselves you are not immune, this disease does not care that you feel the need to party.
