So they're going virtual for - a week! So they think the threat will be over by then?? I also read yesterday that Dartmouth College is only admitting students who are fully vaccinated. Other colleges need to do this as well - one of the NY state universities closed after 2 weeks last fall because of a prohibited gathering which resulted in a rash of students getting infected. Now that we have the vaccine, every school should require it to head this off, but we know they won't.

No, they won't. Fear of qpuke whining? Likely, I think. If someone doesn't want to get vaccine, do online learning.

At what point does the general populace's well being factor into public policy?

Never in qpuke states.
