One thing that bugs me is the 'college kids only catch it from partying ...


irresponsibly' narrative (not that you said that - but that is what you see in the media and on social media). My son had it and he caught it from another friend while they were working together on a school project. They were both wearing masks - neither had been out and about or partying in large groups. My son's friend texted him when he tested positive and my son got tested and he also tested positive. He immediately quarantined for 14 days and his since tested negative.

Ironically, his girlfriend and all three of his roommates tested negative the entire time which is amazing to me. He also had VERY minor symptoms and said he never would have even thought to have gotten tested had his friend not texted him. So you know there are a TON of kids who have it or had it and never knew it ... which makes the denominator in all those calculations a hell of a lot bigger.
