  • I hope they use good judgement with the CCOVID rules. They are coming in from all states and we definitely don’t need more virus issues.

  • I wish the local people would show good judgement with the Covid rules.

  • I wish everyone who is scared of COVID would take care of their own business and stay out of mine.

  • With that kind of comment we don't need more commentators like Queen53.

  • TECHPHCY, I believe the vast majority of Hoosiers probably agree with you.

  • Don Antonio...you must be pretty ignorant to believe that having all these students coming in from other states is not an issue at DePauw. If you were paying attention to the news IU has already had sanctions for students partying in large groups. Between the ignorant people in Putnam County who don't follow the rules and new college students we are very much at risk. I had a family member who has been in the hospital since March with this virus. So I would advise you to keep your mouth shut when you don't know all the facts.

  • @Queen53--so your line of reasoning is that college students who party in large groups give the virus to others. Then your family member must have been partying in a large group.

    If college students party in large groups then why doesn't everyone get sick???

    So, tell me, how to shut my mouth when I am typing on a keyboard?

    You like to blast your mouth (er, keyboard) about ignorant people not following rules. Tell me, Mr. Wonderful, have you broken any rules in your life???

    Remember, when you point your finger at others, you have four other fingers pointing back at you.

    Just stay in your parents' basement and go to your corner where you will be safe.

  • Just a thought; the mask mandate will go away about the time early voting starts .
