Mayor Walt Maddox of Tuscaloosa, Ala., Mayor Donnie Tuck of Hampton, Vir. and Mayor Bruce Teague of Iowa City, Iowa, on how they're trying to halt the spread of the coronavirus.

Mayor Donnie Tuck of Hampton, Va., which serves as the home of Hampton University, said many students go to neighboring cities for entertainment, or live in nearby towns,"so there's not the same economic impact.

In Iowa City, the University of Iowa is pushing ahead with in-person classes. Mayor Bruce Teague says the key to handling the pandemic in his city while the university continues to allow in-person classes"is going to be educating relentlessly and constantly, sending out messages so that they know, hey, let's try to figure out solutions together in hopes of keeping everybody safe in our community.

In Tuscaloosa, Maddox said that this transition back to school will be"difficult," and he anticipates that it will be an ongoing battle. "I think in the end it's going to be very difficult, especially on college campuses, because as students return and then as we see the emergence of the flu season, I think you're going to continue to see this spread," Maddox said."Let's all remember, the experts were telling us in April and May, summer is when you get your break. Well that hasn't happened for Tuscaloosa and it doesn't sound like it's happened for Hampton or Iowa City as well.

“.. you're going to continue to see this spread,' Maddox said. 'Let's all remember, the experts were telling us in April and May, summer is when you get your break. Well that hasn't happened for Tuscaloosa and it doesn't sound like it's happened for Hampton or Iowa City as well.'

Come on NPR. You need to stop the giddy fearmongering now. CDC disproved the whole covid-19 lie.

The Democratic Party has become the party of intolerance, censorship and Racism. Democrats have incited riots and promoted Marxist revolution, but offered NO protection to law abiding citizens. The country is waking to their evil and it has sealed their fate!

If they say the students are protesting will the virus leave them alone?

So it's no problem, the kids have been protesting for months. Going back to school is no problem at all and they have shown that

Wake up folks look at Europe, millions are marching educate yourself. It’s all about control Germany UK. Millions of ppl are marching. Wake up

Sometimes the money is exaggerated b/c schools can suck money from the community. They use resources and affect housing. They also operate bookstores, gyms, rentals of all kinds, print/copy services, restaurants, coffee shops - all on tax-funded property w/a captive audience.

These idiot Mayors are worrying about the economic impact, while people are dying, and trying to re-open anything contributes to even more people dying.

6 PERCENT! You all need to stop with the BS. For God's sake, show some loyalty to your country and not your globalist money!

Money=American lives as collateral damage.

God bless them! To be!
