Trump: Shutting Down Colleges Is Dangerous; Students Pose a Greater Safety Threat at Home

President Trump yesterday blasted universities that have canceled in-person classes amid coronavirus outbreaks, saying the move could ultimately cost lives rather than saving them, the Newser website reports today (August 20, 2020).

Trump said the virus is akin to the seasonal flu for college students and that students pose a greater safety threat at home with older family members than on college campuses.

He cited no evidence to support either contention.

"It's significantly safer for students to live with other young people than to go home and spread the virus to older Americans," Trump said.
