>> WELCOME BACK TO WAKE UP WITH
CHEDDAR WITH THANKSGIVING JUST
A WEEK FROM TODAY AMERICANS ARE
APPROACHING THE FIRST HOLIDAY
SEASON AMID
THE PANDEMIC AND WHILE THIS
HOLIDAY IS GOING TO LOOK A LOT
DIFFERENT THAN USUAL.
THE DELAY LOVE WHETHER OR NOT
TO GATHER WITH FAMILY IS
ESPECIALLY PRESSING FOR PARENTS
WITH COLLEGE STUDENTS.
JOE GRIMES THE AUTHOR OF THE
ULTIMATE COLLEGE STUDENT HEALTH
HANDBOOK JOINS US
NOW JILL WELCOME TO THE SHOW
WHAT ARE SOME OF THE BEST
PRACTICES THAT STUDENTS SHOULD
TAKE NOW BEFORE THEY HEAD HOME.
>> SO THIS REALLY 3 THINGS THAT
WE WANT COLLEGE STUDENTS TO BE
DOING RIGHT NOW NUMBER ONE
IS TO REALLY REIN IT IN AND
RESIST THAT TEMPTATION. A LOT
OF PEOPLE A LOT OF COLLEGE
STUDENTS ARE GOING TO BE DOING
THEIR
FRIENDS GIVING SO THEIR HOLIDAY
CELEBRATION BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT
GOING TO COME BACK TO CAUSE
UNTIL JANUARY BUT RESIST THE
TEMPTATION TO
EXTEND THAT OUTSIDE YOUR BUBBLE
AND TRY AND KEEP IT JUST DON'T
GO TO A RESTAURANT JUST
KEEP IT WHERE EVERY BEEN
MEETING WITH YOUR FRIENDS AS IT
IS THAT'S NUMBER ONE NUMBER TO
GET A FLU SHOT NUMBER 3, MAKE
SURE
TO GET HESTON LOT OF COLLEGES
ARE RECOMMENDING SEND EVEN
REQUIRING EXIT TESTING BEFORE
YOU GO HOME AND YOU WANT IF
YOU HAVE NO SYMPTOMS IS IDEAL
IF YOU CAN GET A PCR BECAUSE
THAT'S
MORE SENSITIVE. SO GET THAT
TEST CAN TAKE A FEW DAYS TO GET
THE RESULTS. SO DON'T WAIT
UNTIL NEXT TUESDAY IF YOU'RE
GOING TO THE TRAVELING HOME ON
WEDNESDAY TO GET THAT TEST.
>> STUDENTS COME HOME, WHAT'S
THE BEST PRACTICE EVEN IF THEY
WERE TO GET A NEGATIVE TEST.
SHOULD THEY BE KIND OF WEARING
A MASK INSIDE WHAT DO YOU
SUGGEST THAT THEY DO.
>> THE MOST CONSERVATIVE
SUGGESTION IS THAT THEY SELF
QUARANTINE FOR 2 WEEKS AFTER
GETTING HOME. IF THEY HAVE BEEN
QUARANTINING SO EFFECTIVELY
SELF QUARANTINING FOR A WEEK AT
SCHOOL I THINK IT'S REASONABLE
TO IT TO DO IT FOR ONE
WEEK WHEN THEY GET HOME
UNDERSTANDING THAT THERE'S
ALWAYS POSSIBLE EXPOSURE ON THE
TRAVEL HOME. SO WHAT DOES THAT
LOOK LIKE IT MEANS YOUR COLLEGE
STUDENT COMES HOME, YOU CAN
GIVE THEM A HUG YOU SHOULD BOTH
BE WEARING
A MASK. BUT IN GENERAL JUST
THAT FIRST WEEK THEY NEED TO
HANG OUT AT
HOME AND AND IF THERE HAD WHEN
THEY'RE HAVING MEALS THEY NEED
TO HAVE THEIR MEAL SEPARATELY
BECAUSE WE HAVE MEALS OBVIOUSLY
WE TAKE OUR MASKS OFF SO YOU
CAN SIT IN THE LIVING ROOM WITH
THEM BUT TRY AND YOU KNOW SIT 6
FEET OF PART AND WEAR MASKS AND
ENJOY EACH OTHER'S COMPANY
THAT WAY.
>> WHAT SHOULD A FAMILY DO IF
THEIR COLLEGE STUDENT WHO COMES
HOME DOES TEST POSITIVE AD AND
THEY'RE NOT
GOING TO SEND THEM AWAY, I
WOULD ASSUME SO WHAT IS THE
PRACTICE FOR BEING HOME WITH
SOMEBODY WHO HAS A POSITIVE
CASE. OK SO NOW THAT NEWS
FROM SELF.
>> QUARANTINE WHICH IS STAY IN
YOUR HOUSE TO SELL TO NOT SOUTH
BUT ISOLATION. SO IF SOMEONE IN
YOUR FAMILY, YOUR COLLEGE
STUDENT OR ANYONE ELSE. TEST
POSITIVE THAT
PERSON NEEDS TO BE COMPLETELY
ISOLATED FROM THE REST OF THE
FAMILY, SO IDEALLY THEY SHOULD
HAVE THEIR OWN BEDROOM IN THEIR
OWN BATHROOM. IF YOU'RE HAVING
TO SHARE YOU'RE JUST GOING TO
HAVE TO BE SUPER DILIGENT ABOUT
CLEANING BUT
IDEALLY THERE THEIR OWN BEDROOM
AND BATHROOM AND YOU'VE GOT ONE
PERSON DESIGNATED TO GOES IN
AND TAKES THEM WHAT
THEY NEED MAKE IT EASY ON
YOURSELF USE PAPER PLATES
DISPOSABLE UTENSILS SO THAT
THERE'S NOT THE TEMPTATION AS
THEY'RE
FEELING BETTER, YOU KNOW, I'LL
JUST CARRY MY PLATE TO THE
KITCHEN AND WASH IT, NO NO, YOU
JUST STAY IN THAT ROOM AND
WE'LL BRING YOU WHAT YOU NEED.
>> I THINK
THAT COLLEGES SHOULD REMAIN
REMOTE FOR AT LEAST THE END OF
THIS SEMESTER. AND IF SO
THERE'S ALSO THE MENTAL
CHALLENGE OF THIS FOR FOR
COLLEGE STUDENTS. WHAT DO YOU
THINK THAT WHOLE WOULD BE ON
THEM IF CLASSES WERE TO STAY
REMOTE POTENTIALLY TILL THE END
OF THE YEAR.
>> WELL I'M THE PARENT OF A
COLLEGE STUDENT WHO'S DOING
REMOTE LEARNING. I HAVE VERY
STRONG FEELINGS ABOUT
YES, IT'S ART LUCKILY ARE
COLLEGE STUDENTS ARE
EXTREMELY RESILIENT. I THINK
REALISTICALLY THE VAST MAJORITY
OF COLLEGES ARE GOING TO STAY
REMOTE THROUGH THE END
OF THIS YOU'RE NOT MEETING THE
WHOLE SCHOOL YEAR BUT THIS
SEMESTER AND THOUGH WILL BE
RETURNING TO CAMPUSES UNTIL
JANUARY IMPOSSIBLY FEBRUARY.
I'M EXTREMELY OPTIMISTIC THOUGH
FOR THE SPRING.
WE HAVE A HUGE COLLEGES LIKE
THE UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS AND
UNIVERSITY
OF ARIZONA WHO ARE DOING
MASSIVE AMOUNT OF TESTING IN
KEEPING THE RATES REALLY LOW
AND I THINK AT THAT
YOU KNOW THE ALL OF COLLEGES
ACROSS THE COUNTRY HAVE A
COUPLE MONTHS HERE TO LOOK AT
THE BEST PRACTICES AND SEE
WHAT'S WORKING AND GET THEM
IMPLEMENTED BECAUSE IT IS
INCREDIBLY HARD TO BE MISSING
OUT ON ALL OF THE OTHER PARTS
OF COLLEGE OUTSIDE THE
CLASSROOM AND REMOTE LEARNING
IS CHALLENGING WE ALL
KNOW THAT.
>> WE HEARD SO MANY KIND OF
HORROR STORIES WHEN WHEN KIDS
FIRST WENT BACK TO SCHOOL IN
TERMS
OF JUST OUT OF CONTROL SPREAD
ON
COLLEGE CAMPUSES DO YOU THINK
IN IN TALKING TO COLLEGE KIDS
DO YOU THINK THAT THEY ARE
GETTING THE MEMO ABOUT HOW
SERIOUS THIS IS.
>> ABSOLUTELY I DO I THINK
THEY'RE GETTING KIND OF A BAD
RAP TO BE HONEST THEIR YOU KNOW
THEIR SEGMENTS
OF THE POPULATION AND SOME OF
IT DEPENDS ON THE YOU KNOW.
THE POLITICAL PERSUASION
THE OVER ARE YOU WRITING
FEELINGS
IN THAT AREA BUT BY AND LARGE
HONESTLY, THE CAUTIONS THAT I
KNOW ARE ALL TAKING THIS VERY
SERIOUSLY AND MANY OF THEM ARE
CONCERNED ABOUT GOING HOME
BECAUSE IN SOME PLACES THEY'VE
BEEN GETTING TESTED TWICE A
WEEK. EVERY YOU KNOW
UNIVERSITIES ARE TESTING TWICE
A WEEK EVERY WEEK AND THE KIDS
ARE NERVOUS ABOUT GOING HOME
AND GETTING COVID FROM THEIR
PARENTS.
