“It’s only going to get worse because nobody, not even really the school, knows how many students will come back to school,” Weinzweig said.
Because there isn’t a way to get an accurate headcount of returning students, it’s uncertain how universities and college towns alike will compensate for their losses this fall. But for schools, towns and businesses, one thing remains clear: None of them expect to fully recover any time soon. In Athens, Ohio, students at Ohio University make up three quarters of the population. A census without this population could slash the official headcount from 24,000 down to 6,000 people. For Ithaca, a remote college town, half of the population consists of students — meaning the population count minus students could shrink from 31,000 to as few as 15,500.
Then get everyone back and stop with the nonsense!!!
You mean the govts who shut all the businesses and colleges down? Govt power always gets left out of the conversation for some reason.
You misspelled 'Government lockdowns have...'
The virus is a sentient being now...
You mean 'Democrats have turned college towns into ghost towns...

The United States is under international lockdown. No one wants Americans in their countries! The States lead the world by far with over 3.4 million COVID-19 cases and over 138,000 Covid deaths. That’s 1/4 of the total COVID 19 deaths in the world! Winning!! All on you, tRump!
I lost my trading company in this Summer and had lost my restaurant during Chinese Spring festival. Thankfully all the people I know in my 32 years of life have stayed safe and sound. I found a job in June. We are all struggling after but it does get better.Dont loose hope people
We should've been done with this already. I was expecting to visit family in July but conservatives didn't want to wears masks because it made them look like a pussy, and they wanted everything to open, and they thought it was a hoax. Now were are more infected.
MeetThePress WRONG! NBC News and other outlet's have turned them into 'ghost towns! STOP the LIE! MAGA realDonaldTrump

MeetThePress As schools fight to keep kids in school so they can get their tuition
Well, MAYBE, we should have handled it correctly, at the start, the way the Republic of Korea did.
MEDIA WON’T TELL YOU THIS... YES LOTS OF POSTIVES, WHY? LETS SEE MOST POSTIVES ARE AGES 10-35? COULD IT BE THEY WERE LOW LIFE BLM, RIOTING, BURING AMERICANS SMALL BUSINESSES DOWN.
Communist dictator (murdered millions) Mao Zedong's dictum & the slogan of Chinese Communist Party - 'women hold half of the sky'. Sleepy Joe Biden's rhetoric in a fundraiser - 'Women hold half of the sky'.
Even Jared Kushner got some of the COVID19 relief money. These business owners should call their senators. Something is amiss.
MEDIA WON’T SHOW YOU THIS. THIS IS OFF THE CDC WEBSITE.. LOOK AT THE DEATH RATE NOW...
For more than a century, the office supply store A.J. Hastings in Amherst, Mass., has opened its doors to the public every day without fail. “Through thick and thin,” says co-owner Sharon Povinelli. “We’ve been here almost as long as the universities here.” (2/7)
I’m afraid that we are heading for another Great Depression.
No worries... All government employees are being paid to stay home and do nothing....
Terrible leadership
Mr. X to Mr. Y: 'The Fox is In The Hen House! Start fase 2.'
Thanks realDonaldTrump
Welcome to London 1485. The 'Sweats' has arrived.
This is what you asked for
What a surpise.....
The political flu is widespread. Destroys everything
Usually College towns rip-off students.
If we all wore a face mask, we would be singing to a different tune, but what can we do when many still refuse to find their voice? No wonder this choir called humanity is singing off-key.
Blame it on Trump
And realDonaldTrump wants to have ICE send all international students home. He will crush local businesses even more.
Absolutely. In Athens, Ga now. Without football, things will go from bad to horrible.
If those immature brats would wear mask we could get back to normal.
All the a MSM reports
Only if the billion that went to realDonaldTrump’s friends went to these businesses
Dr Fauci continue doing your job, we respect what you doing . May God bless you .
An unfit person who stole the WH with the help of a foreign government, couldn't do his job during a pandemic. It turned college towns into ghost towns and caused businesses to struggle to survive. This is fact! Use it!
Sad part is those who are applauding and grandstanding these tragedies are MSNBC, CNN, DEMOCRATS, & THE CHINESE COMMUNIST PARTY. What a 'collusive' team they make. We're all acceptable collateral damage to achieve an 'ATTEMPTED' power grab. KAG2020
You make it sound like Covid is responsible for this. The reality is, in your zeal to topple this President and Country, your reporting has done this. The lies you spread and fear you sowed caused this. How dare you now report on this like it is a naturally occurring tragedy...
Maybe the professors can start a GoFundMe for their local towns since they are the ones that don’t think they are essential, but demand full salaries? And since schools don’t have bills for electricity and such w/o students present, give tuition breaks!
COVID didn’t do any of that. Moronic & Illegal overreach by local government did that.
