You're fine.
Only if literally every other person there also wore a mask
That's literally not what I meant

If they don’t (which they should), they should at least have a list of all the places that do.
Well, that's where I got the clinic that I went to! Well, it was the State site, but still.
That was the website tho, right? You didn’t actually speak to anyone?
You figure they keep a super secret, not on the official website, list of testing sites? I assure you, public health staff do NOT have that much energy.
No, no. What I mean is if you actually spoke with someone at the state DoH, it’s possible they have a list that may be more current than what the website shows. I had that happen when I called our state DoH a few weeks ago.
Do you want to know where I work?
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

My wife's school is asking staff to come back soon, but (1) we're in a different state, and the school hasn't come up with a policy for dealing with out-of-state employees yet and (2) she's not allowed to meet with students in-person until August at the earliest. So, yeah, she's staying home.

In my state, UConn just announced that fall semester begins Aug 31. Will be a mix of in person and online classes, but that after Thanksgiving break it will switch to just online classes. No word on spring semester yet.

Yeah they're doing the same thing--a mix of instruction, no students after Thanksgiving. Perhaps department-specific guidelines will shift her classes online entirely, but absent that, can't see any way this doesn't needlessly expose her and her students for a class that could be easily done virtually.

How does a relatively wealthy university make money without students on campus? Do they charge the same for emailed power point lesson plans?

If you think that's what online instruction amounts to, it says all we need to know about the value of your opinion. But, also:
