The Wall Street Journal published comments from several college students who are frustrated

with the irrationality of their universities’ Covid restrictions. Here’s one of the students:

Singing is a gift, but during the pandemic (đại dịch) it became a privilege (đặc quyền). I joined my school’s Women’s Chorale during the second semester (học kỳ 2) of last year. On the first day of rehearsal (diễn tập), we measured 10-foot distances (khoảng cách 3 mét) to mark spots where we would sing, with masks on, in the concert hall. We could sing for only an hour, and in the fall the chorale had to sing outside—still 10 feet apart, with masks on. By the end of the spring semester, that became six feet apart, and instead of a concert, we recorded our songs with a sound guy who said “OK” at the end, in place of applause (vỗ tay hoan hô).

Fast-forward to last Friday night, when I sang in my first concert in two years before a full audience. Granted, we wore masks, but we stood next to each other, and the applause and seeing friends in the audience were well worth it.

At the beginning of the school year, we were able to sing without masks. But then my school flip-flopped due to government restrictions. The back-and-forth due to the amount of Covid cases on campus is giving us whiplash. When we sing with masks on stage, we look indistinguishable (không phân biệt được) and impassive (bình thản, không nao núng, dửng dưng). We shouldn’t lose sight of how strange it is that the government and the university can now mandate the manner in which we sing.
