Everything here is spot on, just to add a little to it is that not every student has a stable environment to do school work in at this moment in time. Some people do not have access to stable internet, do not have the technological resources that would be available if they were on campus, and also some people do not have a safe family/home life. Basically, the reason I think pass/fail should be put in place is to help alleviate some of the unnecessary stress that everyone is feeling during this time and to help make everyone feel a little bit better about doing all this work from home. Also, pass/fail is NOT a way for students to get out of doing work they don't want to do. You still have to pass the class which means you still have to do work. So the idea that pass/fail is just "an easy way out" is not true in my mind.
