No idea. It might be worse.. just heard Columbia cancelled its match day.
It sure would be a shame if all those healthy medical students hung out together. What’s next? Are they going to shut down the hospitals? Ban their students from using the subway?
I was wondering if schools will cancel graduation this year. That would be a real bummer
It certainly would.
We do too
I don't mind the rest of the week's events, but can't they just leave me the eff alone to cry in peace when we get the email about matching???
Don’t we get an email as well?
Wouldn’t the email be an automated thing from the website?
My school is preventing guests from coming to Match day with a possibility of just cancelling it. It will be kinda funny of they mail it.
I’m curious what the students’ opinions are of their school cancelling or considering cancelling their match day ceremony? Do students support it?
The only reason I’m going is to open early before it’s online. If they cancel I can still be with my classmates and family.
We’re allowed two guests but i havent actually heard any musings on cancelling it. Thankfully.
Friend of a friend
Paranoia and pressure from the greater university
Well, the students aren't in the age range to get seriously ill in case of COVID-19 infection, but some parents and definitely grandparents are.
There is so much fear over this thing. Hand sanitizer on amazon being $60-80 a bottle. Stores sold out of soap and toilet paper. Masks and gloves are in a shortage. People have legit lost their minds.
We have a case here it’s someone who hasn’t traveled at all and works in Walmart. So it’s obviously around.
it’s the week after match. I could be quarantined and have no issue
My italy trip is also after match.it’s the week after match. I could be quarantined and have no issue
I’m in total agreement that there is no reason for mass hysteria, but the 34y/o physician whistleblower died from this. Maybe he had an underlying condition— I have no idea, but it doesn’t seem quite the same as the seasonal flu when that is the case. We’ll see where the actual statistics end up when there’s more data to go on. In Singapore, where there is better testing, the fatality rate is significantly lower (0.6% vs. 3.4% or whatever numbers we’ve seen in the media). I would be upset if Match Day was canceled over this, but I also fully understand why this would be a PR nightmare if someone was hospitalized or died within days of attending one of these events.
I’m not much of a conspiracy theorist, but I’m pretty sure there was some shady **** there.
I’m not either, but after that hotel quarantining people collapsed, my radar is up too.
Not high. Website was fixed, they won't make the same mistake again.
Ooo Iceland is beautiful and on the plus side, lots of nature and few crowds!

It's too late, it is there haha.I've played enough Plague, Inc to know how this goes, Iceland is just gonna close its borders anyway
