“Trump said there will be certain exemptions made for certain Americans "who have undergone appropriate screenings."“

which is vague and guarantees nothing.
This is the god damn problem.
I can’t find any actual information on what the travel ban entails other than some exemptions. Does this mean that if I don’t have a fever and cough I’m good?
If my flight was routed through London (like one option I had) would all this not matter?

And honestly it seems too late. If he would have banned travel when this thing started I wouldn’t have bucked, but we have many more cases than my location of choice, I’ve got cases in my literal town.
*throws hands up*

It has since been clarified. It applies to foreign nationals.
 
And all US citizens will be rerouted through 1 of 13 airports and require a 2 week quarantine upon return. im working on cancelling everything. Yay.
We have a European cruise scheduled which im not cancelling in the hopes that they do... otherwise we dont get a refund, only a credit.

Im so disappointed. This was supposed to be the best part of med school and we lost everything.
 
Anyone else struggling to meet the basic requirements of rotations. Like I know I’m doing a bad job but I can’t get motivated at all. I don’t want to be in the hospital.
Yes but I feel like my preceptors also know the deal because they remember their last year of med school lol. I also scheduled pretty chill electives towards the end. I had no idea I would get senioritis all over again. Just need 2 more passes to meet graduation requirements lol

I hope it works out for you. If it was just me I wouldn't care, I'm done with rotations and could take a quarantine. But this was a trip of lifetime with my parents (who have never been to anywhere in Europe). They have to work and couldn't take the 2 week quarantine.

Im still being forced to do my EM sub-i in April. So im sure that’ll end splendidly given how the rest of this year has gone.

lol the doc I’m working with won’t even think about giving me time off because “when I was in med school instead of taking my Vacation time I did 3 extra rotations because I wanted to learn!”

I want to hate these people but they’re basically martians. They don’t understand how us earthlings think.

“Yeah I guess I wouldn’t need a vacation if I could go on 3 interviews and get into any specialty I want with a 200 on Step 1”
 
Travel ban within the US, coming up next. I have no words to express the disappointment of this situation. I have 6+ weeks vacation that I'm going to have to throw.
