I went to a friends match day last year. There were a significant portion of students who were heavily intoxicated (ie. wasted af).

I'm totally down for the day drinking, but I don't wanna be that bad.

All of this is a moot issue for me since our match day got canceled.

You're right. Screw them.

I'm taking the entire week off.

YOLO BABYYY.

I ain't scared of no goddamn virus and I ain't scared of some nerd-ass, out-of-touch admin at our school.

They got their tuition checks so they can STFU.

Shots shall be poured at Monday morning 8:01 AM.

Yea I’m on a surgery subI that week. Not going in.

F’em. The world is ending, I can’t go on my honeymoon, and I’ll be damned if I spend 6am if match day making the list for some sleep deprived resident.

It's pretty crazy how all this stuff about COVID 19 and whether our match day/graduation ceremonies are actually going to happen has made me completely forget that I will find out next week where I'm going to match.

I can't get over the fact that a bunch of paper pushers at the AAMC know if I matched and they have to keep us in the dark for weeks on end.

No....

Looks like it's a 30-day ban, US citizens exempt, fyi.

Doesn't look like US citizens are exempt, but "certain exemptions made for certain Americans "who have undergone appropriate screenings." which is very vague and unreliable

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.

Probably because it’s not part of the Schengen Area, which allows free, undocumented travel in most of Europe. And Italy is the epicenter. So there’s no way to show you haven’t been there if you’ve been within the Schengen Area.
 
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.
