Coronavirus update

San Francisco bans public events holding more than 1,000 people

Michael Weishan writes from Harvard:  "This has placed incredible strains on everyone—staff, student professors alike,—but particularly on our lower income, first generation students,  as you can read in the Crimson.  These days the College no longer provides free summer storage, and this crisis requires students to pay to store or ship their things, as well as to buy airline tickets home on short notice. While the financial aid office has made some funding available for tickets, many of the our students have fallen through the cracks. Additionally some of our international students who can’t return home will have to remain isolated on campus, and others will be returning home to areas with slow or no internet service which will make participating in online classes next to impossible. To make matters worse, all of the students who were working term-time are now unemployed."

Dr. Anthony Fauci warned on Wednesday the coronavirus situation in the United States is going to get worse and 'many, many millions' will be affected.
