COVID-19 versus MIT Campus Preview Weekend 2020

I agree with @TheVulcan. The pandemic is not going away quickly. Just today, Dr. Fauci predicted another outbreak in the fall. The coronavirus does not grow well in chicken eggs, which means any traditional vaccine manufacturing method will likely have low yields at the start, and non-egg methods have never been scaled to the amounts required for a pandemic We are just seeing the start of the economic damage. The impact on college and college admissions will be profound, and I haven’t heard anything from the schools regarding fall plans. Maybe that is OK for returning students, but it is a very different situation for the newly admitted. The circumstances have already impacted our daughter’s plans. We’ve decided to stay in-state and accept a full-tuition scholarship program versus a more expensive albeit arguably more prestigious out-of-state option in order to provide an element of physical and economic security.
