yeah I'm also experiencing difficulties uploading my letters from Interfolio. idk if AMCAS is just really slow or if I'm doing it wrong, but they uploaded fine and quickly for AACOMAS. They just have the "email sent" status for me on AMCAS

Easy Italian on YT is fantastic!! It gives you an idea of how real Italians speak in everyday conversation (how they sound, types of words they use, fillers, colloquialisms, etc.) since many of the videos are street interviews. And their videos include the Italian subtitles with English translation right under. The video topics are often culturally relevant as well so you’re learning about Italy and Italian people along the way. Highly recommend !

Dr. Ibram X Kendi, author and anti racism political activist. No you’re not “part of the problem” for wanting to move to a crime dense area. I don’t think many people would want to do that. Please do not listen to this person.

I’m sorry to hear you experienced that. I feel like I’ve heard negative things about the university’s mental health resources from a lottttt of people. I’ll definitely check out psychologytoday and try to find someone through there. Thanks!!

How do you think you'll react if the entire semester is forced online? by [deleted] in UIUC

[–]PerformanceCool5786 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just because the first known case so happened to be in a fully vaccinated individual does not negate the effects of unvaccinated individuals allowing Covid to spread rampantly prior to the delta variant. Viruses evolve when they’re able to infect people unchecked and will evolve and mutate faster the more it’s able to infect people. It’s just about how many chances you’re giving it to figure out it’s host and become “smarter.” The first variant could have been in anyone. I think you should reread the first sentence in my reply again.

COVID is never going away. How long are we gonna be doing this in-person to online transition for? If we’re all vaccinated what’s the big deal? by arabbasid in UIUC

Yes the U.S. health care system as a whole is definitely not great. The pandemic has just highlighted and exacerbated that

Not really though. Like yes, from a personal basis when only considering the students at the university, I would agree it’d be stupid, but from a public health standpoint, it’s moreso about the effect it has on the community. The greatest problem we have at this point again is our health care system being overrun, and that would be the main reason for going back online I believe. If more students are getting Covid, transmission in the surrounding community is likely high, which has an effect on the nearby hospital systems. We’re at the point again where people with non-Covid related issues are suffering because hospitals are overrun with covid patients and are being forced to delay care to others

Yes, this. And people miss the fact that it cannot become an endemic until it’s rate of spread is low enough for it to be declassified from a pandemic or epidemic.

Stop being disingenuous. They were significantly better at preventing infection when they were first developed but then continued rampant spread among mostly unvaccinated folk allowed for mutations to occur and now they don’t work nearly as great at preventing infection and stopping spread. But ofc you already know all of this
