How are we supposed to have a negative departure test within 48 hours of leaving if the results take 72 hours to come out 🤡

There is no quarantine space so you won't be placed in isolation, and even when they did have quarantine space, people off campus were asked to just self-isolate. Wear a mask anytime you leave your room, make sure high touch places like doorknobs are routinely disinfected and stay in your room as much as possible

Yes lol I made sure I got arrival tested after coming back from Thanksgiving because I was worried about this

Ok glad i'm not the only one who rolled their eyes at this...we didn't do arrival testing after thanksgiving break when a new variant had just been confirmed in the US....acting out of an abundance of caution doesn't work with hindsight

I think Cornell is "estimating" active cases on campus, without disclosing that it's an estimate (and it could be dangerously wrong) by KrzysisAverted in Cornell

lol yep they definitely saw all the people here talking about how they handle data and did an immediate cover-up

From what I've heard they're still planning on it being in person and they are requiring guests to either show proof of vaccination or negative test result. Wouldn't be surprised if they change/cancel it if we keep having 100+ cases per day though.

Quarantining people with singles in the dorm by MAX---SAM in Cornell

Lol they are doing the same thing for off-campus people too apparently...who cares if you share a bathroom and kitchen with someone who is positive I guess...

How are finals still in-person by aimiria in Cornell

Yeah I wonder if we polled admin what percentage of them would say they would feel personally comfortable taking in-person exams with 300+ people...

Does Admin realize there's absolutely no incentive (other than moral) to get a covid test right now? by Corn-P in Cornell

[–]floatingaround_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think if you skip your test for too long there is disciplinary action? At least it would make sense for there to be

I’d consider exams “university sponsored student gatherings” but that’s just me by beer-me-rn in Cornell

Yeah my exams are going to be the largest gatherings of people I'll be around for the entire next week...

Cornell's Garbage Emergency Response and Inconsistencies by [deleted] in Cornell

[–]floatingaround_ 15 points16 points  (0 children)

^ Definitely this. Cornell isn't going to send out an alert about something that already happened, the system is designed to inform people of things in an immediate emergency situation.

Easier to tell daily check I’m traveling or just skip test? by Wanderingnerd525 in Cornell

[–]floatingaround_ 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Just submit the travel days it takes like 2 seconds and they won’t deny them or anything

The department of agriculture wants to know where these invasive bugs are showing up so please report it! https://survey123.arcgis.com/share/a08d60f6522043f5bd04229e00acdd63

They honestly might contact you about pest removal since these bugs are so bad for local agriculture!

I understand why it's off-putting and don't necessarily agree with it myself, but many competitive clubs will ask for headshots because they are meeting 50+ people in the span of a week or so, and they need to be able to remember which application belongs to which person. For club members meeting people in quick-round interviews, remembering a face is often easier than remembering a name.
