I'm in San Diego, and I work part-time as UCSD. I got word this morning that two UCSD health workers tested positive for Covid-19. UCSD Health is doing everything they can to track who had been in contact with those two employees. My first reaction was "Yikes!" That's too close to home. Thankfully, I don't usually have to venture out to the "main" or central campus area (because of where I work at UCSD, ha ha), and all the classes I teach have been cancelled or moved to online-based platforms as of last Friday (yes, the 13th, ha ha). All I can think about is what a close call that is... Stay safe, and stay vigilant about hygiene, everyone. ♡
Oh Jeez. I'm in SD too and my mum works for UCSD Health (nurse practitioner at an offshoot in north county.) That hits a little too close to home, especially as I'm supposed to be taking classes at UCSD. I'm thinking of deferring for a term because of all of this craziness.
Wow! My friend was eating at a sushi joint in San Diego and the cops came in and closed the place down!Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk
I don't think you need to defer, if you're starting in the spring quarter. UCSD classes will be done online starting from last week until the end of the spring quarter. Even finals for the current winter quarter will be online-based. That is too close to home for you and your mom as well! They haven't released information about which department the two health workers are in, but they know that they contracted the virus from somewhere around the San Diego community (and not from working with Covid-19 patients at one of the UCSD medical facilities).
Yeah it's WAY too close for my mum. She used to work in the main Thornton hospital, so hopefully that's NOT where it happened, just because it has SO MUCH transfer potential...Well, they officially said that no one would be coming in for classes, but they canceled one of mine already and no word on whether the other two will go forward online :/ it's kind of evolving so quickly they have to keep detracting what they said before. Because as of this past weekend they were still going to do on campus labs/small sessions. Now as of today, they canceled that completely.So I'm still waiting to see if they'll even offer any online courses because as of now they only have in-class one scheduled.
Well, to clarify, the contact didn't happen in a UCSD hospital or on-campus but from unknown whereabouts around the community. Either way, it's not a good sign.Ah, okay... the higher-ups at UCSD probably still trying to figure it out, and it might take a little more time as all of this is happening so quickly. I'm sure things will work out soon.
