Cornell shuts down campus
In what is expected to be one of many organizations following suit, Cornell earlier this week shut down its campus on 12/14.

  • over 903 cases reported in early December
  • high percentage were Omicron cases in fully vaccinated individuals
  • fortunately, none of the students is experiencing severe illness

While many might view this as a drastic step, Cornell was done with classes, but this week would have been finals week. So there is an impact for students.
