Will upcoming summer internships at companies like Amazon, Microsoft etc. around the Seattle area get cancelled due to Coronavirus? what you all think? edit: also what do you all think the chances are for cancellations? Likely?
The world would need to be a shit show for that to happen.
It is a shit show. Just not in US yet, coming soon 1-2 weeks.
This is ‘Murica. We got it. We’ll grab the coronavirus by the 🏀s and shove it back up its arse. See you later, bich!!! HA
No, people are going to realize that the virus will soon be everywhere just like the seasonal flu, so it’s pointless to cancel things for it.
But flu has a vaccine while corona doesn’t have any.
Some variants of the flu have a vaccine*
If you’re coming from China? Yes From the US? No
The death rate for intern ages is extremely low. Even if you catch it, you'll be fine.
We gotta protect our principals and leadership!
Yeah but they can spread it...that's kind of the whole point of "virality"
@Microsoft. The community spread for coronavirus in the us just started. Read the news. Anyone can have it not only Chinese.
If things are bad enough to wreck your summer internship it will be the least of your problems.
I hope not :( I have 2 good internships lined up for the summer and fall
Hopefully not :(
I'm headed to NHO on Monday (in Seattle, not fb) and not excited about it. The guidance in the email is only for people with travel history to China to stay away, nothing about SK/Italy/Iran etc.
Lol people's reaction to this is truly insane
I think you should be, since it has 3x more chance to kill you then dying from driving a car.
Source? But even if you aren't full of shit (which I suspect you are given no one knows shit about this thing right now), that's fine. I take risks everyday. Maybe a little bit more risk for at most a year, that's just part of life.
Yes. Not worth dying over
absolutely
What do you think the chances are of it happening? Also do you think Amazon would make interns work remotely in that case?
