2 | 3/12/2020 13:08:02 | I live in Japan and was denied an exemption because it's not a CDC level 3 country. I'm sorry that I don't want to get trapped out of the US if travel restrictions intensify soon??? | |||||||
3 | 3/12/2020 13:14:29 | I submitted a request for exemption because I am worried about possibly bringing back the virus to my grandmother, who lives with my family, and my mother, because she currently is fighting lung cancer. | |||||||
4 | 3/12/2020 13:55:20 | From NYC, Homophobic + transphobic parents who would possibly kick me out if outed, take away my medication, ailing grandmother lives with parents. alumni from my living group are fighting to have me stay. | |||||||
5 | 3/12/2020 13:59:10 | Low-income twins. Family can't afford to to support two extra people on a week's notice. Told to think creatively about my options. | |||||||
6 | 3/12/2020 14:14:44 | I live with a younger sister with a compromised immune system. We're from a European country where people travel back and forth to Italy very frequently. We have more and more cases everyday. Hospital conditions are terrible. They said I don't even need to self-quarantine, just to wash my hands. | |||||||
7 | 3/12/2020 14:16:26 | Going home means that I’m going back to a county that already has one nearby town in quarantine and the national guard there. I’m worried about what’s gonna happen by the time I get there and being in quarantine once I do | |||||||
8 | 3/12/2020 14:41:44 | Request submitted because there wouldn't be a healthy family structure to which I could return without risk. | |||||||
9 | 3/12/2020 14:49:59 | international student from Thailand, petitioned because most of the routes back either transit through Europe or through hard hit countries. Denied by the template response. | |||||||
10 | 3/12/2020 15:00:29 | mingl | Neither affirmation nor denial yet, but here goes: Am U.S. citizen, parents in China Officially one residence in Washington state but the house is empty since we have been preparing it for sale Only family friends still around have immunocompromised children Asked if I could get a locksmith to break into the house (no), or why there are no services (because it hasn't been lived in for 4 years), or if I could stay with others (see above) | ||||||
11 | 3/12/2020 15:11:07 | Denied a petition request. I no longer practice the same religion as my parents and living at home would be hostile. | |||||||
12 | 3/12/2020 15:59:47 | Fernando | In the process of getting US citizenship (and losing my green card). I cannot leave the country for the next two weeks but MIT didn't care about my immigration status. My whole family is abroad | ||||||
13 | 3/12/2020 16:15:29 | Submitted due to living in the same house with 3 at-risk people: my mother, 60 years-old and asthmatic; my grandmother, 91 years-old; and my grandfather, 90 years-old and has cancer. Told the following: " If you are worried that you may be carrying the virus to vulnerable people in your own household, you will need to keep your distance from family members for the first couple of weeks and be extra vigilant about keeping hands and surfaces clean." | |||||||
14 | 3/12/2020 19:01:10 | I'm from Taiwan, which is classified by the World Health Organization as having "very high" COVID-19 risk: my application to stay on campus was denied. I am also receiving treatment for a health issue that requires a prescription drug, and I will be unable to receive this drug in Taiwan because of family cultural sensitivities. Additionally, I have been informed by a head of house that if I leave the country, he believes that very likely I will not be allowed to return in the fall. I would have difficulty affording other housing near Boston, and I am uncertain whether I will be able to stay with a friend. For these reasons, I will probably sleep in my UROP lab and shower at the Z Center until I manage to figure things out. | |||||||
15 | 3/12/2020 21:26:56 | Told them that both my parents are in China and that I had no way of accessing my home. They suggested that I try to stay with a friend until my parents come back. I appeal this morning and was given a very generic "we understand your concerns" response. | |||||||
16 | 3/13/2020 20:00:37 | - family all in china (~3hr from wuhan) - has preexisting condition that will make COVID-19 severe if contracted. Documented advice from doctors advising against travel, crowds, etc. - documented need for accessible housing, which you can't find on such short notice esp when you can’t travel (also can't drive bc medical stuff), esp in Boston response from MIT's Kate McCarthy: Think creatively about other places [you] can go. We are unfortunately in the midst of a public health crisis and need to prioritize the health of the community. Our expectation is that you leave your residence by Tuesday, March 17th. | |||||||
