I am extremely uneasy having a high risk over my house and seeing people licking their lips over this event. Choose words carefully today and think of the actual people who live in these storms’ paths.

this is absurd. FSU will not require vaccines and we are returning to normal, but if you live on campus and test positive, you are effectively evicted and provided with no shelter. Not every student or family has the means to suddenly return home or buy a hotel room…
