Spring Break is coming and LSU is asking the campus community to consider canceling any travel plans they may have. Students on campus were recently asked about the idea of changing travel plans and some say they are now staying put. Reese from New Orleans says his Spring Break travel plans have already fallen through due to a Miami music festival cancelation.
“I don’t know know if I’ll be able to go to it next year, that’s the thing, but it is better than dying I guess, but I can’ go to my music festival. It’s kind of a first world problem,” said student.
Shola from Baton Rouge says she’s also scrapped any travel plans. She says developments in recent days have changed her outlook on just how serious the virus is.
“My mom has been telling for weeks to get a mask but I just didn’t know that it was this serious until few days ago. And I have a tracker, so every time a case comes up, I get a notification,” said Shola.
A statement from LSU says they are considering closing the school after spring break as they realize that students may still choose to travel. Gabe from Lafayette believes the worst is still to come and says he’s got no issue with the school halting on-campus classes.
“I know its spreading pretty quickly and I know it spreads very easily and it is coming. If it cancels classes or makes them all online, I think we can work around that pretty easily,” said Gabe.
