it asks if i am having different “new or worsening symptoms” that could be related to covid. news flash, i’m having new/worsening cough, sore throat, etc. because ragweed just started blooming. in order to come to class, millions of people will have to lie on this app, otherwise, we will have to quarantine because of a headache or something. This is a problem because most people who have covid symptoms are dealing with something else in their lives:hormones, allergies, stress, pre-existing conditions. Most people, when they start to get sick, write it off as something else. So either we assume we’re not sick, possibly spreading covid to others, or we assume we are based off the app’s quiz, which means quarantining regularly enough to lag behind on work and being isolated in one’s dorm On the second day, the app already doesn’t work(says “there is no rule matching the symptoms”) so how are we going to use this daily?

It’s been 40 minutes and counting...still on the loading screen. Clearly, this app is not ready yet to be released. Also, every day in the week leading up to the start of my period, I have a headache and never feel well, but this system cannot differentiate that, which is problematic if the student is being completely honest. Female menstrual cycle aside, many students get headaches as a result of being stressed about academics, for instance. Moreover, allergies are a real thing that students regularly experience, as well, since the ducts and filters of air vents in classrooms are seldom cleaned; furthermore, some older residence halls on my campus are notorious for their black mold, vermin infestation, and poor HVAC systems, which can contribute to healthy people having symptoms which mimic the virus.

My campus asked us to use this app. I downloaded it, was validated in the system, and used it a couple of times. Then got a reminder notification and the app wouldn’t load from the notification nor from just opening it. I gave up on day 1 of this. Then it happened again on day 2; when the app finally loaded, I was kicked out of the system and had to reauthenticate, and the submit button wouldn’t work. I gave it several seconds and nothing happened. I deleted the app and reinstalled it, and it still won’t load. Just sits there with a “Loading, please wait” message on the screen. App is deleted for good now. Sorry, campus.
