What to do this week: wash your hands and attend small events
So, to be honest, there are fewer events to go to this week, in light of CPax's recent email. In case you didn't hear the news, they're cancelling all events of fewer than 100 people in an attempt to limit the potential spread of Coronavirus. Eli Kaplan, '22, covers this more in depth here.
However, some events are small. So, wash your hands and go to these.
