Outbreak. Coronavirus. It seems like everywhere you turn reports of a global health crisis dominate the topic of conversations. With the surge in media coverage and warnings issued by the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/coronavirus\/2019-nCoV\/index.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Centers for Disease Control and Prevention<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (CDC), it\u2019s hard to ignore the impact of the virus on college students.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As of March 5, 2020, the number of confirmed cases of the coronavirus (COVID-19) in the United States is still relatively low. According to the CDC, \u201c13 states across the country have reported confirmed and presumptive positive cases of COVID-19 since January 21, 2020.\u201d But the fear associated with the spread of the virus, especially across college campuses, can lead to the perpetuation of misinformation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s review the facts, as reported by the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hhs.gov\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">U.S. Department of Health &amp; Human Services<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses that are common in people and many different species of animals.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An outbreak of the virus was first reported in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Older people and those with certain underlying health conditions like heart disease, lung disease and diabetes seem to be at greater risk of serious illness.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For most people in the United States, the immediate health risk from COVID-19 is considered low.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The virus is thought to be spread mainly from person-to-person, through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Symptoms include fever, cough, and shortness of breath.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Source: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<h2><b>International student life<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The spread of COVID-19 throughout the United States is expected to continue. The CDC has already issued a recommendation to higher education institutions to suspend <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/coronavirus\/2019-ncov\/community\/student-foreign-travel.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">student foreign exchange programs<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. While it\u2019s impossible to predict the future impact of the virus on college campuses, students can maintain control over one area associated with COVID-19. They can fight against the stigma occurring towards Chinese and Asian students.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lina Zhu is an international student studying at <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.petersons.com\/college-search\/colorado-state-university-000_10002181.aspx\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Colorado State University<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Originally from Guangzhou, China, she came to the United States in August 2018 to pursue a master\u2019s degree.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI think there\u2019s definitely been a few changes in attitudes on campus since the outbreak began. I think students from Southeast Asia and especially China, have been getting a lot of questions about the coronavirus. It\u2019s mostly people with good intentions. They will ask me, \u2018How\u2019s your family doing?\u2019 or \u2018Has anyone you know been affected?\u2019 There\u2019s a lot of questions for us about what\u2019s going on and why.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zhu hasn\u2019t returned to China since she moved to Colorado two years ago. Although she is at a low risk for infection, she still experiences unfair judgement from members of her community.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI think the biggest misconception is that people think we\u2019re dangerous because of the coronavirus. For example, when I go shopping at a store, people are definitely looking at me more closely. I\u2019m not used to getting attention like that. People look at me a few seconds longer now.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As an international student, Zhu recommends campus counseling services increase their outreach to help students from all cultures understand the services and benefits provided.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cInternational Students don\u2019t always know where to ask for help. I know we have a campus health center and counseling services, but I think my understanding of counseling centers is limited. We need resources to help with the emotional trauma we may be experiencing from how we\u2019re being treated.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aside from discrimination and concerns about COVID-19, Zhu explains students need help processing the emotions that accompany worrying about their families back home.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI worry a lot about my family. I don\u2019t know who to talk to about that. My parents own their own business and have been experiencing financial repercussions from the outbreak. It\u2019s a very emotional experience. I think having support and talking it through would be really helpful.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zhu urges students to be mindful of their actions and comments on campus. If you find yourself needing emotional support, contact your campus health center for <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.petersons.com\/blog\/mental-health-resources-for-college-students-on-campus-and-beyond\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">resources<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Prevention<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Currently there is no vaccine to prevent or treat COVID-19.
