We will have an update on how we project things will unfold by May 4th. There is a bit more intrigue in the module/block scheduling than this list would suggest, and we do not expect there to be a pushed-back start date, aka the idea Stanford has floated, unless there were to be a July or August second COVID-19 spike.
