The Peace Corps isn't just bringing home 7,300 volunteers because of the coronavirus.

It’s firing them.

Because of the coronavirus, the Peace Corps is doing more than evacuating its 7,300 volunteers from 61 countries.

It's also firing them.

In a March 15 open letter to the volunteers, the agency's director, Jody Olsen, said, "We are acting now to safeguard your well-being and prevent a situation where Volunteers are unable to leave their host countries."

But nowhere in the statement posted on the agency's website does it tell the public that all the volunteers are being dismissed. That information is in the agency's "frequently asked questions" about the evacuations.

Was scheduled for July 1 departure. I keep telling him the PC is not going to be disbanded. It will continue. I'm not so sure now.

4. Fulbright Scholars, too.

Our niece is a Fulbright Scholar and was sent home from her assignment. Done, no salary, finished. Thank goodness she got home, and is self-quarantining, but she is sad to leave her work.
