If you are not already in contact with Yale Health about
your struggles, *PLEASE* do so immediately.  Or at least
reach out to your college dean.

There have never been fixed deadlines for assignments in
the sense that the penalty for lateness is only 5% per
day, which translates to at most 2 points per day.  Even
after 10 days you can earn up to ~60% of the possible
points.

However, later today I will announce (via e-mail and a
posting) an augmented policy on lateness that will offer
even more flexibility.
