If a Prof doesn't respond to follow up emails after an interview, is it pretty safe to assume they're no longer interested?

I've had professors respond and gotten rejected/waitlisted (UW). I've also had professors not respond and gotten accepted (MIT). I think it's more concerning to not get a response in a direct-admit program. Rotation-based programs it seems less concerning.

Especially right now where schools/departments are scrambling to deal with COVID-19, a lot of professors are going have delayed/forgotten responses. A late/lack of response is not the end of the world.

I got my MIT BE acceptance! Not sure why it was a few days later than everyone else, but I'm 100% accepting. Thanks to those who reached out when I posted here asking about it!

I got an offer from MIT! 

Currently feeling the strangest blend of shock/excitement/happiness right now, and I want to thank everyone on this forum who has provided their support and ridden along on this emotional rollercoaster with me for the past six months. 

Congrats! Do you know if they sent out all the acceptances at one/has anyone else received an acceptance? I interviewed but haven't heard back yet and I'm trying to figure out if I should keep hoping or expect a rejection.
