Halls or residence must be a bit of a planning nightmare for public health officials. I reckon the government can say what they want, students (especially first years) will want some semblance of Freshers week to remain. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldnt taste or smell anything for weeks and had the worst cough I'd ever had. The cough lingered for months. Almost everyone at my work got ill around the same time. Some of them quite bad. Chances are it probably wasnt Covid if theyve never proven it was around in the UK back then but seemed to be very similar symptoms. I had that in November last year as well, just your bog standard irritating virus with a cough that hung around forever. When I came back from Thailand in early February with the cough I had had for the last 3 months I was told to GTF from work until I had been tested negative, 'twas all very confusing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

101 Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 The interesting with the students will be them being told to stay at their Uni city if there is another lockdown. I would worry about the toll in students mental health. I think the Unis should be doing everything they can to stop flat parties particularly in halls but I doubt it will be very easy to do unless they got heavy handed with the punishments. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will make risk based judgements and the risk is low but if they are to return to classes then who knows who they could pass the virus to and that's when the Universities need to step in as they have a duty of care of everyone at the University. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MP_MFC Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 How long has it been since they imposed restrictions on Glasgow? Doesn't seem to be doing much so far.This is just the 2nd full week if I mind right, the numbers aren't climbing higher so I think it is having an impact but as you saw from the first time round it's a while before you see it drop.Lanarkshire is still going up so I think you'll see 100+ cases here shortly before it levels off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's quite clearly no objective analysis going on at an advisory level either here or south of the border: it is just a whack a mole strategy based on who the government thinks it can blame (footballers!!!!, empties!!!!!!, youths!!!!!!!!, going on holiday!!!!!, people drinking!!!!, the devil's instruments playing in pubs!!!!!) while avoiding pissing off their protected interest groups. Absolute NAP that students!!!!!! will go on the granny-killing list by the end of the month. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tam M Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 I’ve just finished self isolating after testing positive. Was ill for about 10 days, just felt like a really bad flu. Took the test on the off chance due to how long it was lasting. I suspect I got it via the weans most likely as there were positive cases at their school, and had hardly been out the two weeks prior to symptoms. I was really disappointed with T&T, I got my results back on the Wednesday and it took until the Saturday for them to contact me for close contacts. They didn’t contact close contacts for another 2-3 days after, of which one of them finished their self isolation period on the same day! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A leaked report reveals the team advising Scots ministers believe the plan, revealed last week, is hugely ambitious but question if it can be achieved to the timescales proposed. First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has said her government is “hooked in” to talks on the Moonshot plan but independent experts have warned her against rushing to support the Prime Minister’s proposal, with one describing Moonshot as “pie in the sky”. Mr Johnson’s £100bn plan aims to deliver 10 million Covid-19 tests every day by spring. The plan involves tests which provide rapid results in minutes despite the fact the science to produce those tests does not yet exist. A timid pushback by focusing on the timeframe of the plan rather than its contents also being a crock of utter shite tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
