To think the government should not have let universities go back

[strawberrysandpecans]

If it knew already from modelling what would happen with Unis it should have made teaching online the first term and saved students the accommodation fees. Government should have subsidised Unis for these for a term and then see where we are after that.

Isn't this about the government not wanting landlords to go bust.... the landlords who own student accommodation?

@Belladonna12 I agree.. ds1 text me yesterday to say he’d gone for a walk with a couple of his new housemates.. perfectly within the rules and not something he’d have been allowed to do if he was living at home. Yes they might get locked down, and if they do I’m happy to deliver shopping, but equally they may be fine (and drinking vodka in the kitchen at 3am!)

@strawberrysandpecans

BellaDonna12 I meant proof they'll only be locked down for a couple of weeks and after that will be having fun.

I hope you are right and they will be home by Christmas, but that must be worrying for some students who are newly away from home

There's no way they can lock them down for longer than anyone else has to self isolate. The Scottish government are already backtracking.

Regarding Christmas ,yes, I think it is worrying for all of them. I feel really pissed off that the media doing so much stirring as I think there is no chance of it happening unless the whole country is locked down at that time. Even then, they would probably be able to return home as long as they isolated when they got there. They could in March.

I do think the SNP will pay a price for this at the election
