[quote AvocadoPlant]@BigWoollyJumpers hope your DD is soon better. Her flatmates over-reacted, I’m guessing it’s the first case they’ve had in the flat. I hope everything is a little calmer now.
I don’t know whether the uni welfare team can help out with food?
Re the spike in cases at Exeter, DD told me “things are starting to be cancelled” but didn’t elaborate and as she was texting me during a lecture, I didn’t press her on exactly what she meant but am hoping to have a chat with her today.[/quote]
Yes, first case. Her flatmates don't generally go out at all, so a little different from standard students. They are not happy she went clubbing! Anyway, it's a really interesting window onto human nature.
It's her girl friends who have been silly about it. The ones she thought of as her best friends. Meanwhile one of the boys, who is really quiet and keeps to himself, but is lovely, has checked on her every day. Another girl, who isn't popular in the flat generally, as she is a bit loud and in your face, has dropped off chocolate at DD's door, and offered to pick things up for DD. She has even offered to sit in DD's room if she is lonely as she isn't bothered, and did the same for her mum when she was ill. How lovely is that??
DD is regretting going out a bit, but honestly, she could actually have caught it anywhere, lectures and seminars, the gym, the coffee shop. If it is so prevalent at the moment who knows??
She is generally OK though. At the moment it is just like a normal cold. Just sad she has to be in on such a beautiful day.
