@robfordmancs Never mind universities, when will government and especially @MattHancock address community transmission being triggered by schools and universities and testing failures?

"Prof Mark Woolhouse, who sits on the government's pandemic modelling group SPI-M, said the situation was "entirely predictable" and had been modelled. He said students were not to blame for the outbreaks and with students converging from around the country it was "inevitable there would be some spread". Modelling showed the risk areas were first-year halls of residence and face-to-face teaching, he said."
This is exactly why we're advising all of our members to teach online this term. We all know it's impossible to provide the same level of quality teaching online, but the public health implications of reopening campuses are real and evident. ... See MoreSee Less

We wouldn't know what is in store for students at Cambridge, as the University has consistently refused to share with us their contingency plans and risk assessments.

"Students caught up in a spate of Covid outbreaks have questioned why university halls were allowed to open. They have been told not to visit pubs or restaurants this weekend or go home after hundreds of students across Scotland tested positive for the virus. However, many have called the outbreaks inevitable given students were encouraged back to campus." ... See MoreSee Less
