My son is back at Uni today. He had to put forward a proposal as to how he would control the lab testing he needed to complete that was suspended back in March. That was accepted and he met up with his supervisor yesterday to go through the protocols they would be adopting in general. Full PPE - visors to aprons - and constant cleaning/sanitising.
Luckily (so far), although it seems the country is going through a bit of a spike (or an upturn), it hasn't hit this area too badly. But how can anyone know what levels of the virus will migrate around the country with the returning students?
@steveTu. And the returning holiday makers who’ve been shoulder to shoulder in the streets of St Ives and Newquay! All going back to their respective counties, that will not get a mention on the spreading news, they don’t want to detract tourists so they’ll blame something else. All the young people who would have gone to Ibiza and Benidorm and other such places have all been to Cornwall. Almost 2000 calls a day for services, spitting on drivers, police and paramedics. booking for next year are up by 500% compared to last year, so on it goes.
Can someone explain to me why they think this government wants to put all uk businesses out then tell everyone to get out and spend money, travel etc?

Makes you wonder why can't people just stay where they are and forfeit a holiday considering the global circumstances. Is it such a big deal not to go on holiday?

It's quite a bit deal ... but we've managed it 😇

What is more worrying is that these groups believe the 'state' has always had a plan to take complete control over their lives and that the covid pandemic is an illusion invented purely as a means to accomplish that.
How anyone can look at what our government is doing and think 'this must be a highly sophisticated plan that was in development for years' is beyond me.
All anyone can do is to do their bit eh? I trust my son - he's a cautious, sensible bloke - but I saw kids going back to school (we have junior and senior schools nearby) and a group of older boys passed by the window virtually head to head (maybe they were all brothers, who knows?). It's not just the young though - the number of older people that I see in SMs (ab)using masks and not distancing in on the increase. I think people are just 'bored' with covid - like Brexit - they just want to '...get it done...'. It's that general 'apathy' that will kill people.
