I happen to believe that one of the lessons from Lockdown 1 is that it *worked* in bringing cases/hospital admissions/deaths DOWN. The drive to save the economy meant that it was eased too fast, too soon, which is causing this second spike (in many areas). But MUCH of that is due to household mixing, not students having a bit of a Freshers party.

As long as when they are disciplined by the uni....and one or two possibly sent down. And when they are quarantined and isolated if the COVID rips through the Halls they don’t bleat that life’s so unfair. Actions have consequences and everyone knows what is currently happening. I don’t blame them for having a bit of fun but they have been found out.

people of Coventry beware of the incomers. I think it would Be harsh if anyone was disciplined
Deference is partying.“in some way” doing a lot of heavy lifting in this post. Surely one of the lessons of lockdown 1 was that you can’t effectively bubble people in modern society?
If the Uni bubble bursts we will have some smart as feck empty buildings
I would have pointed out the poor build quality and small room these student blocks have. Then I saw what passes for luxury apartments in the former co-op building and how much they're charging for them.Theyll be luxury apartments before you can remove the smell of instant noodles.
Why would it be harsh if anyone was disciplined? They agreed to this years CU code of conduct which outlaws things like this.

I think the fact was it was mentioned about locking one or two up as a example. Not just expulsion but prison. Totally disproportionate. Stern talking to, maybe even a warning but that's it. Loads of people out flouting social distancing/mask rules on the streets/shops/pubs. Should we lock up the idiots in Trafalgar Sq?
Also, did anyone tell students that a week after coming back (in some cases pretty much forced to) they'd barely be allowed outside? If it was OK for them to come back how come in such a short space of time they're being put under such strict conditions? I'd say because it was a lie that it was OK and they wanted them back because a lot of people with a say-so have a stake in the student housing game and didn't want to be losing out on the money.

So glad camera phones weren’t really a thing in my day.
But cameras were, so you're still not off the hook matey...
It took balls to go and get them developed though and look the people in the eye when you collected them.
A proportionate response I agree, but surely to god these kids need to take responsiblity for their own actions. They got a place at Uni, I presume they can read the rules?Fuck sake- sent down??
This is just another example of "blame the people instead of us for our mismanagement and demanding they went back in the first place"
Do you want to "send down" all those blokes who went to Trafalgar Square- I know which is riskier between that and these kids locked away messing about
the left make me laugh on here. all slam the government. they put measures in place but when students flaunt the rules it’s alright. They are young. These are the same people who claim how serious the virus is. pot kettle black again. outrage only happens when it suits. let’s hope the levels in cov dont go up in the next few weeks
Alright, I've tried to avoid this thread as you can have too much Covid, but I'll biteLoving all the liberal suggestions of herd mentality being the way forward. Not too long since that suggestion was being weaponised against the PM who along with the govt was ridiculed and pressured into late lockdown. Sweden took that approach and seem to be a little better at present. I have no idea which method is or was correct and believe we've been 'following the science' but we certainly shouldn't be altering views simply to suit our current argument.
Welcome to the party, hope you enjoy it as much as I do!Hmm, I must now be officially grumpy middle aged, having written about young people as a different species
Not doing any party, want to keep my social distance.Welcome to the party, hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
It's never been that kind of party, I have always been able to maintain my grumpiness in isolation and lockdown has helped me tone my skills.Not doing any party, want to keep my social distance.
I'm not young anymore, you know!

You've said it there : they think they're invisible. Thus the rules that are being applied to the population don't really apply to them. They can do as they please and if it means that the country takes an extra 6 months or more to recover to a level where we can function again so be it.Alright, I've tried to avoid this thread as you can have too much Covid, but I'll bite
Personally, I wouldn't blame the young people for doing what young people do - that was inevitable once they were put together, and young people think they're invincible / don't see the wider consequences.
It was always inevitable once universities went back.
Now, that was a government decision to do that - agreeing or disagreeing with it is a matter for... the other thread in my mindbut that's what it is. To blame the young people would be, however, shooting the messenger as far as I'm concerned.
Anyway, I consider it progress that Lurker only mentioned lefties and not... anything else.
You say that when you have absolutely no response.Want on earth are you talking about?
If we're all honest, we'd have been similar at that age, that's why. I'd like to think I'd have stayed in and done as told, but I also remember having swine flu and not being that bothered, carrying on as normal. That said, swine flu didn't take hold like this, and there wasn't the constant media intrusion either.Why don't you blame young people ? Is it because they are young and they need to go out

exactly what I said. all you left saying how bad Covid is. yet when students disobey the guidelines you roll excuse out they they are young and allowed.What on earth are you talking about?
Where the fuck have I done that you clown?exactly what I said. all you left saying how bad Covid is. yet when students disobey the guidelines you roll excuse out they they are young and allowed.
