There have been several students interviewed over the weekend who have bemoaned their lot - having to self-isolate because of the high numbers of Covid infections in their ranks. It seems that they have been so looking forward to 'Student Social Life', 'Freshers Week' etc and now they have been deprived of their frolics and fun. I wonder how folk like Agnes (who is in her seventies, at risk, and who hasn't been outside her front door since March) feel about the plight of students. And all the others whose lives have been put on hold for six months - and counting.

Seems to me that it's strange that so many super-intelligent young people have tested as virus-positive. Could it be that they are actually irresponsible or stupid - or both - to have become infected?

And now the poor lambs are up in arms because they can't go home at Xmas! Go home to spread the virus among their ageing parents and grand-parents. Like I say 'irresponsible and stupid'.

Will student rooms/campuses/accommodation become the new Care Homes?
