We just got an email from our university that says that there will be a program in the next few weeks to do mass testing of staff and students...who only live in campus/uni accommodation. Which I do not think actually accounts for most of the population who work/study there
I'm not sure it would increase transmission, if it was done safely, and as long as other protocols are met. But ultimately I think students and staff just need to the PCR tests, period. But from what I read, tests are being priced higher than they need to be also.

And I'm sure college is spending money on the other stuff but since they haven't really told anyone anything it's hard to know what they have spent money on specifically.

Also, the older screening programme was to ID antibodies, whereas I think the screening done on campus would be more accurate to ID cases and then they would get an HSE test. That is the impression I got from this:http://www.universitytimes.ie/2020/09/widespread-testing-in-trinity-could-cost-e1m-per-year-says-luke-oneill/ …
