Yeah, it would cost that much. But it just needs to be done. And this all needs to be done with 100% mask compliance. Anyone who can't wear a mask or refuses to then needs to be accommodated with online learning, same for anyone who needs to lipread.
Mass PCR testing is achievable, and I think that the government has the capability to do it or at least be giving money to universities to do it. My home province has managed to roll it out, and they are going through a recession like everyone else.

On top of that the health care system there seems to be imploding, and they have managed to do it. They started with offering tests to those who wanted it, and then they gave pharmacies the ability to test asymptomatic people.

Surely the issue w/ mass PCR testing is lab capacity and turnaround? I think, ATM, Ireland has a lab capacity of 15-20k/day with 1-2 turnaround: even a weekly test just in the HE sector would take up the entirety of that capacity
