This would have screwed me during university - no family to live with, so would have had to approach a private landlord about a short term let to self quarantine. Fat chance. A lot of vulnerable students will be in this position.https://twitter.com/shannonrwatts/status/1237783307493892096 …

this is the major reason my university hasn't suspended classes yet: there are plenty of students who'd have to fly home, many of them into burgeoning outbreak zones. others have no other forms of housing or steady meals

Yeah, containing a virus by making a huge number of students break up and fly across the country/world seems.... not deeply thought through. We were just told to stay in our room for a fortnight if we had Swine Flu.

I was an estranged student at university, with family who actively did everything they could to sabotage my life (my grandmother called the LEA and lied about me to get my grant stopped, which left me totally fucked.) This situation would have been absolutely devastating for me.

Yeah, my stepfather tried to do the same. Luckily he’s in prison now. But, every summer I had to find temporary accomm and it was always hard: this seems near impossible.
