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 …

Estranged students and those who grew up in care are much less likely to get to university anyway, and all I see from universities are measures that assume everyone has a stable home and parents with plenty of spare money to take their students off their hands.

Replying to @DawnHFoster
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.
