Now I've got your image of a tank coming up the street (and everyone losing their cars in the process) followed by an ice cream van! Can I add to the ideas flow? Snipers with dart guns loaded with vaccine (in the manner of tranquiliser guns)? I like it, @Becky B🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PRESLEY Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 Students to be tested before Xmas home leave, news reporter just said, thats if all come forward, easy peasy, give them all a chitty, so as they go through the test testing process the Chitty is stamped by the tester then hand in to Uni admin, otherwise no test chitty stamped no home leave.

francypants Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 If they are not going to act on positive results ...... what is the point of testing ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thirsty Relic Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 32 minutes ago, Pettytom said: They are students, not prisoners😀 As we do not live in a dictatorship, people do have choices. There are plenty of people who do not agree with the lockdown, but follow the rules. There are also those that don't, as we have seen. As far a vaccine is concerned, there will be those who rush forward to get a jab, others that are undecided, and some very much against it. If I understand it correctly and the vaccine offers 90% immunity from Covid, if most people get vaccinated, then those who don't are still succeptable, but can't transmit it to those vaccinated. Therefore, life can resume, and Covid cases will plummet, and eventually disappear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like every other adult, they have free will. It’s fine to encourage them to get tested, but if they choose not to, then that’s that really. Did you really envisage locking students up if they don’t get tested? 17 minutes ago, Baron99 said: And they are adults but many seem incapable of abiding by the adult rules. I don’t think that students disproportionately disobey the rules. It is mostly middle aged men with attitude problems who refuse to wear masks and social distance. I feel massively sorry for our current university students. They are getting a very poor deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thirsty Relic Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 I'd like to bet that a very high percentage of students would want a vaccine, so they could get back to face-to-face contacts in lectures and have a normal life. I say I'd like to bet, but the bookies are all closed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have police or army outside your door checking if your outing is essential? Maybe you could post on here before going out, and we can judge whether its allowable.
