Sorry England hope this November lockdown works and brings down infection rates. We have just had a cancellation on our holiday property so advise not to travel unnecessarily is being heeded.

Hunkyteddy Nov 2020 8:30am, 1 Nov 2020 331 posts	0 Hunkyteddy We know things never run smoothly so I wonder what the biggest row will be this week? My bet is that schools and universities will be pressing to close as well, and they could yet be another u turn.

EvilPixie Nov 2020 8:38am, 1 Nov 2020 19,831 posts	0 EvilPixie Uni can and should go online Whilst teaching online quarantine students for 2 weeks bubble test then send home Stay teaching online into 2021 Not ideal but a solution Problem would be getting students to stay out especially as some have shown that a party life is essential to uni 😏

Rosehip Nov 2020 8:42am, 1 Nov 2020 18,418 posts	0 Rosehip a lot of uni stuff does seem to be online already - your suggestion is very logical - maybe two tests a week apart ? but they would need to be bubbled/isolating properly..
