Asked about students potentially being locked down over Christmas, @DrJoGrady said that the immediate concern has to be October, not Christmas.
She says students locked down at @ManMetUni are not being tested and second and third years there will still have in-person teaching. Difficult to see how that can help bring the virus under control.
Asked who is to blame, @DrJoGrady says universities spent the summer promising a student experience they couldn't deliver, while the government failed to develop the basic systems required, such as track and trace.
She said the absolute bare minimum that must now happen is:
•Allow students safe passage home or where they want to be
•Release students from accommodation contracts without financial penalty
•Move the majority of university work online
