I just want to remind you of how student return to universities can be a net positive in COVID19. Although contact patterns are likely to go up, this group of young people are also in a more controlled situation where one can handle this high risk for transmission population

So for example one can systematically test - both swab tests and more pooling tests. I am like a stuck record on this, but wastewater testing should be great here with halls of residence - wastewater is nature's free, passive, pooling scheme

The second is that more control/nudging of this population can happen (this is not my expertise, but having large outdoor places undercover to have some level of responsible .... drinking, meeting etc seems v. sensible to me).

I'd highlight @uniofeastanglia as one place that really seems to have done well here in the first bit. edp24.co.uk/news/health/un…
