Wow.

From 94 cases at Newcastle university last Friday, to 1003 students and 12 members of staff positive today.

Lets see what Bristol does shall we? @BristolUni, @UWEBristol - we& #39;re watching.

Don& #39;t say you had no warning in a week or two. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-tyne-54468127">https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-e...
In all fairness, respect to @BristolUni for doing this.

...transparency is hard to argue with.

So @UWEBristol "is" doing the same thing.

Unlike">https://www.uwe.ac.uk/news/coro... @BristolUni though, @UWEBristol doesn& #39;t seem to be separating out student v. staff cases. (Not sure why).

"University">https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-e... lecturers & #39;don& #39;t feel safe& #39; due to lack of mandatory face masks"

But Prof West [the VC and CEO] says the university& #39;s facilities are "covid-secure".
[Bristol] Here comes Lockdown 2, perhaps as soon as Wednesday.

"...everything could be closed except essential shops and educational settings, including nurseries, schools and universities"

Q: Still doing face to face teaching @BristolUni & @UWEBristol? https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/national-lockdown-looms-8mphnk5h9">https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/n...
[Bristol] Started following @ucu, (the union for lecturers [this thread taking me interesting places])
"...if England faces tighter restrictions from next week as expected, it would be “incomprehensible” for universities to continue face-to-face teaching." https://twitter.com/ucu/status/1322603990002094081">https://twitter.com/ucu/statu...
