Surely if they are only infecting each other then its a good thing if the incidence of re-infection is miniscule - herd immunity?

Most of these have mild or no symptoms at all

Fortunate then that they are only infecting each other. Could bee that they only hVe student virus which only affects other students.

I guess the security guards cleaners lecturers and shop workers all got a different strain of non student Covid

Last April/May you were telling me your parents wouldn't if they died as long as the young people carried on and it was good for the economy.

Then again, as long as Granny has the power of positivity I'm sure she will be ok?

Not to mention parents or grandparents who they will return to and who may just want to see their family at some point.
Maybe we should put barbed wire and a few land mines around each Uni, to keep the students safe. After all, they're already locked in their cells, sorry, I mean bedrooms.

Doubt there will be many cleaners in student accomodation - nor many shop workers?

There are some cleaners, which depends on how much students are paying for their hall of residence. There won't be any shop workers as such, but stuff is being delivered to students who are self isolating. Cannot tell you who by, though.

There may well be some logic to that happening. The Christmas holidays aren't going to be an easy relaxing time for folk due to many different reasons.

The world has certainly changed since my youth and that of my children - they certainly would have developed immunity to most things given their living arrangements

Within a month most students will have been exposed to the virus and with not be able to pass it on - let them crack on. Rates in Leeds are already on the decline
