The teaching facility that I work, just a few days before the lock down it was business as usual. We all knew that we were supposed to distance, but how? The cafe was chock full of students, the libraries full to bursting. All lectures full. Tiny corridoors, limited parking, 20 busses full of students.... And we ALL knew it was crazy. We can't magic up new buildings, or new classrooms or lecture halls. We lecture 20+ students in rooms that seat .... wait for it .... 20(ish) students. I have no idea how to social distance in there. Half students in? How do I teach half a class, then the other half? Do they magic up a second Monday for me to teach in? And half students, they are still less than 2m apart. Outside? Teaching IT and coding? Huh? Exams? Busses? The car park? Older / elderly lecturers - especially those in management. What do with they then? A fair few of our students are nurses so they know the risks and are happy to inform everyone. I think we'll open and just hope for the best. Some people are going to get sick and there's not much we can do to avoid it. Unless we stop education for a year.
