Impact on daily life

Impact 24^th September
Oh dear!  Glasgow University has found 124 students who are positive for the virus.  The University thinks there are probably more.  There are 600 students who have to isolate now.  There are two halls of residences where the outbreaks are.  This has probably been caused by the social activities in the first week back – the Freshers week.   In Dundee University, 500 residents have to self isolate until contact tracing is complete because of three confirmed and some suspected coronavirus cases.  In Aberdeen 72 residents are self isolating after students tested positive.  Nicola Surgeon says it is not their fault but that all students need to follow the rules now.
Because of worries about new lockdown and more virus cases, the supermarkets think people might try to stockpile food and other supplies.  The managers of the shops are saying to people that there are enough supplies and there is no need for panic buying.
Boris says he wants there to be 500 thousand virus tests everyday by the end of October.  The problem is that the equipment and chemicals which are needed are not yet ready and they will take several weeks before they arrive.  The Boris-500 scheme may not be ready and installed in time.
