The student life has fallen far short of expectation over the last year In the first of a three-part series on how the pandemic has affected university life, Helen Chandler-Wilde explores how the current cohort of university students have suffered They were so desperate that they pinned pleas for help in the windows: “SOS”, read one; “Send food”, read another. All 500 students in Parker House, Dundee, were confined to their tiny bedrooms for two weeks after an outbreak of Covid-19 in the halls of residence last September. It was a particularly severe lockdown. The safety-proofed windows only opened a crack, so fresh air was at a premium. The laundry room was shut down, so students spent two weeks in dirty clothes.

The coronavirus pandemic has caused government debt to soar and led to calls for substantial new levies on the rich. The argument goes that the wealthy should pay their fair share and growing inequality must be addressed. Switzerland is supposed to offer a template.
