    And in the US - Fauci said he'll be Zooming with his 3 adult daughters this Thanksgiving.
    The girls want to keep their aged father safe for the World.

    I am sure Fauci will be celebrating a very special Thanksgiving this year

    What about international students in the UK, any special arrangements for them?

    Just watched an interview with a Conservative MP regarding this. She said universities have been told to have care and support in place for those that will stay at university over Christmas and that they expect more students to be staying this Christmas than usual.

    They can return home anytime.

    If an international student chooses to return home, ultimately it is for them to decide whether they do so. However, students planning to travel should adhere to PHE advice while in the UK to ensure they are travelling safely. Students should not travel if they have symptoms of coronavirus (COVID-19) or are part of a household group which is self-isolating.

    Moved this out from the general UK lockdown thread - seems like a whole lot of nonsense is going down in the UK.

    In Manchester the students have decided to strike / occupy and the cops have been called in.

    Also, not covered here previously - Wales has already cancelled GCSE and A-Levels exams for 2021. I suspect others will follow - not sure at all. Also not sure why they've cancelled so early - I assume to remove some uncertainty in university applications which are currently in progress.
