coming from a uni student in manchester, students are being locked in their flats with minimal access to fresh food/air and the only people who seem to care about this are other students? We’re blamed for the spike by the media so nobody cares that we’re being treated like this.

Feel like we need to constantly remind ourselves that the entire world doesn’t revolve around us.
Testing loyalties and claiming ‘nobody is there for you’ during a pandemic is narcissistic and manipulative.
