Well readers, I do hope you are all keeping in good form. I’m just after reading that universities are going to start moving to a hybrid method of operation. Yes you’ve guessed it, they want to reduce to the risk due to the coronavirus and they now want to keep students off campus as much as possible and instead go online as if they are an inconvenience rather than the central plank of the whole thing.
It got me thinking. Like, have these people never heard of youtube. This part of the market is already cornered. And the main problem for the universities is it is for free. Want to learn advanced Maths? It’s all there. Universities always had “college life” on their side. But what insane kind of individual is going to sign up to four years of drudgery, with no sex or alcohol and large debt afterward , rather than go elsewhere and learn it faster. I know that I wouldn’t anyway.
As for teachers and their precious existence, it’s like they want to show the world that they can done without. Even the slightest risk is too high a price to pay. Perhaps the government should just fire them all to keep them permanently happy.
But the worst reaction to the virus has surely has to be from the main Churches in Ireland, which allegedly still believe in an afterlife. That both seems to have long sailed. They couldn’t shut fast enough, long ago having becoming more concerned with flesh than souls. No doubt they’ll be last to reopen too, when they are sure there is no longer a threat to their earthly existence.
The first part of my latest novel will be put up over the weekend. Don’t forget to like, comment and share. Till next time..
