Coronavirus: Uni students hold massive flat party 200m from closed high school

The fact that this is getting so much attention is mind blowing. It’s completely twisted. That party started at about 10:00am, the public found out about the first case at 3:40pm. We didn’t find out about the child and his school until 4:40pm. By that time everyone had been there almost SEVEN hours. Stuff is acting like students found out and then threw a party right next to the school on purpose. Just inflammatory bs.

None of the communications we’ve received from the university mention limiting gatherings, unlike what it suggests in the article. It’s hardly like those partygoers are dramatically increasing their risk either, we’re already sitting in stuffy lecture theatres with 100s of students for hours everyday. Blame the uni if you really want to point fingers.
