Re: Coronavirus
Looks like The Sun once again has the exclusive on the change of rules. Christmas may see restrictions lifted for 5 days started December 24th.
(I initially thought it had been decided, it seems it's being 'looked at' instead)

And New Year sees a further lockdown as a result... Christmas should be irrelevant otherwise we're stringing this out for longer. Its one year and folks might have to accept Christmas will be different. Many will enjoy it a lot more without relatives anyway

Christmas will get the brucey bonus of school closures to bring down infections. Probably more than offsetting the what is temporarily permitted.

I think they have to be tested before they can leave uni. Ask to see proof of this before extending your hospitality.

Not sure how that works if they're not living in halls/on campus. After the first year most are on privately rented accommodation. However as long as he's bearing alcoholic gifts, and no cough, suppose I"ll let him in....

bah humbug.
At house Pierre we have already decided to flout the rules if they are in force. immediate family Parents, sisters, nieces will all be coming over for Christmas dinner as they do every year.
I suspect many other will be doing the same, which is why it is unenforceable and therefore the only sensible thing to do is pause any restrictions.
Good luck to the police for New Years eve as the given what the last year has been like the dawning of the new one will be celebrated.

Re: Coronavirus
50,000 of 5,000,000 is 1%.
50,000 x 100 = 5,000,000

You need to multiple by 100 to get it expressed as a percentage.
So 50,000/5,000,000 = 0.01 *100 = 1.
