Here's an interesting question and I'm a bit torn by it.
My fiance hasn't seen her parents since January as they are based in England and obviously travel is off the menu. She was supposed to see them in October but the change of tiers and imminent lockdown in England put paid to that. The real issue is they haven't seen my daughter in a year and at 2 to 3 year old that's a big chunk of time. We had planned for them to come to us for Christmas this year whilst covid was still a distant concern in China.
They are still quite keen to visit us, I'm wary and my fiance knows why I am wary but the desire to see her parents and have them see their granddaughter is a big pressure. So my question is would it be totally immoral for us all to book tests for say the 22nd or 23rd December before they traveled? My gut instinct is that we shouldn't but I can see, if not agree with, the argument for doing so? I know the obvious answer is to stand my ground but it's an emotive subject and that is easier said than done.

The availability for Edinburgh looks good for the next few days and it seems a similar situation where they are but all the same....PM Awards General Poster of The Year 2015, 2016, 2017. Probably robbed in other years

A lot of people will be holding onto the hope they can see loved ones for the first time in almost a year. A lot of people go on about the youth and "the lost years". They have their whole lives ahead of them. Nothing compared to the older generation who might not see another Christmas.

I am not clear why you need the tests. The rules as they are at present mean the visit is allowed. I understand why you may want them though

You would probably be better all isolating for a week before the visit rather than having tests with no symptoms.

We've spent the last 9 months living with restrictions precisely to protect the NHS from this sort of pressure.
What's being proposed next week is bordering on criminal negligence.

Agreed, it's an utter disgrace, we should be getting told it's not happening, commit to vaccinating the country by June/July and give us a week off to celebrate. This is going to be a complete disaster IF they go ahead and toe the "we trust the people to be sensible" line.

That was why my argument was that getting tests seems immoral. They are for people who have symptoms but it's a tick box exercise and easily circumvented.
I wish there was just a ban on visits and it would be problem solved tbh.PM Awards General Poster of The Year 2015, 2016, 2017. Probably robbed in other years

You taking a couple of tests for some family time is nothing by comparison.

We are told to 'use common sense'. I think in this case you are protecting the well-being and mental health of yours and your extended family. In addition, how many people needing testing are not able to do so at this time? Very few I'd suggest, It feels like a humane act to me and i certainly wouldn't criticise you for it, I'd probably do the same.
You've contributed constructively here and no doubt elsewhere throughout the pandemic. It's not been a walk in the park for you either consdering employment issues etc. Go get your tests mate, just do it and be with the family.

University of Nottingham declared over 1,500 students with infections almost immediately after their return. Nottingham Trent University (similar size) refused to publish any figures so we can easily assume similar.
People in Nottingham would certainly agree that it's not 'all' students who are partying, however significant amounts of them are and the right to be able to state that which we see with our own eyes is reserved. Just to say I am not anti-student, quite the opposite, having worked in two universities for a number of year, one of them in a role directly supporting students.
