This week, the semester at the UEF officially started. And this year we had to take into account the prevailing situation and for example, our Opening Ceremony was held online. I must admit that this was the first time I was able to attend, as I watched it afterward at home on the couch! :)
The on-going semester will be in all ways hold in online, since all the possible teaching will be given online and needed contact teaching will be done in small groups. We for example had our yearly FinPharmaNet Meeting intended for Ph.D. students and their supervisors successfully online with poster presentations and panel discussion. And the main topic was, as you can guess, COVID-19 and the situation with the drug development.
However, it still makes one wonder, why on earth we make so much effort to protect each other, since students seem to have lively nightlife in relatively large groups and in relatively small places, like bars... :) Moreover, the restrictions concerning symptomatic children affects the most of the people at the working age. The school has been going less than a month and in our household, this is already a third time when we have symptoms! I wonder how much is going to affect learning, not only in our case, but overall nationwide.
Well let's just hope there will be a vaccine soon available, so we can go on and continue our lives!
