In case you hadn’t noticed, students tend to have parents who are older than them, sometimes by quite a few years, and sometimes even visit their grandparents, who are usually much older and almost never younger. To suggest that because the virus doesn’t much affect student-aged people and therefore passing it around like a bong is A-OK is the height of idiocy.
If Public Health says the gathering is a bad idea, the police should close the area and water cannon anyone who disobeys.
Of course, not being a public health expert I don’t actually know if cancelling the event is indicated, but if it is then it should be done so forcefully.
