While I can see the logic in what Mike T is saying, I do worry that the cure may be worse than the disease [or, to be pedantic, the prevention measure may be worse than the problem being prevented]. Thinking back to when I was a first-year student, if I had been locked in my hall of residence for 14 days, they would probably have been scraping the remains of my body off the pavement below my room window before the fortnight was up. I won't be surprised if there is some serious disorder in some universities within the next week or two.
