When hiring, I'll be crossing off any qualifications earned in 2020. As well as the results being 'fake', the actual learning was in most cases not being done because the students knew they could chill at home and not learn. Sure, some students were studying, but as an employer I don't want to take that risk.

Would you want your doctor to be the one who messed around on TikTok for the whole year of his final exams?

Well they still have six years of medical school to get through. Perhaps the dropout rate for that will be higher.
