I think this is the paper

It was a newspaper article I had read but this may very well be the study it was based on. I'll try and dig it out over the weekend to confirm, if I can find it, cheers @lancs blue.

This happened with SARS/MERS (one or both I think) so it’s not a huge jump to such a conclusion (one I’ve I hoped for myself).
But yep...he’s in different fields. Prof Brian Cox is a clever bloke but you won’t find him stepping in virologist/epidemiologist toes.
Still...it’s a nice thought.

There’s a lot of counter thought out at the moment tinged with light conspiratorial flavours:

From what I have read it would appear that there is another agent of the imune system that prevents Coronavirus infections. The older you get the less likely it operates. What this is, nobody seems to have a handle on yet. If say 40% of the (mainly yonger) population have it then a 25% infection rate MAY equate to herd immunity of around 65%
A lot more research needs to be done on those who don't catch it

Cheers bud. Even he seemed pretty shocked how much he got

Think it's legit as they aren't checking, whether claiming the grant when you are still earning is morally right is a different matter. Though if he's still earning but at a reduced level it may be fair enough.

Only the tax on it, he'll keep the rest.

yeh reduced level , he claimed legitimately but felt there is a catch somewhere

Please happen.

If it was anyone who had said that I'd be a lot more hopeful. He's extremely positive/hopeful to the point of irritation sometimes. Fingers crossed though!

Did you have a stammer in your finger at the beginning of that reply:)

I found it via this news article in Nature which links directly to the pdf.
