Have they confirmed people won't be able to catch it again or is that just a theory?

As of yet there are no high confidence findings about sufficiency of antibody production for immunity, how long such immunity might last after sufficient antibody production, of if the virus will mutate at a rate to render initial immunity via antibody production insufficient to prevent reinfection (endemic state vía strain variance).

But our response is based on the assumption that all of that will be optimal because there’s not much else that can be done given there are no high confidence findings the other way and modelling on those things not being optimal is a nightmare (literally and figuratively).

My Irish neighbour is working from home tomorrow.

He’s tarmacing his living room.

Are we allowed Irish jokes by the way?

That could be one of the big positives of this, people might just stop being offended by someone using a word or joke they consider 'offensive' and worry about things that really matter.

Can't see the police visiting anyone over the next few weeks because someone has complained about one of their facebook posts

I work in a school and one of the Teaching Assistants was off today because her son is showing symptoms of this.

From my understanding of the new guidelines, her whole house should be self-isolating for the next 14 days. BUT the headteacher has told her he expects her in work tomorrow if she has childcare arrangements because the new guidelines are contradictory for schools so because she doesn't have symptoms herself, she has to ignore the actual guidelines? Thoughts?

the advice is one person shows symptoms the whole house has to isolate for 14 days,they have no grounds to say she has to go in,they might be getting confused with schools not closing,she needs to send them the link with the official advice
 
When they say it's going to take months, I'm sure that's true but I think it will peak long before that, and that will be a good psychological moment for everyone

Social distancing if done properly must have a massive effect on virus tranmisson rates. no contact, the virus dies.

I find your first paragraph made sufficient use of the words sufficient and insufficient, sadly your following paragraph made insufficient use of such terms, suffice to say.

Such is the insufficient life of a data scientist.

I always calibrated the difference between a cold and flu by way of whether you wanked or not. No way anyone’s wanking whilst they’re in the eye of the storm of flu. Coming out the other end, maybe, mainly due to boredom overcoming fatigue.

Anyone know Covid-19’s impact on wanking levels?

It flattens the curve.
