Check out Coursera for Campus. Basically let's schools augment their tuition with online material from more celebrated academics/schools. That's been going about a year now, and I could very much see a situation where superstars in a field earn a lot, with the rest struggling.

Yo Bruce how are you doing tonight.

As is standard in the health conference or training circuit. Same faces churning out the same messages or work limited to a select number of organisations.

Que sera, sera

It's kinda the ethos of the digital economy, with a hollowed middle and much of the gains going to the stars. Means students at Huddersfield can be 'taught' by someone from Stanford, but kinda leaves the academic at Huddersfield somewhat vulnerable.

If the number of new cases being registered each day is correct then I should be safe to go out when I’m about 180. Put a pint behind the bar for me

No probs, that’ll be £2,354.72p..........

The virus will come in waves. Hospitality will be hit on that basis and the owners of those businesses need to dig into their vast profits if they want to come out the other end. The govenment cant just walk away from it either...and wont - it's politically not possible to do so.

I would laugh but I’m too busy crying.......

Death rates are back to normal, the Covid deaths could just as easily have been old age or heart disease......

I asked the other poster that made a similar post, so I should probably ask you the same. Do you have evidence they are not Covid deaths or did you just make it up?

 

[whiteshadow]

Oh aye, that's very true.

If we knew we could open up society and, via whatever means, keep COVID deaths at a couple of hundred per week, then those deaths, at a national level as opposed to a personal level, would get lost in the noise of 550 to 600k deaths a year.

But, to get to that point we need treatments, probably of broadly two kinds. One which can save the vast majority of people getting hospitalised who are currently dying, and another to treat people before they need hospitalising ( to ensure we have enough beds and staff to cope with both COVID and day to day stuff ).

Until we get those, and/or a safe, efficient vaccine, then some restrictions will be needed, and the above focuses purely on deaths and ignores non-fatal life changing complications.

They have a nebuliser in stage three trials that stopped disease progression in 79% of people. Hopefully that will be in use in the near future.
