Coronavirus: Has Anyone Had A Bit Of A Cold In The Past Couple Of Months?
I have, so here’s hoping.
// The coronavirus could have infected as much as half of the the UK’s population, according to researchers at the University of Oxford. If accurate, the results would mean the country has already acquired substantial “herd immunity” through the unrecognised spread of the illness.
The shutdown across the UK could be removed much sooner expected if the findings are confirmed //

A light on the horizon perhaps?

Jim, I’ve no idea who Gideon is, but given the disclaimer there, had you posted that in Science, under the new rules instigated by you it would probably have been zapped. As the article says, // If there’s one thing certain about the COVID-19 pandemic, it’s that everything we say now will probably be wrong by next week.//
Before making our minds up one way or another, let’s wait for the results of Oxford’s investigations. In troubled times a little optimism and a modicum of hope never goes amiss.

Also, nobody's making their minds up. It's simply that any reasonable evaluation of the Oxford study ought to treat its suggestion that half of the UK has had Covid by now with more than a little scepticism.
In the meantime, I'm saddened to see that my own predictions for where this was going in the UK have been fairly accurate. The good news is that, by their very nature, those predictions won't last too far into April before they break down.

Tbh, I think the new "guidelines" are awful. While it is very courageous for a social site to claim "all misleading information will be removed"- and put it on writing... clearly the lawyers are fine with that amount of responsibility, but most would be saying "the views on this site don't represent ours, blah blah".
Silencing people and not allowing people to ever be wrong... is a dangerous move. We have already have accurate posts removed. Maybe inaccurate remaining, I don't know yet. But I would love to see who these full-time experts are...
