• On the upside, with all the distancing/quarantine I guess we all should at least enter a phase of "nearly nobody gets colds/flu"?

    Randall Munroe (he of xkcd fame) covers something similar in his What if? book where he attempts to answer the question of whether the common cold could be eradicated if everyone isolated themselves for a couple of weeks (or similar).

    Funnily enough he does mention that it would probably cause a serious collapse of the global economy so it was unlikely ever to happen. I don't think he foresaw it ever being forced upon us.

    If it can't be found online I'll take some photos (it's only a few pages) and upload it later. Have do a home-schooling ICT class now...
