Not going to happen anyway. The whole Spain is under quarantine.

Just found this: https://www.rijnmond.nl/nieuws/193054/Meeste-coronapatienten-op-IC-zijn-jonger-dan-50-jaar Most of the coronavirus patients in the ICU in the Netherlands are under 50 years old.

I'm more of a crazy dog lady

There have been a few similar cases in China and South Korea too but it's inconclusive and it's suggested that it's likely a result of errors in testing rather than an actual reinfection. Can't rule it out though... and we don't know much about the length of immunity after recovery anyway so it's indeed a bit scary.

Just a small correction - it's not different strains but rather different viruses belonging to the same family.

Dutch researchers find first antibody which neutralises SARS-CoV-2. https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.03.11.987958v1

It's probably worth noting that those new cases are the results of the tests that happened some 5 days ago as it takes them that long to confirm the results (backlog due to high number of tests performed). So hopefully if the containment measures are working we should see a drop in new daily cases in about a week. Fingers crossed.

Will check it out, thank you! Yes I also always found it fascinating and wanted to move into the field when I was done with my Master's, but for various reasons that never happened. Python and data science in general is useful for my current job so it was a good reason to start the course anyway, the AI & ML part is just for my own interest though just struggling with the time a bit. I usually work 50+ hour weeks and have some other commitments, so it can be tricky to find additional 15-20 hours sometimes, especially since the practical problems are quite challenging and I'm often mentally exhausted after work. But I love it. Nearly finished with the introductory course now

I chose to give an inconclusive answer because I'm not sure

Doing a MIT course program on data science and programming using Python, with a hope to dive into artificial intelligence/machine learning afterwards

Nationwide quarantine is expected to be announced here sometime next week (reportedly once the first local transmission is confirmed) so I still have to buy more beer tomorrow just in case. Other than that, nothing has changed for me personally, really. I spend most of time at home working and studying anyway and don't get in contact with many people as I was supposed to stay here just temporarily (well it will definitely be longer than I expected now though). My favourite pub has closed yesterday as a precaution anyway so there's no temptation there either haha. I normally used to eat out almost every day but I reduced it to a minimum now and just cook at home or get food delivered/takeaway. Do grocery shopping twice a week or so; just like always. Other than that, just washing hands often but I've always been doing that anyway as I wear contacts so it's kind of routine... Doing pretty well otherwise. My workload has been pretty heavy lately and I also spend additional 15-20 hours on the course I'm currently doing online as well. Got some clarity in personal relationships too. Missing racing though.

Yes; they already closed all 16 temporary makeshift hospitals in Wuhan. Businesses and public transportation start resuming slowly.

He's not a chicken like me when it comes to horror movies

They also sent a few doctors who managed the oubreak in Wuhan as well as 30 tonnes of medical equipment and supplies to Italy too.

Much worse He regularly narrates me the whole detailed plot of pretty much every series he follows and gives regular updates on the new episodes. Have to admire his dedication. Even has a cool notebook where he keeps notes on his progress watching every show and what not He's a bloody pro I tell you; much better at streaming/downloading/finding stuff online at 78 years of age than most of the people in their 30s

Trust me, I'm an amateur compared to him Can't even recommend him anything or choose a movie to watch together because he's bloody seen them all!

For anyone interested - MotoGP are offering selected races to watch for free

My dad watches more on my account than I do

Pretty much agree with your assessment of each platform's main target audience (i.e. Prime leaning towards more mature audiences overall). Both have plenty of quality content that I watch but in general I feel like Prime caters to my tastes better than Netflix. I also like having the option to subscribe to additional channels for more specific content. There are probably huge regional differences when it comes to content though.

Yep he posted a bit earlier today saying the schools are closed and he'll be working from home/online so I didn't tag him

Over a 1000 new cases in Spain. @Carnivore Chris you're ok?

Bolsonaro tested positive apparently.

So Zandvoort could be the season opener now. Nice. Also I'm glad I didn't buy the flight and tickets to the Vietnam GP

Can't you get a sick leave?
