How does one work from home for an extended period of time without going insane? haha

Is it the same thing as me skipping all my lectures and tuts? because I seem to love doing it all from home

"Dr Kelly repeated calls for at-risk Australians to stay at home after Victorian police spot checks on returning travellers that had been ordered to self-isolate showed up to 10 per cent were not at home or had given a false address."

Im myself the same question after day 7 of working from home.

I actually feel more exhausted now. I'm also a bit over doing constant video calls with teams.

I feel like when working from home there should be a maximum time limits/amounts set on video calls.

That aside, they’ve now overtaken Italy.

If you want to talk about the “true” number infected then both the US and Italy (to a lesser extent) are very under-reported as well. The US testing regime was a mess early on and only recently has picked up. Italy has only been testing when more severe symptoms arise so they’re missing a lot of mild cases (that’s why their case mortality rate is so high).

Prince Charles shouldn't have been tested. He has it very mild case. Yet again, another rule for the "Royal Family".

Obviously the statistics are the best we have, but they are so unreliable (for a multitude of reasons) it's hard for anyone to draw real conclusions from them. Unfortunately, most people in society dont have a basic understanding of statistics which is why they seem to be so prominent.
