This title says it all.
I was going to start a similar thread. I have just started working from home although that is only 50-60% of what I can cover.davenn said:So far I'm still going to work, unlike my wife, I cannot do my job from home, I need all the test gear etc.
How much longer it's going to continue, I don't know
But, PF is just a good place to hang out regardless of what else is going on out there Dave

Any numbers?
Excellent! Gotta wait for access, though.atyy said:Go read physics textbooks then discuss on PF

Covid-19: A message to our customers
The impact of the Coronavirus pandemic is posing huge challenges for teachers, researchers and learners. At Cambridge University Press we are committed to supporting you at this difficult time.
Academic publishing
The Press has made all Academic higher education textbooks free to access online. All 700 textbooks published and currently available in HTML format on Cambridge Core can now be accessed free until the end of May, regardless of whether they were previously purchased. We are also providing free access to research related to the coronavirus. The Press plays a global role in education and research and shares its University’s mission to contribute to society through its work. Sharing that research can play an important role in tackling shared threats such as this. More than 80 relevant book chapters and journal articles are available, drawn from journals including Epidemiology & Infection; Prehospital and Disaster Medicine; Infection Control & Hospital Epidemiology, and from Animal Health Research Reviews, among others. Future articles will be added to the collection once they have been published.
Due to performance issues caused by unprecedented demand and reported misuse, we have had to temporarily remove the free access to textbooks. We apologise for the inconvenience caused and are working to address these concerns to reinstate free access as soon as possible.
Depends on the measures each country takes. China went for the online teaching route. It was a hilarious (at least for me) chaos. Most teachers were teaching through social network or video conferencing apps. A lecturer's got his account banned 3 seconds into the course because he was teaching female physiology, and the monitoring algorithm thought he was distributing porn. A popular app that decided to offer free services to teachers got review bombed by angry high school and primary school kids, angry because they thought they were getting extended holidays but the app ruined it.BillTre said:With the schools closed, I bet there will be a decrease in the number homework posts.

Exactly -- I was about to say the same thing.atyy said:Go read physics textbooks then discuss on PF
