Not sure if I've reached the point where it's acceptable to wear a dressing gown over my clothes during a skype conference call. It's so cold in the flat but we're on a gas meter so don't want to put the heating on if I can help it 🥶

@DINGLEMUSIC You don’t say if you have tried Skype. You should be able to get this on your existing phone or laptop. Setting it up for the right angle will take trial and error. I’m new to it and will learn more as I go along but so far so good.

@ProfTomCotter Looking forward to seeing how this unfolds. There is no doubt notes would be used for online exams. I wonder if oral exams via Skype are the way forward. But still does not solve connectivity issues

@VincentRK @BldCancerDoc Agree. Imagine if after this we could see routine second opinions and follow up visits by FaceTime or Skype and bill more reasonably. Costs would go down, patient and provider happiness increase and quality would likely improve or at least stay the same. Just need fraud checks.

I talked by Skype to my mom right after this. Though a lot of my research lately has examined potential problems of technology for social relationships, at times like this it will allow us to feel much more connected than we otherwise could be.

@quirkyantiques I feel your pain - 5 days after my 88 year old dad fractured his humerus his care home went into lockdown. Daily phone calls and occasional Skype when the staff have time to help doesn’t really make up for hugs but knowing the virus would kill him if he caught it terrifying.

Another two weeks signed off for me, due to Glandular fever repercussions. Feeling guilty i can't help at work, lazy and that I'm not doing my bit. Going to read lots, gentle yoga to keep the body moving and find some e-learning! If anyone fancies a phone/skype let me know! 🌎

@waubonsee Skype is a virus and a terribly unorganized chat room compared to a discord server FYI. Both are free and one offers utility that can easily be taught quickly and the other one slows down every computer 🔥
