@alxctts Same, saying they’re doing everything to help as if a Skype call with a tutor is actually going to match up to the help we’d get in person. At least we’re all in the same boat (no less stressful but slightly more comforting)

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.

@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.

@Peston @jeremycorbyn Why single out Corbyn Robert. Surely others in commons, lords will be 70 or over. Why not discuss them stopping parliament & lords sitting due to gatherings over 50, or 10 or 5 people. Can't they debate using Skype working in their constituency offices to help organise locally

@MathieuFleury I believe so. It's set up by people in the area to either help check in on isolated individuals, offer small services like dog walking for people worried about being outdoors, and a place for people in need of items, help, or a check-in (phone, email, Skype) to leave their info.

You can’t just wait with bated breath to see if it’s going to get worse. It will, but we can slow it down by taking drastic measures now. Classes are able to be taught online, face to face teaching can be moved to Skype/Lecture Capture/Canvas. It isn’t an impossible move.

@albinokid That’s would be an even worse situation. 27 Celsius is usually the line to greatly help with suppressing the spread. If that’s not happening, our diligence and adherence to social distancing now is ever more important. We’re setting up Zoom and Skype sessions to stay connected.

@ZahraBhimani Let me know if you need any help at all. Even happy to jump on a Skype call if you'd like. Also note that Cisco Webex has made their video conferencing free and Zoom always has a free tier, but it has limited attendees.

Small network issue with Skype this morning, but otherwise a pretty typical day when I choose to work from home. We did a load test on Friday to see how our VPN handles _many_ more teammates working remote. Ops made some tweaks and it's been good. 🏡

@mikeda71 You are right, but the problem is no one wants to do in person interviews anymore and Skype is incredible unreliable I am finding out haha
