  1. That should close Olympic Qualification for team event
  2. Just as I promised I made millefoglie which may be known, or at least be similar to, Napoleon (napoleonka in East Europe?)
  3. Wasn’t he competing for Italy? And, above all, wasn’t he Canadian?
  4. As far as you know, is there a board game having Olympics as the theme?
  5. This topic was quite abandoned since I stopped attending the forum. Quite bad, this needs to be updated :D
  6. Hello, I'm back here hope you've been well in these, let's say, 4 years
  7. Especially because it is automatically converted. You only need to understand and remember some basic commands, for example to use flags
  8. A normal price in Italy (so, before emergency) for a single FFP3 mask was nearly 5 euro. They were typically sold on multiple packs, so you could pay more or less 50 euros for 10 masks. FFP2 were paid half, while surgery ones are really cheap, (10s of cents for a single mask)
  9. Because luckily not everyone living in South Italy is stupid, plus limitations were immediately started to be respected in a lot of places through the whole country, so in South we had time to get prepared. Plus, and I am speaking for my region, the treatment with tocilizumab helped in making a faster exchange on intensive care patients. This is particularly important because each day you can retard saturation of intensive care, is a week less of lasting of the spreading
  10. the key word is eurobond*, no for "fuck you" and yes for "finally" *shared deficit, I don't know how it is defined outside Italy
  11. Mainly three factors should be considered: 1) especially in Lombardy, a lot of people kept on reuniting and considering the jobs marked as essentials, in practice nearly half of the people living there kept a "normal life" -> go to job, stay in close contact etc; 2) it seems like, especially in Lombardy which is responsible for 2/3 of daily cases, that there's something wrong in the hospitals, I mean: it seems like that it is spreading through the hospitals, as it started in practice; 3) as I wrote before on the forum, on 9th March restrictions started to happen and in that day (and the next weekend) a lot of people travelled from the North to the South of Italy. Considering a median value of incubation time of 14 days, plus 3-4 days for relatively severe symptoms to appear, you reach more or less 26th March and I already wrote that the end of this week will make a very important point. Consider, in addition, that a lot of people making this travel were not exactly really smart, so some of them kept on going for shopping, pharmacies and it was estimated that 15% of people moving could have potentially had at least 1 symptom.
  12. I'm very puzzled about the number of recovered patients, I hope in 2 or 3 days there will be an increase of numbers in absolute terms. Otherwise, I really cannot understand how long this infection may last
  13. yes, press conference confirmed this, together with nearly 500 recovered and a total increase of slightly less than 6000 new cases, in low decrease in comparison to yesterday. 2/3 of deaths located in Lombardy alone, with a reported number of +120 patients in intensive care in the whole country, rising in almost all Italy with exception of Campania, Trentino, Sudtirol Sardinia and Marche (this one being significantly important, considering that it has a high ratio of cases to population)
  14. I mean: you could focus on writing “historical reviews”, for example day by day or sport by sport, just to keep trained
  15. I remember you are a reporter/journalist. What is a journalist without an historic archive and the chance of make advantage of it?
  16. antimalarial drugs have a lot of side effects, some of them fatal, and should be taken only in case of malaria, obviously. Or, at least, under medical control. If any of you believes that any antimalarial drug may be beneficial to his/her own health, please drink tonic water and stay away from pills.
  17. Well, I almost make a rho for a P
  18. Upper Paper: "The shop will open as soon as possible when emergency will be over. Stay strong, God loves us!" Lower Paper: "Imagine if he couldn't stand us" * *edulcorate transduction
  19. Today slightly more than 1000 recovered, but still nearly 700 deaths, with 5200 new cases. However, these data are better than those of yesterday. I was also giving a look at the number of patients recovered in intensive care, it seems that apart from Lombardy we can still take care of it, although with very very much fatigue. In addition to this, I gave a special look to data in Campania, my region: -58 person in intensive care, although today 18 new deaths were registered. As the Cotugno and Pascale hospitals in Naples were the first in Italy to test the tocilizumab drug, this MAY, (let me underline that it MAY), indicate that this drug can attenuate symptoms and give more time to the body to fight the virus.
  20. The numbers are important especially as far they concern patients being recovered in hospitals, because if they start diminish, than the virus spread is losing strength. Two good points, however, do not make a trend. Once we reach 5 points, we could start thinking that we are on the right way. If by the end of the week numbers will not dramatically increase in South Italy, (meaning that we will have numbers as in the last weekend but evenly spread on the whole country instead that focused in Lombardia), in that case things will be on the right track
  21. At the moment, I think that massive testing in Italy is almost useless, especially in Lombardia. It could make more sense in places where spreading is relatively limited, but since lockdown is already on that is the best “cure”. I would focus on screening workers that cannot stay home from job, but still the problem is that we have a low testing capability compared to that we need.
