Sport Events Cancelled due to Coronavirus Outbreak

Now provide a link to a study providing evidence that vaccination for measles or rubella would help in preventing an infection by this coronavirus (otherwise it's just another "fact" pulled out of your ass). And also explain why South Tyrol, the only area with a disastrously low vaccination rate, is not the most affected.

 

I'm entitled to a personal opinion so spare me the "evdience" talk. It's obviously mass hysteria down in Italy so nobody wants to hear about any evidence either :whistle:

I’m pretty sure people do want to hear about evidence when talking about things like this. If you can’t provide evidence for the “cures” you claim, you’re no better than the Iranian minister who claimed people should shove cotton balls up their asses. 
 

There’s a huge difference between fact and opinion. You’re entitled to your opinion, but you shouldn’t go around telling people it’s the facts when you yourself can’t even prove it.

Would be interesting to see what Hungary will do. It is reported that the HU Gov is now deliberating about, among others, limiting or suspending sport events and the decision will be published in the coming hours.

It is said that indoor events with more than 100 spectators cannot go ahead - this means koniec for handball for example (either continue it without spectators or cancel it altogether like you did with hockey) - probaly the most watched indoor sport in Hungary.

Curious as to what happens with football - not so much for the spectators, as a lot a matches have -in football terms- very few spectators anyway :D

 

Wrestling olympic qualification?

People don't want to hear about anything, they just want to cancel everything and hide in their basements hoping the coronavirus goes away. Classic mass hysteria BS. I don't have to prove anything about a health issue on a sports forum :bye: Plus mass hysteria swamping the world is one for psychology which doesn't really fit the sports criteria either. We've seen pandemic disease cause panic and throw common sense out of the window before. Good thing there was no TV and internet during the Spanish flu pandemic 100 years ago :p

"I have facts"

 

"Ok, tell them."

 

"No because nobody wants to listen, but I have facts!"

 

"I'm all ears, please share them."

 

"No, the morons are talking loud enough, I won't share anything!"

 

Ugh.

It's hardly "mass hysteria".

 

What do you expect? That people would just shrug it off because having a new deadly virus is something that happens every other week?


What's more concerning is WHO still refusing to call it pandemics, even though plenty of experts suggest we are already way past that point.

    • So qualification isn't done, and the last few spots are very close with essentially one more race to go.   On the 6th and 7th Canada entered 6 racers in the lower tier North American cup races in Lake Placid. On the 11th there was races again in Lake Placid, Canada only entered 2 (articles say withdrew 4, start list on the 10th says 2 registered, whatever).  If the total amount entered was above 20 then the ranking points for first start at 120 and go down incrementally, with only 2 Canadians entered there were 19 competitors so points for first only start at 90.    The USA only has a shot at qualifying 2 sleds at this point, and Uhlaender appears to have had a shot at catching up to 2nd best among the americans. She came 1st, those 30 points really cost her if that is how the USA nominates their team.   The best 17 countries get one sled, based on how their top competitor is ranked.  is in 13th with 498 points,  is in 14th with 480,  15th 475,  16th 468,  17th 457,  18th 456 and no one else has the ability to gain enough points.  could have received 27 more points,  19 more,  21 more. So a big deal for them, and not appearing in the stories.   The accusation is that Canada did it for their own gain, to protect Channell's chance of qualifying: the 6 countries with the highest ranked 2nd best slider get a 2nd quota.  Channell holds the last spot at 512,  Erlacher is next at 484. Both only race at the World Cup level. However, the next best after that is  Simmchen at 391, who did race in Lake Placid and misses out on 25 points. Both her and her teammate would have to pass both Channell and Erlacher in the rankings for them to achieve a 2nd quota. A miraculous outcome, but that is what Uhlaender is accusing the Canadians of being afraid of. Could be, I don't think so but who knows.  
    • I see, wasn't sure if they had internal trials like Canada had in the past. So Uhlaender will receive 84 points, more possibly if she races again, and Ro has one more race. So very understandable why she would be upset. 
    • The American selection criteria is IBSF ranking as of January 18th. Currently:   15  Kelly Curtis 710 16  Alessandra Fumagalli 704 17  Mystique Ro 694 18  Valentina Margaglio 668 19  Sujung Hong 662 20  Katie Uhlaender 660   So those 30 points could be important depending on next weekend.
    • Regarding  and  :   The FIL documents refer to Part C.2.2. of the Qualification rules regarding Athlete eligibility, it seems the Canadian women's double is missing the minimum of timed runs in Cortina (c.2.2.1), whereas the other are missing the requirement under C.2.2.2
    • I am so confused at the whole thing   Can someone give a short summary of what is the actual issue, and what would have happened (as in, who would have qualified) if those Canadians who withdrew did start?
    • Agree. That article is completely non-sensical. No one understands the qualification system apart from actually Cecchini. And the ones who technically could be upset (e.g. Austria) are not mentioned. :D   And the Israelis athlete is interestingly the woman who just drove down the halfpipe at the 2018 Olympics.   Plus, that race did get Johansen into the quota slot for 
    • Other than the Reuters article it is all pretty badly presented. What I find comical is, if true, the Israeli and Maltese federations were upset. LOL, so far out of contention but mad about five to ten points when they need hundreds.  and  are right on the edge and lose key points so I would understand them being upset, but Uhlaender? All three americans would have to overtake the 3rd best british slider, it would take divine intervention to accomplish. So she is upset, but it is not rational to blame the Canadian coach. It must be very frustrating to not be racing in the World Cup, climb into the top 20 in rankings, and it still not be enough.
