First Corona victim in Europe...

 

Although it was a Chinese tourist. Not to mean 'oh so it's not sad' obviously, but it doesn't say too much yet about the spread of Covid-19.

A good dose of common sense, since there's a whole bunch of corona viruses and this is simply not 'the corona virus'? :p

You don't think it added to their sales? 

It's a rather tasteless joke, but I've seen plenty drinking it just due to the virus.

I wouldn't really know. One of my friends described Corona as disgusting, and that's just about the closest I ever got to it. :p

Corona is very popular here in California. Probably the most popular Mexican beer, but I’m not a drinker, so I’m not sure.

This mostly. Bad publicity is still publicity, their name has never been as much in the news as the past month :p

Yeah, they are known to have massive product placement in the Fast & Furious franchise. :lol: I don't think having their name associated with deadly virus is very flattering. :p

I'm absolutely no fan of the beer myself. Not even for the warm summer days that they should be really great for.

But I've seen plenty of mentions of people drinking it by the Chinese embassies around the world.

    • Podium finish in the men’s race for  Filippov. It is the first podium of the winter season for a neutral/Russian athlete.
    • that's basically last year's IA Division Worlds roster the only new name is Finoro so, the names might well be there
    • I will do my best to organise a pairs competition also involving nations from the 4 teams that are eliminated in the first half of the team competition along with the lowest ranked individual nations at the halfway point (end of session 2) to form 8 pairs. Pairs will be balanced so that the highest ranked nation in the competition will be paired with the lowest ranked nation, second highest with the second lowest and so on. All of that will be based on the individual ranking at the halfway point.   This way every nation will have at least interest in some event until the end of the 3rd session.   I will probably base it closely on @mrv86‘s proposed rules, and have sprints every 3 rounds of votes. The pairs with most medals from those 3 rounds get the points along with an extra bonus for medal and points doubles.   I do only have 1 day to organise this now so I can’t promise anything though.

    • The two-woman quota is based upon the "combined" ranking. The 6 best monobob + 6 best 2-woman results are taken into account at the moment (7 once this week's WC race has been raced).  Weiszewski competed in Europe Cup yesterday in the monobob, finishing 2nd, which gave her 110 points. This was her 7th monobob race, so this result replaced her worst (80 points), helping her leapfrog Cernanska by 8 points. At this point I guess she's in a better spot, as she's got the same room for improvement in the two-woman today, while Cernanska probably won't compete that well in the WC.
