What's the incubation period of this virus anyway? It's easy for it to go undetected if the test is conducted too early? :mumble:

 

Most cases shows up to 2 weeks (median at 5-6 days), but a few indications that it could be higher.

But well. Though we've seen more new cases outside China, it could seem like it is contained in the Wuhan area with worldwide numbers of new cases at its 2nd lowest in february (only yesterday was lower).

 

The more worrying thing is that it's rising rather rapidly in South Korea, for example. Plus there's now all of a sudden the Iranian and Italian situations.

@heywoodu Dutch FM was just here today, do they test him in his way back home to Amsterdam ? :d

 

but the situation is getting more and more serious here. they cancelled all gatherings including all sport competitions (cancelled or will be played behind closed doors) nationwide and also closed schools and universities in several provinces including mine. :(

No way :p 

 

If he isn't sick, there's 'no reason to test him'. Although, worrying as it is, I would find it absolutely hilarious if Stef Blok ends up being the one to bring Covid-19 to the Netherlands.

So, we’re all screwed right? I haven’t been buying into the Covid19 rhetoric, but I’ve read some pieces from very respected reporters and experts who basically say we’re fucked. They say the Italian, Korean, and Iranian cases are what lead them to claim this. The fact that is so hard to detect means it can travel far before we can really do anything about it. Fighting Ebola was much easier than this.

 

I think we’ll see cases in California appear soon. We have way too many Chinese immigrants and expats to not be affected. At this point I can only wait.

    • Earlier today, Taiwan beat the USA    Of course it's car from the best US tram but it's still a big deal for Taiwanese baseball
    • And even here we lose to France? I really don't know what's the point of organizing the Olympics if you can't make progress in practically any sport. France has the Olympics in 2030 and there they will definitely prepare 100%, just like for Paris. We can't do that. It's obvious that in ski jumping we have no chance of winning medals, but decency dictates that we should at least win here with a France like that.
    • There is no snow in Lillehammer 
    • Finally the ski jumping season begins 11 teams in the (real) mixed team competition, no Switzerland.
    • Most of our athletes are constantly bothered by something: the pressure to qualify, the miss of pressure when they have already qualified, etc. It's the same in football: at the beginning of the season they are a poor form becouse of a little played and at the end of the season they are tired. They are always looking for excuses. A real champion always plays at a high level, like Sinner, and doesn`t look for 1000 excuses for his poor performance.
    • Think it is mentally difficult for the two teams with the Olympic place guaranteed and the pressure off, whereas everyone else is absolutely playing at 110%.  I'm sure things will be better once they get to Milan. 
    • There's no point in cheating, these were terrible European Championships for us. Retronaz out of form, Constantini with a huge number of big mistakes. Only illness can excuse it... We've probably lost the last 10 matches with Switzerland... It looks like Constantini had the tournament of her life in mixed doubles in 2022 in Beijing and she will never reach this level again.
    • What good is it to us if we took 4th place and lost an important match? If Constantini was sick, I forgive her, but I'm afraid that the Italian team will not exceed a certain level. Yes, they have made progress since 2022, but they lack that one decisive step to become a class team. Here we lost all important matches with teams at our/higher level: Sui x2, Sco x2, Swe. We only won with the one we were supposed to win with. I don't believe in a medal for this team in Cortina. After 2022, it seemed that Constantini could dominate women's curling, but it didn't happen that way. After Sinner's recent successes, I opened my eyes a bit and started to demand more from our athletes, coaches, and officials. I have no intention of being satisfied with 4th place, because with this approach, you won't achieve anything great.
    • play their best, but only get 1, so  get bronze 6-4!  
    • Oh dear, once again a 50% shot from Constantini when she needed 100%.   blank the end & go into the 10th with the Hammer of Thor.
