wearing mask doesn't help much if you are healthy. but that brings up another risk. you usually touch your mask with your hands and they are not always clean.

 

since my office in Tehran is closed for 1.5 months, I only had to go to supermarket in past 2 weeks  but today morning I had to go to a public place for the first time since the spread of coronavirus,insurance company actually for fixing some errors in a previous project we finished there and I think something like 40 or 50 percents of visitors were wearing masks. 70% (including myself) were wearing gloves.

 

most people take this very seriously, I assume the numbers will drop in Iran after a week or so. but still it was a very sad image, people almost don't talk to each other (which is very non-Iranian) this time of the year couple weeks before our "new year" you always could see people shopping etc. :cry: hopefully things will get better before the new year celebration :pope:

 

we had +500 new cases yesterday and +800 today, total number is 2336 and 77 deaths :cry: two cities are in critical condition, Qom and Rasht .

@MHSN seems to be the most rational guess.

 

But just stressing that last point: yeah, hopefully no one :p 

 

He seems to be taking proper precautions though.

Yeah it's about finding a mix between who is taking proper precautions (like him) and who isn't (like me) and who is living in a country where it's spreading fast (like him) and where it isn't yet (like....I don't know :lol: ).

Plus USA, since 6 deaths already suggests a way higher number of cases than they're reporting/finding (considering people are barely being tested).

Our death count is high because the virus found its way into a nursing home. Our numbers are very much correct.

Not saying the numbers aren't correct, just that the number of tests being done is so incredibly low - at least a few days ago - that it's reasonable to assume USA is detecting an even smaller portion of cases than most of the world.

Still 0 cases in Slovakia, but it looks sometimes like we are taking measures like we're right in the middle of an epidemic

 

For example today the city of Bratislava has adopted several preventive measures for the new coronavirus - COVID-19, which is spreading throughout the world.

The Municipality started a complete and immediate disinfection of all public transport vehicles, instructed the members of the City Crisis Staff to be ready, purchased sanitary and disinfectants for all employees and ordered restrictions on visits to the senior citizens' establishments in the city to people who have recently visited the COVID- 19th zones.

    • Alpine skiing also we have a lot of problems: the men's team is very weak and has been winning a few podiums a season for several years and the our best skier- Dominik Paris is 35. We still have a strong women's team but 3 of the 4 leaders are over 30 (Goggia, Brignone, Curtoni) and Bassino is 28. Another 2 years and we will have the same problem as the men's. There is basically no cross-country skiing without Pellegrino for many years, biathlon is based on 2 individuals with one of them has a 35 years. Vittozzi's injury was enough and we haven`t a single podium this season after 3 stages of the World Cup. As for 1 year to the home games the situation isn`t optimistic.
    • Hail to the Reds... Commanders. First time since 1991 Washington QB has thrown 5 TD passes in a game (which isn't all that improbable in the modern game alas Dan Snyder...)    
    • Italy is much better in alpine skiing, in The end all Nations have a Limited Talent Pool. Norway is far better than Sweden/Finland in Cross-Country skiing, alpine skiing and Biathlon, but Sweden/Finland are far better in ice Hockey.  Great Britain wins far more medals than Germany At Summer olympics, but GB is also inexistant in Winter Sports and Most popular Team Sports (Volleyball, Handball, Basketball, Ich Hockey).  
    • Thanks, great stat! Tannheimer wont turn 20 until August 2025, so she has The whole Season To Join Kristiansen and Neuner. Too Bad that she was ill this week. I think Galmace Paulin and Tänglander could also do it. I think Grotian (born 2004) is The First female Biathlete born after 1999 To make a World Cup Podium. On The Mens side multiple Athletes (Perrot, Giacomel, Uldal) have already done it.   E. Öberg was 22 and a half when she First won.  Dahlmeier was 21 and a half.   Edit: Grotian only narrowly missed The Podium in The Individual at The 2024 World Championships when she was still  19 year old.
