and we'll see how the British curve develops in the next days, as they ignored the problem for weeks now...

Not to mention the American curve...

Don't know if I would say ignored. They just have another way of dealing with it. Whether it's the right way is questionable, but we'll see.

UK ambassador in Tehran :d

 

he probably doesn't know we don't use toilet papers, we have another "technology" :lol:

 

but joking aside, nobody raids supermarkets here, they are still full like other days, I don't know what does that mean, to me that shows how people didn't take it seriously yet. I mean at least some of them.

That water thing seems like one of the most annoying things I can ever imagine :lol: Interesting how people are so completely used to two completely different things :d

Beijing's daily new patients first time surpassed Wuhan today, 5 vs 4, and all are imported cases, from Spain, Italy and Thailand. So Beijing announces from 16th March, whoever enters Beijing from overseas must be mandatorily quarantined for 14 days in government arranged hotels with passengers' own expense. I guess this policy will soon be adopted by all Chinese ports. With huge amounts overseas Chinese flee back to China, preventing imported cases becomes the first priority.

Out of curiousity: we all know the Chinese government is generally not very trustworthy, to say the least, so do people in China believe it is actually almost over (at least in China), or are they mostly still fearing there is way more to come?

    • North American rugby quotas ( and qualified automatically)    M: and W: and  
    • I remember Caroline Golubitsky. She competed with Vezzali for a while but not for long. Rita Konig, whom Vezzali defeated in the final of the Olympic Games in 2000, was more famous, as well as Sabine Bau and Anja Mueller. From what I remember, the Germans competed fiercely with us at some point, but they almost always lost.
    • Shemyakina won a bronze medal in 2014 Worlds and was one of our leader but leave the squad due to pregnancy (she has 2 daughters if I'm not mistaking, so she chose family instead of sport). And speaking of foil we have back in the day Sergiy Golubitskyi, who was Olympic silver medalist and won some medals in other competitions and coached his wife Caroline Golubitskyi - one of the German foil specialists. Even in women's foil we had medal in Women's foil at the European championship - it was Olha Leleiko, our current national coach. So no, we are pretty good fencing country, and depending on generations of our athletes some events are more "profitable" for us and some don't. 
    • Shemyakina that was a very strange story. She unexpectedly won the games but before and after she literally achieved nothing. After that success in 2012 she also completely disappeared. It's only in epee that such strange situations. That's why I've always preferred foil and sabre, because the top was more stable there, although that's changing now. The competition has grown a lot all over the world.
    • Sinner probably won't play in another edition of the Davis Cup. That shouldn't come as a surprise. Next season, Wimbledon and maybe Paris should be the goal.
    • No, our epee was good always, we have Shemyakina, who was Olympic Champion in 2012, Reizlin with bronze in 2020, medalists of Worlds like Kryvytska (who is our finisher today), Svichkar (who is our finisher in men's side) and Stankevych, European champion Kharkova, medals in other conpetitions from men's team epee who were one of the main contenders in Tokyo, but unfortunately failed to take a medal. 
    • Does Ukraine have good relations with Poland, or are they more cold, like, for example, Italy with France?
    • Until recently, Ukrainian fencing was just Kharlan and sabre. Maybe epee sometimes. I don't remember them ever was strong in foil. There was a time when Russia, Romania and Poland were strong in foil at that time when Italy dominated but I don't remember Ukraine anymore.   Hungarian women with Aida Mahomed were too strong for many years.
    • No surprise with Aaron Judge winning AL MVP and Shohei Ohtani winning NL MVP awards.   Ohtani is the second player in history to win MVP in both leagues. Frank Robinson (1961 Reds & 1966 Orioles) was the only one before.
