This just in! I’m surrounded by a country of idiots. I mean seriously, how uneducated is our population? How dumb do you have to be to think we’ve handled this well?

 

 Good luck to America. If Donald trump is elected as the president for a second term means goodbye and disasters.

One of the currently most popular Czech bands released a video clip and song - Dej si rouško - Wear a mask !

 

within the project we wear a mask - I protect you and you protect me

 

 

  Translated Lyrics in English

Spoiler

I met an elderly lady behind the counter in the store
She tells me, sir, what you have ? it won't help you anyway
That rag over your mouth just scares me
It's the end of the world no one can help us anymore

So I said her...


A mask, wear a mask
don't be shy, you protect me, and I protect you
A mask, wear a mask
Think also for others and not just about yourself

  Where am I supposed to take the mask?
When the world is missing them everywhere


So sew it yourself at home
After all, in the Japanese Sea
Fish also worn them
After all, in the Japanese Sea
they are also worn by fish
Fish also worn them


don't be shy, you protect me, and I protect you
A mask, wear a mask
Think of others and not just yourself
A mask, wear a mask
don't be shy, you protect me, and I protect you
A mask, wear a mask
Think also for others and not just about yourself


Jééé
Or a respirator
Think also for others and not just about yourself

Food delivery apps now offer 'no contact delivery' option, which it means they just put your food in front of the doorstep.

 

 

Meanwhile I had a package delivery which is stuck in a drop point located 3 km from my house for 2 days, people normally would be mad (the delivery service is infamous for being slow) but this time I just assume they are overwhelmed and I tried not to complain.

Over 3300 new cases and 230 new deaths in Spain....a country that doesn't have 1 daily update, but a few updates during the day and this is only the first one for today. Damn.

There is something I do not understand:

Croatia (168 cases according to worldometer) from tomorrow shuts down intercity public transport, Serbia (148 cases) did it already + nightly curfew enforced by their army

Italy in recent restriction prohibited visiting public parks and playgrounds . Surprised really that it did not so already (here the playground in the corner of the street I live in is cordoned off since Monday this week, and we had about ~110 cases).

Why there are not even more stringent controls in Italy? Does it have to do with the division of competences between the central government and the regional government?

    • there were rumors about it for quite a while, but as I wrote, it was never confirmed so, it might well be just some haters throwing out some shit on her 🤷
    • Where did you get that?   I'm not sure I would have considered her to have dissapeared from out of nowhere, at least since after Tokyo... she did win medals at the next two World Championships. I think it's just recently, she's been struggling with injury which is why she's completely out of form... 
    • Even though I'm not the biggest fan of her, always sucks to see a career ending through injury and not on your own terms 
    • This is going to have an effect on very likely 0 athletes, possibly 1 or 2 we don't really know about yet. It's really mostly the cheapest possible way for them to make a sort of political statement, without having any significant backlash since it won't really affect anyone at the top level of international sports.   Edit: worded a bit wrong, I was thrown off by everywhere 'trans women' being mentioned as the target of this. Of course there is also the somewhat larger category of DSD and the likes, which will certainly affect a few athletes - unfortunately they are often thrown under the bus or mentioned as 'not really women anyway' or something like that, despite, you know, being.
    • Mary Rand has died aged 86. The first British woman to win a Gold in track and field at the 1964 Tokyo Games (where she also took home a further two medals in the Women’s 4x100m relay and Pentathlon).
    • Athing Mu competed in the USA trials in 2024 and 2025 post the 2023 rule changes. She also won Gold in 2022 and Bronze in 2023.    Jelimo the jury is out. She doesn’t look male like the other two do.   
    • People focus on trans people because it's easier to pinpoint the affected athletes. Meanwhile it's the athletes with (suspected) DSDs that will have tougher time to convince the authorities and the public opinion that they belong to women's sports.
    • badminton queen Carolina Marin announced that she can't take part into the home Europeans in the upcoming weeks because of her injured knee and calls it a career 😭  
    • yes, there are (or there was, at least) don't forget that the women's 800m had world and olympic champions like Semenya, Jelimo and Nyonsaba...basically, it was 10 years of DSD winners only the same Athing Mu was suspected to be DSD (never confirmed, but somehow she totally disappeared after Tokyo) then, there were the 2 girls from Namibia (1 won a medal over 200m in Tokyo) in Italy we have the living scandal Valentina Petrillo (a paralympian!!!), who's actually a real man not to mention the weightlifter from who took part into the Tokyo Games so, it's a real problem all around the globe, not just a US crusade against a few woke idiots
