Im really sory to read that, i know what is having gastric problems for stress.....and your "stress situation" is worse than all i lived.

 

yeah, actually my problems didn't come originally (only) because of stressful situations...it's more complicated...

 

luckily I could at least improve my situation with treatments and medicines, but first my mom's health troubles (breast cancer in 2011 and leukemia in 2015, then she died in 2017) and now this experience for sure are not helping me at all...

Anyone who says "we found a vaccine" this fast is lying, that one's easy (but I didn't read anything where they actually claimed that).

 

And it is perfectly possible to think at that early stage they couldn't prove human-to-human transmission (yet).

 

it's not so obvious...

 

someone might well have found a vaccine, but the real problem is that normally 12/18 months are needed to have all the necessary tests to be completed before it's made available to the public...

 

so, even if they already found a vaccine, we won't have any chance to use it at least until mid-/late 2021, which is what is more scary about the next months

 

p.s. it looks that the German group CureVacc has actually found something that might lead to an effective vaccine, otherwise it wouldn't make sense all the attempt of most of the "big pharma" companies to get access to those studies...

 

luckily, the EU optioned those studies for 80 millions € to make them public for free, not to have any risk that any speculator from those pharma companies would try to buy and sell the final product at a scandalous price...

Right, I should have said 'a workable vaccine'.

The only positive side about Corona is that air is less polluted,  there's much less noise, people finally started to care about their personal clean less to be humans simply and not trying to harm environment more, it could have been much better if world from a month ago took these steps and all people around world just stayed at home for 2 weeks

I don't see North Korea there :dunno: 

 

Yesterday 18 cases had :PAR and :COD

Some english language media didnt include them in the list of countries without COVID, plus i made a mistake thinking that DRC is North Korea. They are actually PRK.

Today Conte (italian frist minister( sill do a press release. There are rumors of a strict lockdown

 

Lombardy and Piedmont have already announced a stricter lockdown (until april 15th and april 3rd respectively)...

 

here in Lombardy only pharmacies, supermarkets and newsstands will continue to be available to the audience (but with stricter norms about the distance between the people in line waiting their turn to buy what they need)...

 

full stop for any outdoor sport activity (even if you're alone)...

    • I think the biggest problem for Australian football is how big the roster size is.   Rugby League Nines might be a more realistic "out there" selection.
    • If lacrosse can be selected then I don't see why Australian rules football can't be selected if they get Olympic sport recognition. Australia will obviously dominate, but there's enough other nations to make a tournament.   As for netball, a women's only event is still much more likely to be accepted than a men's only event. Australia and the netball federation can spin it as bringing equality to the number of men's and women's events (while obviously ignoring that there will be more women at the Olympics).
    • The NFL are pushing had to develop flag football in Australia in hopes of getting it included in 2032. I hope they fail tbh.   Single gender sports fail the gender equality requirement so netball is out unless they can rapidly fix their gender problem. World Netball not so long ago was refusing utterly to sanction men's international netball or even support the growth of men's netball so they kind of sabotaged themselves and are only changing courses out of self interest because Brisbane was awarded the Olympics.   It doesn't even make sense to propose Aussie rules given how poor the participation is outside of Australia.
    • - Great Britain Team Size Prediction for Winter Olympic Games 2026 Milano Cortina   Ski Sports   Alpine Skiing  (4) - The qualification system is a bit confusing, but from what I gather the team is Guaranteed 2 quotas (one for each gender), and then more are given for rankings. I can only see 1 female qualifying, but the men's team is a bit stronger, and could improve with some juniors coming through. I would say a baseline of 3, with a max of 5, 6 if things really improve.  Cross Country Skiing  (3) - The men's team came 11th in the world cup last year, and with some good results could move up to top 10 which would give 3 quotas, The women's team is non existant.  Ski Jumping  (0) - Nope Nordic Combined  (0) - Nope Freestyle Skiing  (6) - Based on last year rankings, the athletes are ranked: M Moguls (26/30), M Ski Cross (26/32), M Halfpipe (33/25), M Slopestyle (39+40/30) W Moguls (23+42/30), W Halfpipe (3/25), W Big Air (5/30), W Slopestyle (19+22/30)  Barring Injury , thats 2 quotas on the women's side, and I would predict 4 more, with a max team of 7 or 8. Snowboarding  (2) - W Halfpipe (34/25) is the only unknown quota, as both Charlotte Bankes and Mia Brookes should qualify easily. Huw Nightlingale may get a spot for the Mixed Team snowboard cross but I don't know how it works. Biathlon  (0) - Nope Ski Mountaineering  (0) - Nope     Skating Sports   Speed Skating  (2) - Cornelius Kersten and Elia Smelding should qualify, although they both haven't competed this year. Short Track Speed Skating  (2) - A team of 5 went to the world but only a couple could really qualify Figure Skating  (4) - Fear and Gibson should qualify, and the pair team is ranked 16th in the world with 19 qualifiers.      Sleigh Sports   Luge  (0) - Nope Skeleton  (6) - A full team is certainly on the cards, but with only ranking points from the next season counting a lot could change Bobsleigh  (6) - Brad Hall and Co should qualify for both 2 and 4 man. I doubt any more will qualify from the mens side. Adele Nicholl on the womens should also qualify in both events     Team Sports   Curling  (12) - Anything but a full team would be a dissapointment Ice Hockey  (0) - The men were the only chance       Total Optimistic Prediction  -  (60) Total Pessimistic Prediction  - (32)   Total Realistic Prediction  -  (47)
