Confirmed cases per nation courtesy worldometers

 

Highlighted in green

Highlighted in grey

And surprisingly USA now have only 8149 cases for today

yeah, don't worry for that...I'm full of things to do...from house cleaning to cooking, from reading to watching old sport events, docs and tv series and doing a lot of different things...not mentioning my phone being always busy in these days (the few relatives we still have alive don't live very close to us and are not so young to manage the new technologies)...

 

 

This gives me the perfect opportunity to ask this. I've had a lot of fond memories revisiting tv series that I've already watched, even if I know the outcome, it somehow still remains an entertaining experience.

 

That is something that I don't usually get from rewatching sports events, for me the thrill is not there opposed to the feeling of excitement when you're watching it live. (For example watching biathlon live has always been a more enjoyable experience than watching it in the evening after work even if you manage to avoid spoilers during the day)

 

So I was wondering if there are a lot of you guys that enjoy watching old sports events and perhaps you would like to passionately describe why you enjoy doing that as well? :p

 

During a commercial break they were streaming the Olympic win from Rūta Meilutytė and that just made me sad. I think that if I'd ever watch an older sport event it would just make me extra sad for everyone that's already retired.

sometimes I like to watch old sport events...

 

and even if I already know who's going to win, it doesn't matter...I normally watch them or because I've never seen them before (especially those old hockey games from the 70's and the 80's) or because I want to re-live the emotions I felt the first time or look at them with a different and more relaxed perspective...

 

I mean, if I watch an Olympic final with Italian athletes live, it's normal that I have eyes for my favourite athlete(s) and it's more a fan experience, meanwhile if I rewatch the same event after some time, I can appreciate all the aspects I didn't focus on when I was following live...

In Hong Kong, you need to wear an electronic bracelet to trace you. In most part of China, you are not allowed to quarantine at your home, must in arranged hotel. Only for a few people, you could be quarantined at home with a CCTV outside the door connected to the local government.

That is madness. Especially because these are places where they are probably telling you "don't worry, everything is removed" once it's over, but they're perfectly using it to track citizens even more..

I might as well restart from season 1. It's been a long long time since I last saw the episodes from those seasons.

 

Plus it's always good to go back to the seasons when they really didn't give two fucks and just insulted everyone, that was so much better. Although luckily they still do that somewhat.

Yeah, the world is a bit more sensitive now than it was during their prime, thus it might mean that they're walking on thin ice and restrain themselves with some topics. Although yeah, just like you said, they still tend to insult some people good :p

I like watching some short videos or something, but not entire events...then I just get bored :p

    • Rather negative     Both towards Vollering and towards the coach, who has been making a mess of this for years now (like Tokyo). Vollering literally said "it was not good for me that Markus and Vos were still in the front towards the end"     One of the most well-known journalists (albeit a bit of a drama queen, but in this case, he's right): "Absurdly bad race by Vollering. Unbelievable."   An entire analysis titled "Vollering only thought of herself and threw away and almost certain Dutch medal": https://www.wielerflits.nl/nieuws/demi-vollering-dacht-alleen-aan-zichzelf-en-verspeelt-vrijwel-zekere-wk-medaille-voor-nederland/   Vollering: "They were all riding just to make me lose"   https://www.gelderlander.nl/video/productie/vollering-mij-laten-verliezen-wk-zurich-772648?referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F   The 100th time Vollering shows she should simply not be in a team like this. It is always trouble, every single time. We need a team with like 6 Marianne Vos clones, she has the experience, she can read a race like absolutely nobody else in the world can and she plays her role, whether that's the team captain or working for someone else, without complaining and to the fullest extent.   Vollering is the exact opposite of Vos. Vollering rides for Team Vollering, which consists of Demi Vollering. No matter what.
    • What did Dutch press make out of it? It was one of the worst "teamworks" I have ever seen in cycling.
    • There is a ton of evidence, even if you don't believe the Bible is real,  that israel is our ancestral land.  And we simply took what's ours.  And in fact there was never anyone named Palestinians there.   Simply a name given to the region by the Roman's.  But the actual people is just a collective of individuals from different Arab countries where they were kicked out from.  And we are expected to cater to them.   There are plenty of other countries that should take them.   Iran, qatar, Iraq, Kuwait, Yemen, Algeria,  libiya, Egypt, Tunisia, Morocco to name a few.   
    • Completely lost track of when the other final, but I just finished watching the pre-recorded version of it.   Team “Magic Mike” McEwen defeated Team Gushue 8-3 to win his third title (and in a row) of the season. 
    • Massive win indeed, a 80+ kilometer solo in the world championships, damn  (I mean, Sivakov jumped with him to try and help him of course, but couldn't do anything but sit in his wheel until he got dropped )
    • If even Erdogan calls you a psychopath, you're probably been....bad.    
    • Meanwhile:         https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maher_al-Assad
    • Sure, some things are simply historical events retold with a kind of fantasy layer over it, to make it more appealing to read and/or - most importantly - to put some lessons into it, which is fine (and which is the main way to read most religious texts, as 'lessons' and messages by the writers instead of actual historical facts). But let's not pretend that things like Moses splitting the sea or the entire exodus have a significant historical basis, based on actual evidence. Anyway, like I said: I'm well aware people who believe the religious book of their choosing is a historical book aren't going to ever believe otherwise, I grew up in a town full of similiarly minded people
