[OFF TOPIC] Coronavirus Pandemic

Recommended Posts

On a positive note...... 

India has ramped up its testing ability by inducting a large number of pvt sector labs..... For example my city Hyderabad has now 12 labs conducting tests for Covid...... Presuming each testing center can conduct a 100 tests a day...... We can do 1200 tests every day..... A huge ramp up capacity from just 100 or so tests we were doing earlier in Hyderabad ...

Worth nothing that Turkmenistan is actually something like 4 points behind North Korea on the World Press Freedom Index currently (I actually think they rank behind North Korea on most things these days) :wacko:

We crossed 1600 yesterday with highest jump of cases yesterday. I was starting to believe we were controlling the spread as the rate of new cases per day was slowing down. With the govt not wishing to extend the lockdown period, the window to contain the virus spread gets shorter. Economic realities will compel to end the lockdown

US is starting to get close to the 1,000 deaths per day threshold :(

 

My community has been somewhat spared, but we’re up to about 20 cases now. Unfortunately one of those is a family friend with a teenage son. Last I heard, he’s in our local hospital on a ventilator. However, his wife hasn’t been able to get any updates recently, which is making think it’s not looking good :cry:

 

I don’t pray, but those who do to take a moment and pray for all the families going through the horrors of this pandemic.

Even more breathtaking is people going on Twitter and bashing Trump about this. Sure, they could put a lower number there, but then people would complain they're not being realistic.

First case on Bonaire. Kingdom of the Netherlands has fallen!

 

We still have 4 COVID-19-free municipalities (four of the five islands in the north :p )!

If the number of cases per day (200+ day) keep multiplying till April 14, there will be no other option for the Indian govt but to extend the lockdown. Economic pain will be there but the if the lockdown is removed the cases will incrase manyfold. It really a difficult decision for government to take. How many cases we are getting per day in next 10 days will decide it.

in the meantime, I discovered that the small village where my granny (my dad's mom) was born is basically one of the only places in Italy with no cases of coronavirus at all...

 

OK, it's a small place with about 1,100 inhabitants, but it's also located in the middle of the original red zone of Lombardy (and Italy)...

 

and 25% of my DNA comes from there! :cheer:

    • I won't write about injuries (Fede) and non-sporting matters (Colturi), but the fact is that Italy has its worst start to the season in alpine skiing in over 10 years... Just one victory, and podiums- if any, they're mostly 3 places. We're also not leading in any of the season standings, no in the women's or men's categories. This isn't be it should be in an Olympic year in your country, where you're having your worst season in many years.
    • Plaisier blew 3 match darts and Ratajski comes back to win!    
    • Yes, she was unlucky, but it could just as easily have happened during some training, like with Gut, etc. Brignone has been essentially injury-free throughout her long career, which is very rare in this sport. It's unfortunate that this happened after her best season ever and just 1 year before the Olympic Games in home, when she just missing of win the Olympic gold medal in her great career. With the gold in Cortina, she would have become a legend of Italian skiing, on par with Tomba. Now she's still the best Italian woman in history, but the miss of Olympic gold will likely haunt her for the rest of her life. 
    • It sad to see this season, as I remember, that Fede last year was winning everywhere, when she competed and finished and now we haven't even managed a single podium in the giant slalom, and it'll probably stay that way until the end of the season. Without Fede and Bassino, unfortunately, we're out of good cards in this event. For me Goggia should probably skip the giant slalom at all, becouse she has no chance of a podium and she risks further injuries. If even Goggia finish 8th or 10th? What difference does it make? If she couldn't get a podium finish today with so many DNFs at the top skiers, she probably never do. Della Mea is OK this year, but let's be honest, she's not World Cup podium material. Overall, it's a sad picture, and we have a 0% chance of anything in Cortina unless a miracle happens in Brignone return.   We have two chances for Goggia in DH and SG + maybe a dark horse in Pirovano/Curtoni in SG. That's all. In technical events, we have a 0% chance for medal and that's sad. Our federation also lost Colturi in this situation... In any normal country, the head of such a federation should be dismissed for disciplinary reasons and this case should be investigated by the minister, or even the prime minister, but not in Italy...
    • Mikaela Shiffrin  off the podium today (Edit: Oops...I thought this was slalom, not Giant Slalom.).  Nina Astner  entered the 2nd run in 30th place, but had the best second run, jumping up 18 places to 12th.
    • Maryna Gąsienica-Daniel with a 5th place PB in Semmering GS! 
    • Today RDC will defeat Senegal  and Tunisia 0-0 Nigeria
