[OFF TOPIC] Coronavirus Pandemic

Recommended Posts

I don't want create an panic but it's fourth day a row with +100 deaths in Iran

 

There also are new cases in Iceland (3) and Montenegro (7). 

 

In :GER  today was the biggest number of new cases since 24th April with number of 1797 cases, there is note that: "Today's high increase in the number of new cases is due to 657 new positive cases registered in a slaughterhouse in the district of Gütersloh"

 

But even without this slaughterhouse it's still above 1000 first time from 8th May.

 

And just two days ago EU reopen their borders. It doesn't look good at all

This is what I read today in the Hungarian economic/financial press (the only kind of press, apart from sport and tech, which I read in Hungarian but they report a lot about Covid):

 

- After winning the Italian Cup, there was a big celebration in Naples, apparently disregarding the Covid security rules

- An Italian guy from the WHO went angry on Italian television, denouncing the above mentioned celebration

- First time since 7 April, the No. of people in Intensive care units increased instead of falling

 

For our posters from Italy: is this true? Do you think that the situation in Italy can worsen again?

 

Plus: Slovenia reinstated the 14 day quarantine for travellers coming from Serbia, B-H, and Kosovo on account of the growth of imported cases from these countries

657 new positive cases in a slaughterhouse? That sounds a bit....ominous :yikes:

11 new cases in Croatia today. Record daily increase since May 12th! :facepalm:

 

Most of them are imports from Bosnia and Herzegovina though. Things seem to be getting out of control down there.

Masks are mandatory once again in California.

This is all true, but it is impossible the third sentence is related to the first two :lol:

 

ICU numbers are very low right now, I don't think an increase of 5 unites in a day is worrying if the trend will not be confirmed in the next days.

Sorry, did not imply any connection (the article didnt do it either)

 

Hopefully the increase of ICU numbers is just temporary

55k new cases in Brazil only yesterday. :hairpull:


Record daily increase anywhere.

 

Sigh, not expecting flights from Brazil to be going to Europe (for regular people) anytime soon...as in, this year.

    • Some of the small nations have competed in the past but usually lost 30-0 to the Aussies
    • Officials persons (include Head) of RLF are still in ban. For example, Vaelbe has spoken even more terrible words but, however, CAS obliged to gave them AIN status. And it's the same situation here - FIL must to implement CAS's decision. But it's not clearly FIL's criterias for AIN status and that too strange
    • For Modern Pentathlon, it's interesting that Africa only gets one continental championship spot, considering how well Egypt does in the event.  (But then again, it's max 2 athletes per NOC per gender.)  Presuming that an Egyptian wins the African CCh, I suppose their performance in the other major competitions will allow the second competitor to come through.
    • Statement from the president of the russian Luge federation (yesterday): "Our team is in Kazakhstan and is preparing to apply for U.S. visas. We are setting an example for our entire country, especially for the younger generation. They see that a difficult path is not a reason to give up. It teaches perseverance. In this perseverance lies our shared strength, our mission to millions of young people for whom sports are a guiding point and a shining star. I believe in our country, in our strong-spirited guys. I sincerely love and respect our president, Vladimir Putin. He is the best president in the world. May God grant him strength and good health."   Do they deserve neutral status?
    • I did not think it would happen again but... I created similar post for Paris - 2024 https://totallympics.com/forums/topic/27489-ain-athletes-qualification-for-paris-2024-olympic-games-and-reallocation-of-quotas-post1-updated-1507/#comments  I was not sure if that reallocations would really happen but the reality was even more serious than the expectations. According to this research 43% of the neutral statuses issued by the IFs were fake AIN  - https://razom22.com/neutrality-research/  And the figures are based on the IOC decisions - not on the evaluations by Ukrainian NOC or sport ministry. Right now the situation is absolutely unclear. As usually )) Some notes: 1. Russians will not reject quotas for 2026 as they did for 2024 in judo and wrestling. 2. AINERP may be more loyal to russians due to the new member - Watanabe. His federation issued AIN status to Melnikova who took part in the primaries of the russian ruling party, had phots with Z and e .t.c. 3. I do not expect a lot of reallocations becaues of the total small number of the rus/blr athletes in qualification events right now. 4. BUT, even with these small numbers we see that FIS allowed to compete several incompliant persons.        Short notes from the IOC statement before Paris - 2024:   1. IOC`s decisions to reject quotas are final. 2. IOC`s decisions to approve quotas are not final - new facts may lead to the rejection of invitation. 3. IOC`s decisions cannot be appealed - NOCs were not invited to the Games, so it is a good will to invite individual athletes... or not   russians Sports Athlete(s) Discipline Possible Reallocation NOC IOC Decision + IF reallocation if happened Figure skating Adeliia PETROSIAN Women's singles Stefania Yakovleva Confirmed by IOC Figure skating Petr GUMENNIK Men's singles Davide Lewton Brain Confirmed by IOC belorussians     Sports Athlete(s) Discipline Possible Reallocation NOC IOC Decision + IF reallocation if happened Figure skating Viktoriya SAFONOVA Women's singles Stefania Yakovleva Confirmed by IOC  
    • I would say they will not be eligible. But it realy abotut the wording every federation has in its papers. World Aquatics changes their policies several times (especially after Mazepin "solved the issues" persoanlly - as witnessed one russian Olympic champion)   Inoirtnat notes on FIS decisions:   FIS points are frozen for ruissns and belorussians - so the situation is not so complicated for a lot of them. The list of the AIN`s is not final as the list from ISU was. It means that persons mau be not only removed from the list but added as well. I expect russians to try some freestyle applications before the stage in China, for example. FIS has not problems with the deny of visa or entris by the host countries. So they kept the possibility to close the doors for the russians for all the countries as ICF did. No sanctions for this, no removing events from the Olympic qualification list, no host changes,   * * * * * Here is the the relevant extract from FIS papers for Aerials tram event. What do you think?
    • Not only Korostelev but all 3 russian entries. I will bring the detail 
    • And will bet that the IBU is a lot richer than the FIS because their wealth is based on German TV contracts.  
    • Russians filed an appeal to CAS against IBU. But I do not believe they will get any result in time to grab quotas. I suppose IBU will not agree to have "fast" hearings as FIS did. And i suppose IBU will fight in CAS without intention to lose as FIS did.
