[OFF TOPIC] Coronavirus Pandemic

[John Foyne 32]

Meanwhile in America...

 

23 University of Clemson (American) Football players tested positive yesterday.

13 University of Texas (American) Football players tested positive yesterday.

The Philadelphia Phillies of Major League Baseball shut down their training camp facility in Florida after 8 of their players tested positive yesterday.

The Toronto Blue Jays of Major League Baseball had a few positive tests and also shut down their facility. 

11 National Hockey League Players also tested positive yesterday as training camps opened. 

 

We're obviously going to see more tests as more and more players are required to be tested in order to practice. Most of the players who tested positive are asymptomatic, which means they are showing no illness. But that means the virus can be easily spread throughout a locker room and may infect the more vulnerable demographic such as older coaches, trainers, staff, front office workers. Having been apart of countless teams and been in thousands of locker rooms, being 6ft apart is a near impossible task. Contact between players and coaches and staff is an integral part of sport. I can only predict that we will see more and more positive cases in the next few weeks. 

 

Having sports in North America in 2020 does not look as promising as it may seem.

Anyone know how things are in Belgium these days?  Am planning to go there in July.   Lots to enjoy, & the fact that it has Europe & possibly the world’s highest death rate means hotels are very cheap.

Sixth day in a row in Poland we have more recoveries than new cases  

 

Currently there is 13,579 active cases. 17,573 people fully recovered.

Visitors from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Montenegro, Kosovo and North Macedonia are once again required to be quarantined upon entering Croatia.

 

Should have been done days ago. Imports from these nations are pretty much responsible for the current rise in numbers.

Looks like the 2nd wave is comming...18 new positive cases today...by far the highest amount since last 2 months...

 

Let´s open the borders they said...the quarantine for people arriving from 12 countries is not necessary anymore they said...

 

irresponsible and stupid

 

 

and here the first consequences, our president has cancelled her programme and will stay in preventive home quarantine until Friday, June 26.

She made her decision after one of the employees of the President’s Office was in contact with a coronavirus-positive person, her spokesperson informed the media.

 

Zuzana Čaputová was supposed to meet with her Austrian counterpart Alexander Van der Bellen in her hometown of Pezinok today.

Home quarantine for 2 days? I mean, either do it for two weeks or don't do it all.

No, she meant the preventive quarantine is until Friday when she will be tested, if positive the quarantine will become mandatory obviously

From 1 July all seats in public transport can be used again, as opposed to the current situation. Right now, for example in trains only one person can sit in a two- or four-person seat and only at the window. This decision to free that up sucks big time, travelling by train has never been so relaxed as these past few weeks/months with the restrictions

That's funny. Starting tomorrow, wearing masks will once again be a requirement in public transport here.
