[OFF TOPIC] Coronavirus Pandemic

Recommended Posts

Have managed to pay off a well-organized gang of professional people-smugglers & have escaped from Airstrip One

 

Am now holed up in a secret location in the land of bier & mossellen. :BEL.  The hotel TV remote control comes with a condom, which you are not supposed to take off.  Naturally, the first thing I did was to try to take it off.

The Presidents of Brazil, Honduras, and Bolivia have all tested positive for Covid-19.

China customs found some Ecuadorian shrimp samples tested positive of coronavirus and stop 3 Ecuadorian shrimp companies import immediately. I guess the shrimp price will drop sharply just like salmon did last time. And authorities and people tend to believe this round of spike in Beijing is caused by some polluted imported food and the salmon is still the no.1 suspect.

meh!

I'm still eating salmon regularly (in all forms, roasted, smoked, raw -in sushi/sashimi) and I've not been infected...

and it's almost always the super-tasty Norwegian salmon (sometimes it's the wild red salmon from Alaska/Canadian Pacific though)...

I fear you have to search for new suspects (shrimps and crabs are also not a good option, as I'm eating regularly also those kind of sea foods -I love fish and sea food, if someone has not realized it yet :p :lol:)...

by the way, if there's something true in this article (sorry, it's only in Italian language, but with some help from google translate it should be understandable in any case), we (I mean, people living in Lombardy like me) have been really unlucky...

 

OK, we could have managed this sh*tstorm better, but getting double the threat all together must have been bad luck, too...:nopompom: :facepalm: :cry:

 

basically, the article says that in Lombardy 2 different families of covid-19 have co-existed during the worst days in February/March/early April (and still live here, of course)...

 

one originated from the South-East of our Region, the other from the North-East...meeting in the middle area (that could explain why in Milan we had the most cases and victims of the entire Italy)...

 

the only encouraging aspect of all this, it's the fact that the virus looks quite stable and doesn't have many mutations once it's settled in an area, which would mean that when we get a vaccine, it could be really effective, also in the long period...

It's very embarrassing for the government couldn't find the original source so someone/something has to take the blame. Sadly, salmon become that one.

All of my classes will be fully online for my fall semester. I prefer in-person instruction, since I actually enjoy learning and being around academia. However, I also enjoy not having Covid-19...so I’m very happy my college went this option.

    • 4-3  over  at the break, Norway with hammer.
    • whatever you heard is just speculation. no one knows at the moment, probably even the orange himself.   and Iranian athletes failed to get visa so many times before. even female athletes. there is no pattern, it's just too random.    and yes Iran has a system of compulsory military service for men, and there is 50% chance for anybody to be randomly drafted by IRGC affiliated organizations. that's the case for Taremi and few others in the current team.  
    • Would you believe the NCAA Indoor season has already started?      
    • Some changes that I've noticed:   3x3 Basketball: With the expanded 12 team field, one extra team per gender qualifies through world rankings, one extra team qualifies through the universality driven tournament and there's now an Olympic Qualifier series to award the final quotas.   Beach Volleyball: Continental qualifiers have have priority over the World championship and World Rankings quotas and there's now Olympic Qualifier Series quotas.   Canoe Sprint: World ranking system now in place and will be used instead of awarding world championship quotas. Road Cycling: 2 nations ranking quotas per gender moved to universality.   Track Cycling: Sprint and Keirin ranking list is now combined and will award 14 quotas per gender. Previously it was 7+7. Team pursuit down to 8 quotas from 10. 2 of the quotas have been moved to madison (one additional team) and 6 to the omnium.   Fencing: Can get a Continental quota of you finished in the top 24 of the rankings. It was previously top 16.    Hockey: 2 pro league quotas replace two qualification tournament quotas.   Judo: 5 less universality places and 4 more Continental places. For men, there's two more spots for Asia, one less for Oceania and 1 more for the Americas. For the women, there's one more spot for Europe, one less for Oceania and two more for Asia.   Modern Pentathlon: Less quotas awarded through world rankings as a result of quota cuts.   Open Water Swimming: Introduction of world ranking qualifier.   Sailing: In general, seems to be more quotas awarded at the last chance regatta and less quotas at the World Championships   Shooting: One less quota handed out at each World Championship and the return on World Cup qualifiers.   Swimming: Olympic qualification and consideration times renamed to A and B standard. B standard is now 1% slower than the A standard compared to 0.5% in 2024. Stroke 50s have their own direct qualification events and have minimum time standards instead of A and B standards. Qualification times have been nuked again. B standard selection process has also changed.   Volleyball: New revised format. Continental championships first, then world championships followed by world rankings. In 2024, it was 3 qualification tournaments and then world rankings. Only 3 countries per gender will qualify by world rankings now compared to 5 in 2024
    • For Italy, the match against Japan and likely the final match against Estonia will be a safe/relegation game, but I'm think that whether the match against Estonia will be decisive on anything, if we have 0 points after 4 matches. We're currently the worst team here – we have 0 points and are taking significantly fewer shots than our opponents in each match. Japan and Estonia are looking better for now and unfortunately, without significant improvement play starting tomorrow, we'll likely be relegated to the fourth division. With the absence of Russia and Belarus, this will be a shame, even for the weaker 2006/2007 age generation. Especially, since we are playing this tournament at home. For anyone could have competed with a good shape, except perhaps Hungary, who are currently the best team in the tournament.
    • They shouldn't promise additional spots to countries that qualify 3 athletes in each distance, because then taking those spots away isn't fair. For example, in Italy, Previtali won the 500m QO for country but he would likely have to stay at home because the staff probably would have chosen Casinelli for the relay (Casinelli won't be competing individually at all). I don't know what the situation is in Canada with the fifth-place skater? Will this person only compete in the relay, or will he also be a reserve there? 
    • That's too bad. Athletes who finish in the top 32 (or 36 for the 1590m) should be the priority over the 5th athlete from a relay country.   So Croatia loses their 2nd women's quota, Hong Kong loses their only women's quota and Poland loses their 3rd women's quota.   This means that Great Britain, Slovakia and Ukraine should fill up the rest of the 1500m field since they are the highest placed reserves that doesn't require an additional quota.    
    • Philip Rivers' possible return to NFL while being a semifinalist for the Hall of Fame certainly wasn't on my bingo card. But well. So far he's only on the practice squad
