I’m just second guessing every comment I make right now. It was just a snarky comment about how some people in the US don’t believe that vaccines work.

It’s not that vaccines don’t work, or that Americans are stupid.  It’s that a vaccine is in itself dangerous to a certain percentage because a vaccine is not a cost-free option. There is always a risk.  People die from allergic reactions to vaccines. At one time I used to get cholera vaccinated twice a year, & I was always a little ill afterwards.  I knew plenty people who got it worse.
 

If you are in a low-risk group for COVID, it’s perfectly possible in theory that a vaccine is statistically a bigger risk.  There just has not been enough scientific work done, and we won’t find out what the true risks are for several years.  We are already being told that pregnant women should not take it.

I just hope people won't think it's now just a matter of using vaccinations and two weeks later it's all done :p Because that's not how it works :d 

Of course not :d 

 

But things may getting better in next months, for sure.

Great, now the Dutch government not only requires a recent negative test before entering the country (which is of course fine), but it has to be in one of five specific languages :facepalm: 

 

English, French, Spanish, German or Dutch. Good luck getting a result in one of those languages in Brazil.

Except Delhi no state has experienced a second peak. Colleges and schools are opening across the country. Its 1 week to go for my college. All students and teachers have to submit covid 19 negative report before attending. 

 

Some colleges have gone with a successful biosecure bubble format where they are not allowed to leave the campus after test nor anyone can enter. Even teachers and non teaching staff are required to stay in campuses. 

Thanks for the updates.

    • Earlier today, Taiwan beat the USA    Of course it's car from the best US tram but it's still a big deal for Taiwanese baseball
    • And even here we lose to France? I really don't know what's the point of organizing the Olympics if you can't make progress in practically any sport. France has the Olympics in 2030 and there they will definitely prepare 100%, just like for Paris. We can't do that. It's obvious that in ski jumping we have no chance of winning medals, but decency dictates that we should at least win here with a France like that.
    • There is no snow in Lillehammer 
    • Finally the ski jumping season begins 11 teams in the (real) mixed team competition, no Switzerland.
    • Most of our athletes are constantly bothered by something: the pressure to qualify, the miss of pressure when they have already qualified, etc. It's the same in football: at the beginning of the season they are a poor form becouse of a little played and at the end of the season they are tired. They are always looking for excuses. A real champion always plays at a high level, like Sinner, and doesn`t look for 1000 excuses for his poor performance.
    • Think it is mentally difficult for the two teams with the Olympic place guaranteed and the pressure off, whereas everyone else is absolutely playing at 110%.  I'm sure things will be better once they get to Milan. 
    • There's no point in cheating, these were terrible European Championships for us. Retronaz out of form, Constantini with a huge number of big mistakes. Only illness can excuse it... We've probably lost the last 10 matches with Switzerland... It looks like Constantini had the tournament of her life in mixed doubles in 2022 in Beijing and she will never reach this level again.
    • What good is it to us if we took 4th place and lost an important match? If Constantini was sick, I forgive her, but I'm afraid that the Italian team will not exceed a certain level. Yes, they have made progress since 2022, but they lack that one decisive step to become a class team. Here we lost all important matches with teams at our/higher level: Sui x2, Sco x2, Swe. We only won with the one we were supposed to win with. I don't believe in a medal for this team in Cortina. After 2022, it seemed that Constantini could dominate women's curling, but it didn't happen that way. After Sinner's recent successes, I opened my eyes a bit and started to demand more from our athletes, coaches, and officials. I have no intention of being satisfied with 4th place, because with this approach, you won't achieve anything great.
    • play their best, but only get 1, so  get bronze 6-4!  
    • Oh dear, once again a 50% shot from Constantini when she needed 100%.   blank the end & go into the 10th with the Hammer of Thor.
