Out of curiousity: we all know the Chinese government is generally not very trustworthy, to say the least, so do people in China believe it is actually almost over (at least in China), or are they mostly still fearing there is way more to come?

 

Most Chinese believe in the government. Because we can see the measures taken to contain the spread and effort made both by medics and government. It happened on us, not just reported by media. Most measures are very strict but effective in this special moment, like lockdown, mandatory quarantine and definitely no any forms of gathering. The cover-up at the very beginning is stupid, the shortage of medical resource of Wuhan at the early phase is troublesome and worrying, but the strong actions taken next proved working well. The virus is contained and most patients are already recovered. People outside Hubei province are back to normal life now. We experienced a silent February and everything paused for one and half month. But people think the sacrifice is worth it. 

 

All in all, people do not fear now and things back to normal gradually. People think government did wrong at the beginning but measures taken to contain it is very effective. Considering no one knows the degree of severity and infectivity at the beginning, people think government did a good job in general. 

 

One more thing, the reason why overseas Chinese flee back to China is that they think people overseas underrated the severity. The ignorance would lead to great outbreak later.

At 14:30 is schedulled new crisis meeting, Rumors going the country is awaiting another full set of radical measures :zip: like complete close of all shops (except groceries and pharmacies) pubs (without exception) and restaurants closed from afternoon or mandatory using of masks in public transport...

 

This morning we announced new 10 confirmed cases (54 now in total)

 

 

So far the streets are empty and peoples looks to start being really responsibe, if they have to go out they often wear masks

Some good news for you :p

Apparently they do some test in Vo, one of the frist area of coronavirus outbreak in Europe. They test ALL the population (ok, they are only 3.5k) and apparently more than 50% are infected by they are asymptomatic

Here there's a press conference about the province where it exploded fastest in an hour or so. I highly doubt they'll close shops yet (we'll hit 1000+ today), maybe in one or two regions they will advise schools to close.

But that's not by definition good news, since asymptomatic people can still very much infect others.

    • Netherlands will boycott this edition ???       According to the NL Times, a petition by journalist Teun van de Keuken has attracted just over 114,000 signatures at the time of writing, stating: "We call on the Dutch government not to allow the Dutch national football team to participate in the World Cup in the United States. We do not want our footballers to implicitly support President Donald Trump's violent terror policy against innocent migrants (or not in possession of a US passport) through their performance at the tournament. "We also disapprove of the aggressive military interference of the United States in other countries and we find it insistisible that our footballers will play at a tournament of a president who threatens to invade and occupy his own ally Greenland, with which he destroys NATO and endangers world peace.'”
    • First,  … Oriol Cardona Coll is the favourite in men’s ski mountaineering, with the mixed relay also favoured, and there’s fringe chances for Queralt Castellet in women’s snowboard halfpipe, Lucas Eguibar in men’s snowboard cross, and Ana Alonso in women’s ski mountaineering (she got into a car crash a few months ago, wasn’t serious thankfully but not in great form) depending on the day…    For  Bulgaria one of Zamfirov or Krashniak in men’s parallel giant slalom is what I’m thinking, but maybe Yankov can medal too (although his season has been pedestrian), Zamfirova in women’s parallel slalom also has a decent chance   For  Belgium, I think Kim Meylemans in women’s skeleton, the Crystal Globe winner, and potentially one of the Desmet siblings in short track…   For  Georgia, obviously Metelkina/Berulava in pairs figure skating   For  Latvia it’s all about luge. Bots/Plume and Upite/Kaluma in men’s/women’s doubles, Aparjods in men’s singles, and the team relay. Kruzbergs might also have a chance in short track but don’t see it.    For  Poland, in short track Maliszewska in the women’s 500m, and the women’s and mixed relays have chances, Krol-Walas in women’s parallel slalom, Zurek in the men’s 500m and 1000m. Easiest pick of them all.    For  their biggest chance is mixed team aerials IMO due to the lack of teams competing, Kotovskyi in men’s aerials and Brykina are other chances.    I actually don’t have  Brazil reaching the podium, Rocha Silveira hasn’t had the best results on the WC circuit, Burgener’s scores this season won’t be enough for a podium, and most of their hopes rest on Braathen IMO   Same with  Estonia, Kaldvee/Lill are a strong team but I have four teams slightly above them. 
    • fis basically only cares about alpine skiing (and despite that, they always find the way to make disasters also on it) if it wasn't for the North American tv money, I guess they would even get rid of those "freestyle" events, leaving them to the X Games organization
    • Last Olympics Canada only rejected a quota after they got to 8 female. Hard to say but they will probably take them.
    • A bit shocking to see Brazil with the most votes so far! They do have 3 good medal chances though (Pinheiro Braathen, Rocha Silveira, Burgener) so it's well deserved.   I also originally included  New Zealand on the poll but I must have deleted them by accident although they probably also would have gotten the same amount of votes as Brazil so it wouldn't have made much of a difference.    
    • Korea accepted a halfpipe quota so there will be a total of 22/25 competitors entered in women's halfpipe.   The good news is that women's ski cross will have 32 entries for the first time since 2010.
