That's not really relevant, is it? :p

 

 

 

 

Not in this case :d It is when media misuses the terms all the time which sadly and annoyingly they do (at least here) by all the time going "the coronavirus this" and "the coronavirus that" instead of actually mentioning the virus and/or disease :p

I read somewhere they are building a highway there and there's quite a lot of Chinese workers working on it. Now obviously I think you might know more about that than most non-Iranians, so: any word on that?

 

I know they are building another highway between Qom and Tehran (maybe it's done already ?! I didn't travel that path to see that myself) but not sure about Chinese workers, in Iran they mostly use Afghan workers because of being cheap.

googled about it and found nothing. so I guess the correct answer is "I don't know" that's possible but kind of unlikely.

it seems what you read was indeed correct, there are Chinese workers in Qom (very surprising for me) and they are presumed to be the source !

 

on Tuesday Corona didn't exist in Iran (according to officials on that day), it was 5 cases on Thursday morning and 18 on Friday ! (4 death already) :facepalm: 11 of them in Qom but other 7 are also related to Qom.

 

and two Iranians traveling to Canada and Lebanon are also confirmed to be sick  :wacko:

    • They hack  , collect things about your personnal life even sexe tape and threat you with  ... forcing you to follow them 
    • Unfortunately, our politicians are incompetent and it doesn't surprise me at all that someone could record them. Meloni is sweet in appearance and generally nice, but it's hard with her professionalism. 
    • I'm having a bad day and I don't want to watch this. Only a decisive victory for Ghiotto tomorrow can reassure me that these 2026 games won't be a complete failure.
    • Surprisingly, women's medal match is available on Olympic Channel.
    • https://www.fantaski.it/news/2024/11/22/tommaso-sala-si-rompe-il-crociato-in-allenamento.asp   Now the entire Italian team will be hanging on Vinatzer, who will finish maybe 30% of the races in the season. Tragedy. Sala was not an outstanding skier, but he could have made it to the top 10 several times. The biggest debacle in slalom in decades is coming  This winter seasons haven't even started yet but I'm fed up with him. We have regression in every discipline, Vittozzi disease, disaster in men`s alpine skiing, what else? Unfortunately, we have been much better in summer sports than in winter sports recently.
    • Tense men's semi but  10  8 after 11.      made a 3 in the 10th!
    • Violette Braun is the first  woman in a World Cup since 2009. Today she obliterated the NR in the 1500 by 3 seconds (2'04) on a rather slow track. Second 1500 ever for her, first was in Inzell a few weeks back (2'07) with what seemed like very good conditions.   It means a lot of room for improvement and a good sign for the 3000 which is her real strong event at the moment - she lacks basic speed but had one of the fastest final laps today, 10th over Div A and B. Faster last than penultimate lap must be quite unusual too.
    • When? I understand this is a joke about this great job 
    • The same thing happened after Turin 2006. That hall later was never used for skating competitions again, only the Indoor ECH in athletics was organized there once in 2009 and that was it. After that it was only used for commercial fairs etc. It will be the same with Milan. Regarding the indoor arena in Collalbo, it was a great idea to make it an Italian center of skating sports for many years: good location, high altitude, tourist town. Well, but according to the organizers, it`s not worth doing it, but why? Why is`t not worth doing anything here but Germany has a similar track in Inzell and it is possible there? They should hire a good manager who will develop a plan for them to make it worth doing. The same is with the bobsleigh track in Cortina. It was also not worth renovating it and if Salvini's and other big politics and determination hadn`t come into it, the competition would probably have been in Austria or St. Moritz.   The cooperation with the Netherlands is probably only supposed to concern short track. Besides, this cooperation will not do anything if we don`t have at least one indoor track for training in the summer and early autumn. The Dutch Federation isn`t a charity and will not build us infrastructure for free so that we can train on it. There are no miracles. It`s probably more about taking advantage of the opportunity to train with someone like Fontana, who is a legend in short track. After 2026 this cooperation will end, when she leaves.
    • For Ghiotto to win 2 golds at the Olympics, he would have to be the second van der Poel or Sablikova in they pick of form. You have to be a genius to beat this whole coalition of Norwegians, Dutchmen etc. However, I don't see that much talent in him. I'd like to be wrong, but I'm afraid that he'll end up with some silver-bronze in the 10 km and that's it. If he starts losing to Eitrem now, who is 22 years old, it won't bode well for the future, and there's also Roest + maybe another Dutchman will jump out. Generally, our team is poorly prepared for this season and it's not like Ghiotto is on individual training on the moon and has just come down to earth and will now win everything while the rest of the team are in terrible form. Of course, the lack of form of Bosa or Trentini means e.g. 20th place, not 10th, but for Ghiotto it could mean 4/5 place, instead of 1st. It's the same with the team. For today, the only positive performance for us is Lollobrigida's 2nd place in the b category of the women's 1500 meters and Fontana's solid performance in the same event. The rest is terrible.
