Well. Less than a month ago it was american politicians calling it a leak from Wuhan biological laboratory. Doesn't help the slightest, but it has been going both ways (even saw the idea of it being american back when it was still pretty much only in China)

 

It's sad that some people use it for political purpose, but some things never change.

 

Yes you are right.

They were to try and get their stuff before Sunday's sudden 18.00 closure :d 

 

The very next day, coffee shops were allowed to sell their stuff through sort of windows, one by one, because the obvious would happen within hours of closure: illegal street dealers - which poses quite a risk - selling their stuff very easily.

Have there been many reports of looting in your countries yet, by the way? Not here yet, but if things are actually closed down more (like shops and such), I am 100% expecting shops to be broken into and looted by youth..

 

The only cases I've heard of are the worst: A couple of hospitals have had hand sanitizers and masks stolen :( Most hospitals are now locking most doors and have security personnel stationed by the entrance.

I'm really not in favor of death penalty, but believe me... I have thought of that idea in these cases

Haha, for both sides of these kind of news, no one actually take it seriously. I just rolled my eyes and move on. Apparently enough that Chinese official just want to satirize the American politician as the humorous same way.

Are there any reliable reports about possible consequences on respiratory system among recovered cases?

 

you have to search for consequences of interstitial pneumonia, which is what makes this virus si scary and dangerous...

Both UK and Sweden are starting to change their responses towards what most other countries do and even Trump seems to be starting to get how serious it is. Let's hope that it's not too late (though I wouldn't mind if people remember their response).

A good news hopefully comfort the anxiety.

 

The joint vaccine development of a Chinese biotech company and the army made a breakthrough today. They received the permit to conduct clinical trials and begin to publicly recruit volunteers. Also they claimed ready for mass production.

 

The company is CanSino Biologists which is a Hong Kong listed company. It’s supposed to publish any breakthrough made to the public.

This is the strangest St.Patrick's Day I can recall.... no parades, no pubs open, no parties, no celebrations. Screw you corona virus :(

Happy St. Patrick's Day to you, nonetheless. :IRL

    • Yes, the Africa Cup is counted, but I mean the Americup will be removed before the end of the qualification period (1 December 2027). Because the event finished before 1 December 2025.
    • It is already counted. Madagascar has won both men's and women's tournaments.
    • I think the 2025 Africa Cup will be counted in the Olympic ranking because it was played on December 5-7, while ther Americup was played on November 27-30 so it should not be counted, right?   The ranking cut-off is 1 December 2027 and the events of the last 2 years are counted, so I think the Americup 2025 will be cut.
    • SLOVENIA  37 athletes (19m, 18w)   ALPINE SKIING (8 / 3m,5w): Miha Hrobat, Žan Kranjec, Martin Čater, Ana Bucik Jogan, Ilka Štuhec, Lila Lapanja, Nika Tomšič, Caterina Sinigoi BIATHLON (9 / 5m,4w): Jakov Fak, Miha Dovžan, Lovro Planko, Anton Vidmar, Matic Repnik, Polona Klemenčič, Anamarija Lampič, Lena Repinc, Manca Caserman CROSS COUNTRY SKIING (7 / 3m, 4w): Vili Črv, Miha Šimenc, Nejc Štern, Anja Mandeljc, Tia Janežič, Neža Žerjav, Lucija Medja NORDIC COMBINED (2 / 2m): Vid Vrhovnik, Gašper Brecl SKI JUMPING (7 / 3m, 4w): Anže Lanišek, Domen Prevc, Timi Zajc, Nika Prevc, Nika Vodan, Katra Komar, Maja Kovačič SNOWBOARDING (4 / 3m, 1w): Žan Košir, Rok Marguč, Tim Mastnak, Gloria Kotnik   This will be smallest delegation since Torino 2006 (34 athletes). Also probably first time, where realistic there is only one sport with full medal chances (ski jumping). There are always small chances with likes of Hrobat (DH), Kranjec (GS), Štuhec (DH), our snowboarders or in biathlon relays. But to be honest, at least two or three medals in ski jumping would be just fine, to continue tradition winning medals at Winter Olympics, last Games without any medal were in Torino 2006.    Beijing 2022: 42 athletes Pyeongchang 2018: 71 athletes Sochi 2014: 66 athletes,...
