[OFF TOPIC] Coronavirus Pandemic

Recommended Posts

Hopefully we all can certainly agree that indoor bars, clubs and parties did not help in the US. Even Fauci pointed out that as one of the main vector of transmission of Covid-19.

 

The major of Belgrade, Serbia, announced new emergency measures, among them to close indoor-only clubs and bars between 23.00 and 06.00

The major specifically said that the majority of new infections in Belgrade can be traced to this kind of venues.

 

Regarding the US, you know they are in deep sh*t when even Trump start to say that the masks are not so bad after all, the Gov of Texas starts to require masks for their citizens, (and gets panned for it from his own ultra-partisan simpatizers) and Florida Gov Ron "open for business" DeSantis warns people to avoid crowds, etc.

Have had to change my plans as :NED does not want people from the plague pit that is :GBR on their sacred soil, so I have to go on the Eurostar via :FRA.  Will be playing Waterloo by ABBA on repeat until the train gets from Calais to past Lille.

Has Yemen invented reusable tests or something? They have 1200 confirmed cases from 120 tests. :)

I think it's safe to say we'd be better off just not having any numbers from the likes of Yemen or Sudan.

Things are getting worse and worse here, and we are back to square 1 like February/March :cry: with almost 150 deaths per day with more than 2500 infected. and that's just the official number. who knows what's the true number. and exactly like 4 months ago everyday we hear news about famous people getting infected too, celebrities, athletes, politicians.

 

from today wearing mask is mandatory ! (even though I don't know how they are going to "force" people into that) , 7 provinces are in critical situation and 7 more (including where I live and also Tehran where I travel regularly) are almost in critical situation ! :cry: and that means half the country, we have 28 provinces.

 

while to be honest I don't care much about the politicians (well except only few of them) I do care a lot about our athletes, Iran football league started something like 10-12 days ago and now half players from those two teams played the first match are tested positive for coronavirus ! :facepalm: it will probably take few more days to hear the same thing about other 14 teams. (I hope I'm wrong though)

 

and last but not the least, one of our current top wrestlers is in critical situation  :cry: Hossein Nouri, 2017 world bronze medalist and 4 times Asian Champion. I don't know how bad is his situation but moving him to the best hospital in Tehran and to the ICU doesn't sound good. :(

From what I’ve seen today, U.S. is going to get worse before we get better :(

 

I live in a country of idiots :facepalm:

 

Then again, it seems like a growing number of countries are just giving up at this point.

I’m now socially distancing myself from the other 3 family members I live with. My sister began volleyball practice last week (with 20 players + staff in the venue at least once), and my family decided it was a good idea to attend a party with two other families today :facepalm:

    • 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,...
