[OFF TOPIC] Coronavirus Pandemic

Recommended Posts

Have managed to pay off a well-organized gang of professional people-smugglers & have escaped from Airstrip One

 

Am now holed up in a secret location in the land of bier & mossellen. :BEL.  The hotel TV remote control comes with a condom, which you are not supposed to take off.  Naturally, the first thing I did was to try to take it off.

The Presidents of Brazil, Honduras, and Bolivia have all tested positive for Covid-19.

China customs found some Ecuadorian shrimp samples tested positive of coronavirus and stop 3 Ecuadorian shrimp companies import immediately. I guess the shrimp price will drop sharply just like salmon did last time. And authorities and people tend to believe this round of spike in Beijing is caused by some polluted imported food and the salmon is still the no.1 suspect.

meh!

I'm still eating salmon regularly (in all forms, roasted, smoked, raw -in sushi/sashimi) and I've not been infected...

and it's almost always the super-tasty Norwegian salmon (sometimes it's the wild red salmon from Alaska/Canadian Pacific though)...

I fear you have to search for new suspects (shrimps and crabs are also not a good option, as I'm eating regularly also those kind of sea foods -I love fish and sea food, if someone has not realized it yet :p :lol:)...

by the way, if there's something true in this article (sorry, it's only in Italian language, but with some help from google translate it should be understandable in any case), we (I mean, people living in Lombardy like me) have been really unlucky...

 

OK, we could have managed this sh*tstorm better, but getting double the threat all together must have been bad luck, too...:nopompom: :facepalm: :cry:

 

basically, the article says that in Lombardy 2 different families of covid-19 have co-existed during the worst days in February/March/early April (and still live here, of course)...

 

one originated from the South-East of our Region, the other from the North-East...meeting in the middle area (that could explain why in Milan we had the most cases and victims of the entire Italy)...

 

the only encouraging aspect of all this, it's the fact that the virus looks quite stable and doesn't have many mutations once it's settled in an area, which would mean that when we get a vaccine, it could be really effective, also in the long period...

It's very embarrassing for the government couldn't find the original source so someone/something has to take the blame. Sadly, salmon become that one.

All of my classes will be fully online for my fall semester. I prefer in-person instruction, since I actually enjoy learning and being around academia. However, I also enjoy not having Covid-19...so I’m very happy my college went this option.

    • 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,...
