How does a tiny country like Slovakia have enough capacities to test all those people on one weekend?

where there's a will, there's a way.

 

 

but these used for this nationwide testing are antigen tests, (yes, sure, not the most accurate, but still accurate to reveal many asymptomatic pacients and send them into isolation with their relatives, stoping them to spread the virus and tilt the curve down in hope to save as many lives as it is possible, considering our tiny hospital capacities). the state bought them two weeks ago from South Korea only for this purpose, around 13 millions by 4 EUR a piece.

 

5000 Testing stations (copied the 5000 voting stations of the country) were open both on Saturday and Sunday from 7 AM to 10 PM. People were called to attend their respective station by alphabetical order of their surnames,. 20.000 health workers performed the tests, 10 thousands of Army forces and Police assisted to kept order.

 state and seek for a sharija law'd country

Canadian broadcasting legend Alex Trebek has died :( 

I watched a lot of Jeopardy growing up. I’ll miss hearing his voice on that program.

      After four weekends of winter sports, we are slowly entering the middle of the winter season . And, as usual, it's time for statistics that I don't know which theared to put in      After 29 events, 20 different NOCs was already on the podium. After several seasons, Uzbekistan is also back on the podium thanks to figure skating (and two former Russians).   This weekend will be all about ice sports, with a total of 13 events: 4 in figure skating (first stage in Europe) and 9 in short track (second stage in Montreal, since SLC was cancelled)

      Out of curiosity, I listened to a few podcasts about Turkmenistan today. This country has very large deposits of natural gas. In the 1990s, a simple a ordinary people lived quite well there. In the early 21st century, Turkmenistan signed several unfavorable gas deals with China and has practically gone bankrupt since then. 1/3 of the population (about 2 million out of 6 million- mostly young people) emigrated, mainly to Turkey, India, etc. The future of this country is blacka and uncertain. I don't know what other options they have? Russia, Turkey, the EU? Of course, in terms of selling gas. Perhaps sanctions of Russia's and isolation due to the war in Ukraine would be a chance for Turkmenistan to establish economic relations with the EU, but the new president would probably have to loosen and a little liberate up his country's domestic politics.
