Hungary currently has a higher percentage of vaccination than any other EU member state

That is great. Good for you, here we will be one of the 3 EU members with the lowest amount of vaccinated people by June, because...EU decided to change the vaccine purchase policy and alongside of Bulgaria and Austria we will receive much less vaccines than it was expected from pfizer/moderna..(however Austria is working hard actually to persuade EU leaders to change this injustice and return to the original redistribution schema)...

Actually it is a real lottery here to win "golden" ticket to be vaccinated...I was enough lucky to register my mom, but it took me like 2 weeks to succeed to receive a date for her.

 

but at the same time we have plenty of sputnik doses which will remain forever stuck in a storage somewhere in the east of the country, because you know...ugh, boo this is from Russia, this is not good, you´ll become commie after injection or something so do not use it, Brussels will be angry :lol:

Here it's really just a matter of waiting. You don't have to register yourself, as far as I know you get a notification when it's your turn and there you go :p 

 

Luckily I'm not in any risk group and working in healthcare IT probably won't (and at least shouldn't :p) give me any priority. People like my sister's boyfriend (muscle disease, wheelchair-bound and so on) should and hopefully will go first, so far it's mostly focussed on the elderly*.

 

*Which has now gotten to the point that one can friendly insult one's colleagues simply by asking "shouldn't you get your vaccine yet?" :p

There's a giant Disneyland in Shanghai, China with winnie the pooh attraction ride,  Comrade Xi is probably flattered by being compared to a very popular icon in america. (more popular than Biden). :coffee:

Will the minor stand-off in East Ukraine become a major conflict between proxies of US and Russia? 

Biden couldn’t find Ukraine on a map. Or indeed a map.

      Summer Olympic Games Los Angeles 2028 Qualification Systems

      I love that it is more straightforward in relation to the number of quotas and does not allow possible problems as it was in Tokyo and Paris.

      I love the judo qualification system, for me is the best in all disciplines. It combines a strong circuit, and it allows 100 or so countries to participate in.   So, maybe, if UWW does its job properly, it will be a good thing.

      Track Cycling UEC European Championships 2026

      The strength of the UK is that they are 100% focused on the track, while Italy must to navigate between the track and the road: the line-up is different for practically every event, etc. Paternoster should focus 100% on the track; she won't win anything big on the road anymore. As it is, she's weak both there and there. The situation is different with Balsamo, as she's also having significant success on the road and likely earns the most money there.

      Discovery+ in the UK have also got their schedule up now.     I notice that only thing listed as being in UHD is the Opening Ceremony though....

      The problem over the last few years was that no-one was able to keep pace with the big Katie Archibald turns. Looks to be sorted now.

      The women's top 50 is so crammed with athletes from the same five nations that it is not inconceivable they are unable to fill the full quota from the top 50, in which case a third double spot would open up between USA/BEL/GBR

      That women's pursuit team looks brutally fast. Batter you over the head into submission brutal, perhaps not seen since the early Trott-Rowsell days The 4 minute barrier could be on borrowed time.   The two British women sprinters Finucane and Caldwell also look pretty ominous, indeed the whole women's sprint team looks in some shape and with some depth to get that result without Finucane   Work to do for the British men's teams, but they won't be unhappy either, not to mention Joe Truman's unexpected Kilo win.

      How Many Medals do You Expect from Your Nation at the Winter Olympic Games Milano Cortina 2026？

      By JockCartier · Posted

      I prefer to do mine like this guy (https://app.podiumsport.it/) does his "Projected Medals" as probability based rather than straight medal picking... all things being equal, conversion rates should be about the same and the outliers come out in the wash. Unfortunately most people just like medal picking, and think any other approach is weird

Final Qualification Tournament: One of the above in World Rankings    and one of  (most likely) or  seem safe with two quotas. The other will be favourites if a third team gets allocated two.    Women Oceania: Europe: One of Americas:  /  if US is ineligible due to their host quota, if the host quota gets reallocated then Canada will be in contention in the rankings Africa:   Asia: One of   Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (x1?)  (x1/2)  (x1/2), whichever doesn’t qualify out of  / ,  and  ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of above.  Universality: ?    is safe with two quotas between  it’ll be tough for whoever misses out of those three.   nevermind ,
