Unfortunately I got infected through my roommate who came back from Austria about 1,5 week ago after the town he visited got quarantined due to a Corona outbreak. He and all of his friends he went on the trip with all got sick after returning to the Netherlands. Fortunately, my roommate has already recovered in full and I'm slowly recovering as well, and luckily we both only had mild symptoms. However, I've been locked inside with my roommate for more than a full week now and I'm already slowly going crazy. We can't even go outside to buy groceries or medication and have to rely on friends and family to drop that off at the door. Although I'm very thankful for everyone's support, I can't wait to go outside again in a few days when I'm fully recovered, even if it's only a 5-minute walk to the nearest supermarket.

Hahaha, don't have much of a choice with these housing prices here in Amsterdam.
 
That's right!  He's a nice guy. He asked me if it was okay that he would come back to Amsterdam as his mother had cancer not that long ago and staying with her would be a higher risk than staying with me. We tried everything we could to keep the virus contained by for example having him only stay in his bedroom and me providing him with food by leaving it in front of his doorstep, but to no avail.
 
 
I can't wait. Thanks for the support!

You still want to remain roommates after this?

After the first 1.000m:
 
Top contenders/outsiders: On average, most times on this first 1.000m were around what I expected, but there were some great outliers on both sides: Out of the favorites and outsiders,  Arisa Go,  Jorien ter Mors and  Miho Takagi had the best 1.000m.  Daria Kachanova,  Vanessa Herzog and Nao Kodaira were the biggest disappointments on this first 1.000m. Outside of the top contenders:  Kim Min-Ji did a lot better than I expected closing the gap to the rest, but I still think she'll finish last,  Hege Bøkko and  Zhao Xin/Li Qishi did well to.  Hanna Nifantava didn't do well and neither did the two Polish ladies.  
Thoughts after Day 1:
 
Top contenders/outsiders:  Miho Takagi will win the world title by a landslide if nothing unusual happens tomorrow. Not what I expected after her results in Salt Lake City.  Olga Fatkulina and  Nao Kodaira will fight for silver and bronze. The skaters who did the best overall compared to the rest of their season:  Miho Takagi,  Arisa Go and  Jorien ter Mors. Biggest disappointments for me are  Daria Kachanova,  Brittany Bowe and  Angelina Golikova. Outside of the favorites/outsiders: Top 3 performers for me today were 1.  Li Qishi, 2.  Kim Min-Ji and 3.  Hege Bøkko. Disappointments were 1.  Andżelika Wójcik, 2.  Hanna Nifantava and 3. Katja Franzen, all having shown much better results during this season.

About 15 minutes to go.
 
Just for fun, I'll make a prediction for the women's sprint tournament, because in my eyes that's the most difficult one to predict this weekend:
 
Bowe performed poorly in Salt Lake City and Calgary, but perhaps this sea-level track helps her getting back to her high level. Ter Mors is a big question mark for me as she hasn't skated many competitions in the past two years after she had an injury during the 2018-2019 season and this season she was suffering from illness a lot. Leerdam won the 1.000m world title two weeks ago, but she hasn't competed in a 500m since her win at the national championships. Furthermore, I'm not sure if that win was a fluke as the main favorites showed disappointing times there and she outdid herself. Takagi wasn't impressive on the 1.000 in Salt Lake City, the distance on which I think on average she's the best in the world. That's why I put her a little lower than what she's capable of when she's in shape. Herzog is good on the 500m, but hasn't shown much on the 1.000m throughout the season. The Koreans went with a weird choice when you have Kim Min-Sun and Kim Hyun-Yung as well who are better than Kim Min-Ji in both distances.
