Danish zoos will open may 1st and an ammusement park has also stated that they are planning on opening in medio may. Meanwhile a limit for major events that will be shut down until the end of august has been set at 500. This doesn't necessarily mean that smaller events will go forward before, but there is a chance of some opening on that point during may or during the summer. We are also seing a bit more sports opening (outdoor sports with no contact and limited amounts of people. There are also hopes that football will start again in medio May. As a result more top-tier teams are getting their players back from leave to do training in smaller groups.

Well. Preparations are underway for potentially testing everybody with symptoms in Denmark. It will be easy for me as the local testing facilities are just a 15 minutes walk away

More than 4 minutes slower than the walkers PB (Danish Champion Andreas W Nielsen)

As it really isn't that much of a race, they do accept everything, but I do believe they would question it. The best 10km walk is 49:18

What can I say? After 2 tough runs where my legs didn't feel at their best, something just worked today giving me my first sub-50 10k. At the moment I'm no 762 out of 4555 registering their times at the 10k. I'm sure some will register a better time while I would also guess that some people do it wrong making their times better than reality (when the first 5k runners started registering, one did show a new 5km world record for women by about half a minute. I guess it has been deleted or edited by now). About 31.000 registered making it one of the largest running events in Denmark. About half have registered a time by now in one of the 5 events (5, 10 and halfmarathon run and 5 and 10km walk)

I believe it starts at 2 in the night here i Denmark, but maybe I'll see parts of it tomorrow or some other day.

I would really only call no. 5 completely true when it comes to Denmark! We were very quick (and apparently good) at shutting down and thereby stopping the spread, keeping it away from the elder. The preparation was mainly done while the number of cases was very low. It seemed like a lot could have been ready beforehand. Don't get me wrong. I'm sure plenty of countries are less capable of handling a pandemic than Denmark, but in the beginning it did not feel prepared. Almost 70 % of the positive tests in Denmark are people below 60 (one of the main groups tested are people in health care and eldercare and people needing these). Less than 10 % are 80 or above where the death rate is quite a bit higher than the rest. That's the key to the death/recovery rates. And sure that can tell a lot about different strategies, but.. We can do a lot to prevent it, but we cannot completely take luck out of calculation when it comes to recovery rate. That's one of the main reason for the death rates in Sweden, where they haven't done as good a job keeping the them safe (just below 25 % of positive cases in Sweden are 80+). They have slightly lower death rates in 90+ and slightly higher in 80-89 and 70-79. I have no doubt that more testing makes opening up easier

And we have the competition schedule. Only 2 individual races (including the worlds) https://www.biathlonworld.com/news/detail/ibu-announces-competition-schedule-2020-2021 Edit: I'm blind. 3 individual races.

Next race tomorrow where Denmark will be "running together". The people behind the major races in Denmark has joined together to host a major event online. About 20.000 are expected to participate on either 5, 10 or halfmarathon. I'll be going for the 10km, but I don't think it'll be a fast one as my legs are a bit tired (think I'll only do 2 runs next week) and there'll be an online party tonight We'll see how I feel tomorrow. Luckily it's slightly later than the last online race.

It's not like Trump was the first to question numbers from China!

Apparently they "just found out" that the death toll in Wuhan was 50 % higher.

So wednesday schools opened for the younger classes, high schools opened for those who are supposed to finish this summer and institutions for the children. Apparently monday some more will open including dentists, hairdressers and driving schools just like courts are expected to start working again.

Ronde the day that I'm supposed to run a half marathon? That's just evil!

No idea who created it, but it's pretty old. But others started here I did consider Immigrant Song, but I was in more of a ballad mood when selecting and I really feel that Going to California is underrated (and one of my top music memories from last year)

Nah. You've just been assimilated!

So how do you like tangerines?

Could be, but I would wait at least a week before making conclusions. Easter may have had an effect on testing and on the longer run it may also start something new. There are some positive signs, but meanwhile we've seen a slight growth in the numbers in China. Could be second wave coming there, but could also be coincidence (so far it's not that much (officially). Meanwhile Russia is starting to move at a worrying pace.

Please explain those clear signs of dementia? He does make mistakes when speaking, but he has done so for pretty much all his political career (and so does Trump, btw). Neither does medical records show anything.

Well. Here are the other songs on my top 5 for the Danish TISC selection: We were selecting from a 22-songs shortlist where Barselona was in top 5 for both of us.

I'm lacking an angry reaction...

And we're live from Agger's office!

And last

But then, wouldn't that put @hckosice and @OlympicIRL together? Will @hckosice be happy about that?
