Agger

You can never be 100 % prepared for the next pandemic, but had the pandemic playbook been followed some reactions would without doubt have been much faster. But that was thrown out the window along with everything else that the Obama administration had done to prepare for the next epidemic/pandemic. It's not like Trump is the first to cut down on what a former administration did on the subject. Both Obama and Bush did as well. That's really not the main thing to blame him for (well, he is to be blamed, but so should the former presidents). What he should be blamed for, is his very slow response when others started recognizing the danger. That's where he's doing bad. While he and his supporters started throwing lies around about Obama's response (and not even the Ebola response that was questionable, but the response on H1N1 that was much quicker) things were going bad quickly. And catching up? Well, in some states, but when Trump is letting his personal pride control his response, it's hurting in some states.

@Wumo got to it before me. Would add another classic for the football team (made for the 1998 World Cup):

That or the bowl cut

Those numbers are really only interesting if you consider the population. If you do so, USA is way behind.

Well. Haven't had a race at 9 before. I did screw up my preparations quite a bit which made me decide that I would go for the 5km instead. According to my phone, my PB on that distance is 22:17. Can't say that I trust that one very much. On endomondo today's 5km was at 23:00. According to my watch it was 23:31. Guess that shows pretty well that there's a difference. Did make a couple of poor decisions when changing my route which meant a couple of tight turns. May have cost me a few seconds. But I'm very satisfied. Now it's all about waiting for the results

So naive... Who won the next contest?

Ha. That's nothing. I'm followed by the International Ludo Federation!

Spend that money on something nice instead As I'm on my own, I would guess something like 54 minutes. It will be a test of the differences of the GPS on my phone and my newly purchased watch.

Tomorrow will be race day for me with just below 500 participants. Well. It's a solo race at 5 or 10km. Think I'll go for the 10 if my body doesn't feel too tired.

Don't we more or less have daily positive tests from sports stars?

Don't worry. Still controlling the committee!

You're missing a letter: "Where is Agger?"

I have a bit of experience with Wordpress. Don't know if it's enough but maybe?

The good old US extreme right making security necessary for those fighting the virus: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/01/us/politics/coronavirus-fauci-security.html?smid=tw-nytimes&smtyp=cur

That site is a mess. No explanations, countries in one list but not others, Austria is the country with the lowest risk?

Oh well, that's one less thing to consider!

How about me who wants a bit of both?

That's nothing : https://edition.cnn.com/2020/03/23/world/balcony-marathon-trnd/index.html

Denmark seeing a slight fall in numbers of people hospitalized due to corona, though the numbers in ICU is up by 5,8 %. Meanwhile yesterday was the first with more than 2000 tests.

Did get a watch some time ago but it had a touch screen that was sensible as hell. A drop of sweat or the slightest touch of my jacket could pause the run (and it vibrates whenever start, pause or stop is pushed). Luckily I got it "for free" (some points I had earned). Strongly considering buying a better one right now.

Meanwhile I think my phone is trying to test my motivation. Sunday the music stopped about halfways through my 13km run. Today I was doing a fitness test where I really want to be able to keep track on the minutes. Halfway through the phone decides to restart.

Good luck! I have pretty much decided that I'll go for the half marathon the day planned no matter if the big event will take place or not (not too optimistic, but the hope isn't dead), but I do afterall have some months to go. If it's cancelled or postponed, I'll try finding an actual race in the autumn. Beginning this week with a weekly 15km all of april before starting to find the last kms (may go for a 16 in the end of the month)

The Danish government has announced that if things stay as it has done the next 2 weeks (both in behaviour and the numbers in the hospitals), we will see the country opening slightly after easter. I don't feel quite sure if it's the right thing to say so. The prognosis has the situation peaking just after easter. But still a long way to see how things change.

You know that Germany and France combined has shipped more masks to Italy than China? And German hospitals taking in Italian patients? And the creation of green corridors? It's not like other European countries aren't under pressure. Sure some countries could do more to help, but "the solidarity is one big facade" is a blatant lie! And what makes Orban a competent leader? And even if he was so, how does that make suspending the parliament okay (without any kind of time limit)

Makes me worry a bit about the big Munich European Championships.
