questionable, but we're still waiting for news from the meetings about the situation.

Ask Norway But We are a bunch of countries hosting 3 of 4 (Denmark, Sweden and Germany as well). Wouldn't be a huge surprise if at least one of the countries got the 4th one.

Well. One positive thing is that in a few days we have most likely had more closed cases (mainly recovered but also about 3000 deaths) than active cases and the death rate (also among closed cases) is dropping.

The 2025 World Championships will be hosted by Croatia, Denmark and Norway with the finals in Norway.

As a safety precaution, Michael Mørkøv has been isolated in his room after coming from UAE Tour. He is to start in the madison, but we'll await testing before we know if that'll happen.

No medal? What a disappointment! Oh well. It's all about the Olympics

Yes, but it needs testing. Therefore I'm having a hard time seeing it ready for the Olympics, sadly.

With proper testing, sure. If it shows bad side effects, it could just make it worse to rush it through.

Just a few days after Moderna who will most likely start testing on humans in april. Would be a bit surprising if we're already able to vaccine within a few weeks.

The American task force will be happy to see that it's running again

Sounds like 64 tests in Denmark, but I guess that'll get a lot higher.

I mentioned him, yeah as one of those interpreting the dictatorship of the proletariat in his own way. Never mentioned that his way could be the right one

14 workers from the Danish television channel TV2 has been sent home and are to stay quarantined for 14 days as they've been in close enough contact to the first bearer.

I'm just gonna stop this here, when you keep on feeling like mentioning the situation in Denmark. I'm an academic and can look beyond our borders even though you apparently seem to think otherwise! I look at what was written AND state VERY clearly that it is NOT working, not in the past and not in the future. And you were the one starting the Mao discussion. I said that he like all other "Communist" leaders used communism, never really trying to finish the dictatorship (even though some leaders has said that it's finished, which the policy did very clearly show that it never did). I have NO belief in the communist idea and I happily fight the few who do believe in it, but I do still see that what we've seen is not the idea in its pure form.

It is much less about ideology than the old days, no doubt, but not at all? I'm disagreing there. It's really only true if you see ideology as a purely stativ thing. But that really doesn't matter in this discussion. I'm just pointing on a slight flaw in the pro/con-communism discussion that you and Olympian1010 were having. Overall I agree with you, but I do see ways to defend Olympian1010's ideas. Mao didn't run on a "pure communist agenda". He did make it sound like it, but just as other self-appointed communist leaders he used the idea without really considering the people that it should in fact help, just like we would see in any new communist state. Secondary, you can always find something positive. The good old "Hitler was terrible but he did afterall..."-comment (fill in the blank) is seen from time to time. Nothing is black and white and though the bad things did without doubt overshadow the slight good parts, if you search long enough, some statistic could be positive. Cherry-picking is afterall something plenty of groups like doing nowadays. The society doesn't work that way, but it can still be an interesting excercise. There will always be firm believers in different ideologies.

Looking at Marx's ideas, there is the interim period called the "dictatorship of the proletariat". It's really vague and could therefore easily be interpreted like Lenin, Stalin or Mao did (just to mention the most familiar). Krushchev did declare that dictatorship ended, but in reality it didn't. The pure communist idea hasn't really been excercised and it isn't likely to be so ever (other than in very small communities). I would in no way be defending the idea, but it's not really wrong to say that. I am in no way in opposition to your thoughts on what communism has done to too many countries, I'm just looking at the actual ideology behind the idea.

Well. Unless something has changed, nobody spends as much on technology in track cycling as . The bikes, wheels, helmets and clothes mean quite a bit in the sport and the time between the last worlds and the Olympics is the time where things happen here. The Danish national team coach has told Danish media that the Danish national team aren't using their very latest top equipment and he expects the same from most other top teams. It's a sport where the tech race is giving the edge.

To be fair, a lot of (modern) communists would say that the actual communist state has never existed. Most of us would never (for good reasons) give it a try, as what was supposed to be a transition has always ended up as the actual situation. In a purely theoretical situation where it went fullblown communism at once, maybe there would be some goods in there. But once again, I doubt that would ever happen, as some strong person would see a way to take control.

The Prince takes the money from the people to his own good and other rich people. It's simply a massive lack of understanding history if you compare those two. Some people don't like taxes, fair enough, but bad historical analogies are laughable (yes, Robin Hood is a fairytale, but the idea of taxing the poor for living where they live (and maybe a bit for defense) wasn't really unusual).

The Danish coming from a vacation in Lombardia

2 World records and what is the comment from Frederik Rodenberg? "What a bad day!" He's not satisfied with his own riding!

What a semi!

https://www.svt.se/nyheter/lokalt/vast/bekraftat-coronafall-i-goteborg-person-vardas-pa-sahlgrenska Most likely got it in Northern Italy. The first one is rather old but no news on that one,

Oh well. The hospital has checked 16 patients before, all negative. Some checks are actually made

Oh well. 2 persons are being checked for Corona at our local hospital. Maybe I should go shopping before panic breaks out...
