Yeah, this one is good but quite basic. Well, there are many synthesis books and one way to go is - once you arrive to a certain compound or type of reactions used, you'll have to look up in synthesis databases and mechanistic schemes. I cannot recall a single book combining all of them. Maybe you can try to study synthesis along with medicinal chemistry if you are going to need it. And good start I can recommend is Strategy and Control https://www.amazon.com/Organic-Synthesis-Strategy-Paul-Wyatt/dp/0471929638
I bought recently Corey's The logic of chemical synthesis and while the book does not give out the mechanisms, it is a jewel of excellent source of synthetic pathways.

I’m already bored after 4-5 days however, there’s a book I would like to read by De Giovanni, plus I’m studying my book of medicinal chemistry and there are a lot of synthesis mechanisms I should study. In addition, I should work on my French and English since I will be looking for language certifications after this has finished.
Considering this, I firmly can tell you that I will be playing all time with Total War games ah, and maybe cooking

I do really hope it's just an occasional flu, but the authorities in your Country are playing with your life (even if you're young and strong it's not sure you're not going to face major issues if they don't start assisting you early enough)...
they should really make you a test...

For what I can understand, he was a very good athlete. I was very proud of him, although he never won a gold medal at Olympics, because he comes from a city, next to mine, where there are a lot of problems with organized crime. He was an example for a lot of teenagers, as some before and after him. The fact is that it comes a moment when you have to stop and explain that glory is not forever and should focus on other things. I hope he will understand.

Today my article was rejected. Again.
I'm very bored by this. It seems like I'll never be able to publish results of my MSc thesis.

And at the same time, risk people contracting the virus and spreading it all over the world. The risk of holding the Olympics isn't just that people attending will get sick, but that they'll be a danger to others.
Cancelling sporting events is being overly cautious to be sure, but if doing that for a few weeks might help contain the spread of the virus, that's a small price to pay to potentially save people's lives.

that would be our safety: it means that we are already achieving a group immunity, so infection will start its decay soon. Best of luck for your building!

This is what I fear will happen to me, too... I have invested a lot of money in my master at Siena and, among the incredible number of problems that they are creating as they are definitely not able to organize it, now this has happened. And I was planning to move to Switzerland for my mandatory traineeship... I just sent some CVs there, but I fear no good answers will arrive.
My girlfriend has passed several interviews to apply for a PhD in Australia, she's finally applied for fundings and now I really hope this will not affect her chances...

Exactly, same situation here. I can't avoid wondering if this is a good choice, since Italians and Iranians are now seen as infectors and our economies will suffer for months or even years.
I just lost a 2 weeks job in Saudi Arabia because they don't want me to enter their country

I can't even imagine all the situation your people is facing. I really hope that it will get under control very soon and get better.

Around 5 hours in the hospital, what a waste of time ??♀️
14 days after coming back from Italy, I started to show symptoms of a strong flu. For me, just a coincidence, considering that I had trained hard intervals under strong rain here in my city (so, "this flu probably came because of that and not the coronavirus").
I had all symptoms, except for fever and this was the main reason I didn't go to the hospital earlier. In the hospital here, doesn't matter if you've been in Europe or China, any infected country and you have the symptoms of coronavirus. If you have no fever, you can't even be tested. So, I knew it would have been a waste of time (I was so right!)
Today I decided to go to the hospital for two reasons - I am getting worse (last night I couldn't sleep before 4:30am due to the pain in my chest while breathing) and this morning my dad suddenly had some symptoms of flu (including fever).
In the hospital I explained my situation, the nurses asked me to put a mask on, I was classified as danger/priority and was sent to a doctor's room.
Well, she (the doctor) examined my throat and the sounds of my breathing (lungs) and heartbeat. Due to what she heard, I needed to get inhalation and due to the inflammation in my throat I needed to get an injection (painful, I couldn't walk for some minutes ??),
X-ray of my chest (showing a inflammation in my lungs - not so bad, but I have to take care of), blood and urine exams (which results prove that I have an infection). Still, the doctor was not allowed to send me to do the exam for coronavirus because I have no fever ??♀️ she tried to convince the boss of the hospital because she wasn't accepting to send me home without checking what is going on with me (her words "it's visible this is not just a normal flu, the symptoms started exactly 14 days after coming back from North Italy and she has all symptoms except just for fever. We should test her"). I am happy she was worried about me, it shows that at least some people in that hospital love their jobs, not just the money. Anyway, her request was refused "because I don't fit in the criterias of the state's government so the hospital is not allowed to test me".
I imagine how many people may be in the same situation as me in the state of São Paulo (who knows also other states) just because the government of the state doesn't want to make the number of suspected and positive cases higher ?
My dad went to the hospital later today. He had fever, so maybe he would be tested. But guess what? No... The doctor who examined him (another one) didn't even look at his face. He sent my dad for an injection for the fever and for an exam for Dengue ??♀️
I am already 4 days without training and the doctor asked me to take medicines (I have a long list) and rest
As an athlete and having the first stage of the Brazilian Rollerski Circuit coming next week, I am really not happy with "having to rest". But I have no other option because last time I tried to train, it was hard to breathe and my chest was hurting like about to explode by so much pressure, even though it was a slow pace.
I notified someone from my federation about it and said that I am not sure I can entry for the races next week (for my health and also for the safety of the other athletes) and I was told that I should entry and race anyway because otherwise I could get in "one more trouble" with the federation.
??
Conclusion: we will never know, but, I hope it's just a strong flu.
Also, in advance, I don't promise any great results in the races next week, sorry.

In Denmark the leader of the polling place has to check that there are no others wanting to vote before closing.
In other words, if there were long lines, it would remain open.
