I was also surprised at this decision as here in Europe even the most hard hit countries and regions have adopted a faster "relaxation" plan. I assume the situation as assessed by their (LA county / CA state) authorities is still bad, or, alternatively, they are afraid that people coming from more "infected" states/regions of the USA would bring back the virus if they relax too quickly.

No, our mayor said that they will evaluate the plan every week, but this is the plan for now. We just can’t trust many Americans to follow social distancing rules, or mask laws, or other other measures. It definitely shouldn’t be a two extremes battle, but that’s the U.S. for you. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

If anything, living in small places with limited international travel has proven highly advantageous in battling the coronavirus crisis. And even there, living in small towns/villages is even more beneficial than living in cities. Also, is there no 1.5 m rule in Slovakia?

Reveal hidden contents Yeah those photos of leaders standing directly next to each other, ignoring what's widely been called the number one safety measure, have baffled me since the beginning (from multiple countries) Population itself says something, but population density says even more. I'm guessing Bratislava is Slovakia's most densely populated city (do correct me if I'm wrong), and it's barely even at 30% of the density of the 133rd most densely populated US city. If you're not densely populated, you're going to do a hell of a lot better. To take it to an extreme: even if they might have given everyone in the former Kowloon Walled City a mask, no way it would not have spread like madness there simply because distance If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!
