  1. And rightfully so, ours is way better ?
  2. turns out he is alive ?
  3. I bet it would probably go the same way Italy and Spain asking for help from rest of EU two weeks ago with no one know how bad it will get in their own country. A governor sending out help to other states but causing his own state to lack funds or manpower to battle this is committing political suicide.
  4. For Politicians putting the complete blame on China distracts us from their incompetence in handling this. As for it being proven its completely natural but I doubt we will see the answer to that any time soon.
  5. Ah well just doing my normal job, but hearing the urgency of the people to get their equipment really makes me think how bad most governments ***** up on this. Back in February I was telling everyone, they should put everyone coming back from Italy and Switzerland in Quarantine for a month, even though back then I also had doubts on how serious it was because the news and politicians were downplaying it. I think great leadership sometimes also is taking unpopular decisions and being able to see far ahead , leaving these decisions in the hands of politicians is the worst and won't help resolve this anytime soon. Pretty sure our political leaders even now still go in against scientists on some matters.
  6. I think over here they are finally seeing that having most of your manufacturing abroad makes you week in times like these. USA might use the defense act to keep all ventilators in the country , all though made by European companies we can't access them. Same goes for China owning 80 % of pharmaceutical resources in the world. As for my job its really getting hectic, working cargo side of an airport, passenger planes come in empty to deliver and pick up cargo, extra cargo planes coming in. A lot of Medical masks, getting phone calls non stop for hospitals all over Europe. Hope this ends soon so I can do my job normally again instead investing so much time in phone calls and emails.
  7. Larsson for me is one of the better 4C's in the league, I'd give him a 5x2 mill contract. If Zemgus had better puck control he would help larry a lot more. And I like Angry larry pissing opponents off.
  8. Last two years he has been making mistakes , and they have been heard by many of us during games. One more year of RJ seems fine for me. Let him enjoy retirement and if we do end up in a stanley cup final have him come back for it ?
  9. Only reasonable thing to do when it comes about public health, anyone that thinks this will be over by August is dreaming. We are the only league in Europe that stopped this football season thinking it will be hard enough to start the new season on time. UEFA just threatened to ban us from European games next year but really ***** them. They are only thinking about the money they loose and the big five losing billions if the seasons are cancelled.
  10. American dates confuse me anyway ?
  11. Its that good huh ? I read something about this in the paper here about hollywood loving the show so thought I wouldn't give it a shot. But now I will have to lol.
  12. 45 million I think, basically ended WWI. I think population was around 1.5 billion back then and world travel not going so fast I think in todays standard if that hit us it would be like 500 million for sure.
  13. I think JBOTT did treat him very well.
  14. I'm still busy working every day and I'm glad for it ?
  15. I think they would just do playoffs if it ever starts up again, but I'm afraid with the late measures taken season is over yes. I'm counting since first reported case that everyday they waited to do a lockdown, I'm adding an extra 3 days of lockdown.
  16. You are good man, but I don't think if this breaks out in Africa anything can be done about it. The west is in no position to help those countries out. The only one that will is China.
  17. Still going to work everyday - Passenger side of airport is closed but cargo side still running like usual minus the passenger flights. Might even have more cargo flights coming but we'll see what if that actually happens. Its bound to dry up sooner than later with the entire industry down.
  18. Don't know him is he supposed to be somewhate decent ? ?
  19. The only thing my country did right is Isolate the elderly really fast, still 50% of people in hospital are under the age 50 at the moment. Can you Imagine like in Italy have to take old people of the respirators to save the young ones. Everyone severely sick over 60, they don't even bother anymore. They just hope they pull out of it but all treatment goes to young people with better survival chances.
  20. Over here more believe the Virus would have been released in China to cripple their economy and not vice versa. ?
  21. That might end up being the case if you look at Italy.
  22. Well with Mariota going to the Raiders, Carr probably will still be traded to the Patriots.
  23. Ah some of you know more about this than me, but do find it strange South-Korea got their ***** together so fast. Now Montenegro has leadership I can appreciate, closed borders 2 weeks in advance of the rest of Europe. Everyone coming from certain risk countries like Italy / Switzerland / slovenia got put in Quarantine back then. 0 infections there so far.
  24. not really true, both SARS and MERS are both in the Corona family and test kits based on those are being used in Asia. Also the reason why they believe Chloroquine that was used against malaria in the day will help against Covid-19. Was already found to be useful against SARS in a lab here in Belgium in 2004. The Chinese got informed about that and started using it though was never tested outside of a lab.
  25. It most likely been going around much longer, thing is that countries like South-Korea that had to deal with SARS have a good supply of test kits. Something the West is severely lacking in.
