  1. Caronavirus & Tokyo 2020

    People die left and right because of the flu too. You just don't care about them.

    I am still practicing and I have stories. Switched to a slighty slower blade with a handle I have already modified ( considering modifying the handle on my old blade but I haven't decided yet). Trying to move, loop and counterloop much more aggressively. It is all work in progress. They...
  3. Caronavirus & Tokyo 2020

    Confirmed means the person was diagnosed with the disease. Not everyone diagnosed needs treatment.
  4. Caronavirus & Tokyo 2020

    How did you miss the # confirmed?
  5. Caronavirus & Tokyo 2020

    The Olympics is months away. If it isn't contained by then it will never be.

    I never lacquered it. I think a blade that needs to be lacquered is just a blade you shouldn't buy.

    In controlled conditions what is the projection?
  8. Caronavirus & Tokyo 2020

    Many people won't get tested and it will drive up the rates for the death rate. As the article I sent showed many are asymptomatic. So the virus is not going to have good statistics that reflect the truth about the disease. If you are in a risk category or you take care of someone in a risk...
  9. Caronavirus & Tokyo 2020

    Isn't it a coronavirus? Is he saying that because the flu and Sars 1 don't have any patterns or is he saying that because he wants to be cautious as a scientist? There are other virologists who have said that these kinds of viruses tend not to do well and propagate as well in warmer...
  10. Caronavirus & Tokyo 2020

    But what makes you so sure that the exposure vectors are not already formidable? And given that most people who catch the virus recover fairly quickly, what is the main goal? The Olympics will also be held during the summer. Flu isn't a big deal then. Isn't it more likely than not this...
  11. Caronavirus & Tokyo 2020

    The virus is going to spread whether we like it or not. The question is whether what not having the Olympics actually achieves.
  12. Road to Tokyo 2020: Chinese TT Team

    The same Ding Ning who beat Mima Ito a month prior? IT is easy to overstate the importance of one match in the scheme of things. No matter how bad a beating it is one match. The risk of losing is there with any opponent so it is not just about that. Note that Ito was similarly hopeless when...
  13. Road to Tokyo 2020: Chinese TT Team

    You aren't answering the question. Why did Chen Meng have a devastating record vs LSW and still lose to LSW in the WTTC finals? The same can be caused about Chen Meng AND Zhu Yuling and their recent records before last year's Asian Cup. Again not saying that Chen Meng can't win vs Ito. I am...
  14. Road to Tokyo 2020: Chinese TT Team

    If Chen Meng is such a riskless choice, can anyone explain why she has absolutely zero major continental or world titles to her name? Because she brings her best game at those moments?
  15. Road to Tokyo 2020: Chinese TT Team

    I think Chen Meng has significantly helped her stock. Zhu Yuling or Liu Shiwen may get pulled from an event to give Chen Meng a chance.
  16. Road to Tokyo 2020: Chinese TT Team

    No, this is not true at all. Again you are focused on just one thing. The coaches have a more intimate view of these things. They will only leave Ding and Liu out if they truly believe that the problems are not fixable. And given how much adaptation those 2 have done throughout their...
  17. Road to Tokyo 2020: Chinese TT Team

    They may select Chen Meng, but the idea that someone cannot fix their game in 6 months to beat an opponent that they couldn't beat prior has been debunked multiple times in the past. If you remember there was a time that it was believed that the Chinese had decided Ito around this time last...
  18. Caronavirus & Tokyo 2020

    I have had a fever for the past 3 days and I am not sure what to make of it. But other than my difficulty digesting food, it hasn't been terrible. But I have had to sleep a lot. Since I am. Ot showing any major respiratory symptoms I consider it a stomach flu. But I did have to miss work on...

    Changing equipment comes with its share of frustrations... I now have to admit to myself that my current setup is too fast for me. In this case, I have grown to love the rubber but the blade just doesn't give me the comfort I need to use the rubber when blocking. I switched the slowest Carbon...
