I am hearing second hand that the treatment protocols have improved and that doctors are feeling more confident that after this first wave is over, they will be able to handle the second wave much better.

Seems by the time you get one ventilator, in most cases it is too late. I find it interesting that there are no stats anywhere (probably to reduce fear), but a Channel 4 video mentioned it and a doctor from an unofficial channel gave a high %. So the focus on very ventilators is likely...

How do you know it is not the spinniest?

One of the top coaches I know said that the best student he ever coached was someone who he would never have picked as talented. So he is always wary of people saying that talent can be picked ahead of time. Motivation varies and counts for a lot so let people sort their effort and results out...

Would be nice to read the paper and share that widely as well. It seems a very interesting coincidence that this just happened to start in a location where a lot of analysis of viruses in bats takes place. Come to think of it, it actually makes sense and obviously leakage from a lab isn't likely.

6 hours a week is nothing.

That's my point. It was written before the pandemic so we are on the same page. I actually shared it with a few people.

I am not sure I fully trust articles written in the midst of the current crisis by a source with a clear bias, but an article written months before the pandemic is exactly the kind of thing that shows what we are dealing with.

There is another point to make - usually, in a real match, if you can control the ball of your opponent, it is very important because the more power you put into a shot relative to your technical limit, the harder it is to recover from playing the shot. Moreover, many people can't repeatedly...

Well, it depends on what your goals are - if you want to improve, you need controlled drills to understand your game better. I suspect your father doesn't find technical development fun and just doesn't even want to do it. This is not an uncommon attitude. In fact, one of the things about...

I love it. Are they going to donate the cure for free to the world?

So is it effective or placebo?

Yes, which is why if things suck in a year, they can cancel then again. Finding the right balance is hard, but not living life has consequences.

There are many things they have to balance. There are many interests involved and they (IOC) will not get compensated by insurance companies unless they make every attempt possible to hold the Olympics.

Is there good evidence that respirators/ventilators improve survival rates in people sick enough to use them?

I think squash/volleyball/badminton are your best bet. Good luck if you find anything better because I would like to know too.

If you have the stomach to sit through some of the briefings, the blatant campaigning is nauseating.

This is interesting even if only a simulation. https://www.cityam.com/coronavirus-may-have-infected-half-of-uk-population-according-to-experts/

And I think that is the main difference - you have a population smart enough to take these things seriously - very few people I suspect will get sick and go and hide. Most will self-quarantine. It will be interesting to see the outcome and see whether central government controls would have...
