Where’s “here”? ?

I watched the Trump press event last night and was very weird*, I don’t understand… this partnership with private mega corps does it mean you are getting free tests in Walmart’s parking lots?

*It was weird, at least to me, because I’ve never seen using private companies in this way, and setting them all lined up like that felt like watching an Apple keynote, rather than a political press event

Boosted boards must be selling out ?

Idiots youth colleagues today “let’s go out this weekend before we have to stay home” ?

Well doesn't seem SARS taught anything, this seems to be spreading worse. We'll see, fingers crossed, we do need to all come together stronger out of this.

(At the same time I think these events are Mother Nature's attempts to keep humans to lower numbers)

Well I subscribed to my toilet paper on Amazon, got last delivery just before this started, I'm settled for a bit

In a certain way you could say that, but no, there will be or there is the potential shortage because of the pandemic (or whatever other disaster).

Watch the video I posted for the example about IV bags and meds shortage. Atm there is scarcity of masks and alcohol. Medical masks were ironically made in big part in Whuan. We depend from China so much in terms of production… they are slowly starting again but production has slowed down for sure. If is not production the problem, there are no workers to move the goods (someone needs to load and drive the trucks).

Countries that heavily rely on import (UK produces so little vegetables for example) what are they gonna do when there are no farmers picking them in Spain/Italy etc. And with chain disrupted as per above can you even count stuff will be moved across?

Hopefully I didn’t misunderstand what you mean ✌?

Well this will keep some people indoor for a while ? ?

«What people don’t understand is that this is gonna go on for months … We CONSERVATIVELY estimate 48 million ospitalisation, … 480,000 deaths that can occur in the next 3-7 months. This is not one to take lightly … We are not gonna have a vaccine soon, that’s happy talk»

You should realise that in Italy they are not testing doctors for Covid-19 anymore, because it’s an “all hands on deck” situation and very little staff and departments are available for non-covid patients. Doctors are working 16 hours shifts.

More importantly in the areas with most cases medical staff has to choose who’s being left to die, just like happens on the frontlines in war. There’s simply not enough respirators to help all those that need them.

The virus ? incubate for 4 days, stays alive in air for 30 min, 8h on surfaces. A carrier or infected should/will infect at least two people, and they are infectious way before having symptoms (coughing), the virus levels in this phase is 10,000 times than with SARS.

Obesity is a prime pre-existing factor for complications in young/middle-age people.

Take a look!

Fantastic, I would only suggest to put the subscribe button at the top as well, or even better have a sticky bar that sits there wherever you are scrolling. Can be achieved super easily in CSS no need of JavaScript, if is a page you coded yourself.

The other thing I’d comment is the title of the page needs more word-tracking because a few are very close and look like a long word between spacing and characters stroke.

Best of luck with the tournament ✌?

Hey don’t be cheap, show some new screens ?

Well this was unexpected, at least I didn’t know was happening

Is everyone just overreacting like crazy or is this really as serious as it's being made out to be? I am honestly confused. I get that older people and people with weakened immune systems are more at risk, but the panicked response to this on a global scale so far has really surprised me. I don't remember this much panic during SARS or other similar events.

I think everybody understimated it, or just communication wasn't good, but the sense I get from some doctor's statements is that they too did understimate it t some extent. Anyway, also young patients get it, and they also have to be in Intensive Care.

Because of all the confused messaging, politicians trying to capitalise on the event, in Italy the outbreak is exemplar and already edging on the capacity of the infrastructure in the areas that have been hit the most. Because of the lame announcements now people in the red zones have run to whatever their families are (you have weekly and monthly commuters from the south working or studying in the north) so it's likely the whole system will be tested to its limits.

The doctor's testimonies that are coming out on social networks make me think/imagine of a collapse alike the one from The Division... unlikely but I think all eyes on there to see how a country can be stressed by the virus. From what I understand in China the volume of new cases has started to decline, whilst in Italy was still rising of 50% increments day-over-day, and with idiots partying because schools are closed, I can only imagine the trent to continue for a while. Tonight they declared the whole company a "red area" and we are a few cases to be the second country in the world for number of cases.

Also why they used the IDF as ct models. Mirage is also based off Morocco and on that map they used frensh and arabic to get they point across, but also didnt use the IDF as their ct models. Current CSGO Dust 2 is very clearly base on Morocco.

Mirage uses SAS CTs, which are UK, not French. (I can remember the GIGN only used in Cache tbh)

The point to determine the location is not in the Arab language but French: France colonised a big chunk of Africa but mostly the western coast… looking at architecture you can really think only of Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia as reference. A quick search of “Morocco/Algeria/Tunisia fortress” shows the closest architectural similarities are with Morocco really, although they (unfortunately) didn’t capture any distinguishable landmark from that beautiful country and overall is a very loose adaptation.

According to logic, the IDF shouldn’t have anything to do in ex-French colonies because they are a continent’s away. It made some sense before*, as was clearly set in neighbouring countries, but the current choice of CT team doesn’t make sense, I think Valve kept IDF just for consistency (what players are used to) and not for fidelity.

*in reality they should have never wasted time on the IDF force, when is the last time you heard of Israeli forces support any NATO operation? Considering the number of maps set in Italy they could have rather created models for that.

Imagine what they can do with Opposing Force ?

Is this a remaster if the original? I remember trying a demo but finding the controls very clunky so never played it.

Just watched this the other day

14 days until it’s out.

I wasn’t really counting, but as time has drew closer, after listening to Martin’s most recent press, this is sneaking up on me and slowly building pressure.

Guess I’m in a mood for “mindless” shooting, I was about to download Painkiller after realising I have it in my library the other night

God’s creation doing god’s will

?

Yeah but what I mean you waited 15 years, there’s no reason to pay an overpriced device. They are gonna restock it.
