I know he said it, I read it. I also have no doubts that if asked, he would recommend his compatriot who is currently doing well, the question is though, will Bayern actually ask him to recommend aynone
-
Pretty sure he said that he would recommend Tapia if Bayern asked him to recommend a player

What did you study before? Be ready for a lot of maths, programming and physics if you decide to do it. That's quite a niche field, so you'd likely need a Master's degree to land a job in the industry.

Cheers... Watching Werder makes me lose my will to live, so a steak in the half time was the only way to save the day

Had steak for lunch/dinner today... With roasted baby potatoes and tomato salad.

I accidentally stumbled upon a new game called The Life & Suffering of Sir Brante, and just had to check it out, as for some reason, the name reminded me of Goethe's Die Leiden des jungen Werther and I found it intriguing Very interesting concept... It's more of an interactive visual novel/choose your own adventure/pen-and-paper RPG than a "proper game"; very well written, pretty dark, and deals with quite interesting heavy themes. About one third through now.

And they say the perfect man doesn't exist...

Impressed? I'd propose right there on the spot!

First attempt could be as early as the first week of April, up to five flight attempts are expected within 30 Sols.

A legend of Nürburgring and an extremely lovely human being. RIP... Such sad news. Hope they will rename a part of the circuit in her honour. Legends never die

Looks like it would go well with beer!

If it is indeed disseminated intravascular coagulation, as suspected, then the incidence in general population outside of hospitals is almost 0. It's a condition that is generally caused by major trauma, sepsis, cancer or extreme pregnancy complications, that's why it caused such concern when it suddenly happened in young and healthy people without any apparent reason, and is also the reason why it is being investigated. It is important to find out why it is happening and what triggered it, regardless if it vaccine-related or not. I honestly don't think that suspending the use of one vaccine for two weeks while investigation is ongoing will have a massive impact, especially considering that a) other vaccines are still in use b) partial lockdown & social distancing measures are still in place c) AstraZeneca hasn't delivered that many doses to the EU anyway. Also, the so-called third wave is already there in some countries anyway. One could argue that they could just stop using the two "suspicious" batches and keep on using the other ones, though.

It's not the regular thromboembolism events (i.e. single clot) that is the main cause of concern here though, it's the multiple clotting in unusual places in combination with low platelet count, which together led to brain haemorrhaging and is a very rare condition in general population, and also the fact that it suddenly occured in young(ish), otherwise healthy people in at least 3 different countries in a very short time frame (2-3 weeks).
-
Well, you have to understand though that those potential side effects that are being reported in numerous countries are extremely unusual in general population and therefore need to be properly investigated, as if it's indeed related to the vaccine in any way and if it keeps on happening, then you'll end up with more healthy people dying or in serious, life threatening condition which is unacceptable and could be avoided. Also, unfounded inferences? I don't know, nothing has been proven or denied yet. It could be a set of weird coincidences, some unrelated event that caused excess activation of coagulation system, some issue with the procedure of delivering the vaccine, a contaminated batch or equipment, some other issue in AstraZeneca's EU production line, some specific genetic marker that triggers the reaction, an issue with the vaccine itself, or something entirely different. But it's definitely worrying that there have been at least 40 documented cases in multiple countries within a short timeframe with the same severe symptoms that normally aren't observed in relatively young and healthy people, and so far the only thing linking all those cases is the AstraZeneca vaccine, so for me, stopping the use of it for two weeks until it is properly investigated sounds like a very reasonable thing to do. In fact, that's a pretty standard procedure to take precautionary measures when such severe events occure, regardless if it's a testing phase or a real-life scenario. Straight out rejecting the idea that there might be a potential link of the vaccine and severe side effects is just as bad as being anti-vax, to be honest.

He just did a 140 miles triathlon-inspired-challenge for Red Nose Day a while ago, too. Incredible resilience and strength of character.

I really hope this is the season where Max wins his first title. Would love it to be a close battle until the very last race, really miss the excitement of that. Other than that, midfield looks even better and potentially more competitive than it was last season, so hope for some juicy battles there too.

It's a combination of both - it seems to effectively decrease the risk of both infection and severe disease.

Hmm no, I don't think you have

For those unsure what to do tonight: 25 Jahre Alarm für Cobra 11 series marathon will start in a few moments on RTL Nitro and will go on until 5 o'clock in the morning...
