They launched the website with detailed info about the vaccine: https://sputnikvaccine.com/ All the trial data is supposed to be printed in the article submitted to a major international scientific magazine later this month.

That's likely just a political propaganda and PR, but one of this daughters is a biochemist, so I wouldn't be surprised if she was somehow involved in the trials.

Sure, it's always a good idea to be skeptical about everything, including rushed vaccines. Russian medical science (and virology in particular) has always been well advanced though, so hopefully they got this one right.

Russia approved and registered world's first vaccine against COVID-19. Phase 3 trials still ongoing, will launch it for key frontline workers and in most affected regions now, mass production is set for September/October with distribution for general public planned for January. Fingers crossed this works!

Thank you all

No, but he wasn't involved in today's friendly to prevent any potential injuries, so we're probably close to it!

Definitely. Maxi in particular, as he played well below par and certainly below his 2018/2019 level. Johannes failed to make the transition from youth to professional football in general so far, as much as I'm concerned... I don't understand why he's being played on the wing and in the midfield, but even when he was given a few chances as a striker, he didn't exactly impress either. Definitely had higher hopes for him.

Poor second half, massive quality differences compared to the lineup in the 1st half. Mbom looked pretty good though.

2-0 HT, looked pretty good in the first 30 minutes. Schmid and Agu pretty impressive, Erras with a few dodgy passes, Osako and Füllkrug left the worst impression. New XI for the second half. Dos Santos Haesler - Gebre Selassie, Toprak, Groß, Straudi - Mbom, M. Eggestein, Bittencourt - J. Eggestein, Selke, Woltemade

Not even sweating

Our first pre-season friendly against Braunschweig about to kick off... Pavlenka - Agu, Rieckmann, Friedl, Augustinsson - Erras, Schmid, Klaassen, Osako - Sargent, Füllkrug

Yeah, stuck here with no flights and borders closed...

Same. Love it.

I think I'm going to try it with my next B&W roll...just need to get some fixer. I'm very intrigued, and it's appealing not to have to deal with harsher chemicals. I'm also reading that if used to develop colour negatives, it gives them a sepia tone. Pretty cool too... I'm loving this sample: More here, the portraits look fantastic too... https://www.diyphotography.net/caffenol-processing-film-coffee-supermarket-ingredients/

Alex Rider on Amazon Prime is quite an enjoyable show. Solid adaptation of the book(s).

This is so cool! Apparently, you can also do it with beer... I checked their website, and the results are pretty cool.

Yes, got the reminder from Netflix earlier today! Really looking forward to it... Have you watched it yet???

Yeah, I hope for a good start of the season... That's where we screwed up last year.

Match plan! Starting with Hertha, Schalke, Bielefeld.

Starship did its first 150m hop today!

Whoa...

Fin Bartels returns to Holstein Kiel after 13 years.

It's also a fertilizer. But yeah, seems highly irresponsible to store such amount of potentially dangerous substance without extra precautions.
