Talk about overreacting

They are thinking it's a relapse rather than reinfection, but further investigations are necessary.

Unfortunately no details released so far, epidemiological investigations are ongoing...

Three possibilities there: a) False negatives early on, meaning the patients were incorrectly cleared as having recovered while they weren't b) re-infection c) virus staying dormant in the body and then reactivating again This is concerning if it's not a testing issue...

maybe lower the difficulty for a while and then change it back to Jedi Knight once you learn more tricks?

Which difficulty level did you choose? I started on the easiest story mode but it turned out too easy, so I went up one level to Jedi Knight difficulty and it was just about right for me...

Yes, and it keeps on changing as new evidence comes into play. It will take years to get a full picture.

I get your point, but to be fair I think making predictions on a novel virus with a limited data is not the easiest thing to do... Hindsight is a beautiful thing, but when you're dealing with it as it starts happening, failed models resulting in poor predictions are inevitable.

There's always the question if the findings in Gangelt are applicable to other places in Germany, never mind in other countries. I think it should be taken with a grain of salt as different countries and even different regions within a country will have a different fatality rate due to numerous factors. However, I believe that it's also similar to the fatality rates reported in South Korea and Denmark, and even on the Diamond Princess; to me that just confirms that the virus itself is not as scary as long as the hospitals aren't being overrun, hence why lockdowns and other containment measures matter a lot until there's a vaccine/proper effective treatment . That said, Spain's number of actual cases are definitely gigantic either way, I do believe that your estimates for Madrid (or Italy, or any other country with high death count) are not far off. This is an interesting study from Imperial College London. Their estimates are approx. 6 million infected in Italy and 7 million in Spain (as of March 28th). https://www.imperial.ac.uk/media/imperial-college/medicine/sph/ide/gida-fellowships/Imperial-College-COVID19-Europe-estimates-and-NPI-impact-30-03-2020.pdf

Preliminary results of first large-scale randomized study in a heavily affected district in Germany (Gangelt in Heinsberg) found that 14% of population has already been infected and developed immunity. Study shows that the actual case fatality rate is only 0,37%. Original link (in German): https://www.land.nrw/sites/default/files/asset/document/zwischenergebnis_covid19_case_study_gangelt_0.pdf

Who was the last one you couldn't think of? I spent 10 minutes thinking of who the heck had 55 podiums. I think I completely blocked him out in my head

Now I want fish.

Well he never rated Vettel for sure

It's kind of what I was implying. The team atmosphere (and the general atmosphere in the paddock) outside F1 is usually much healthier with less hostility and toxic competition. Especially in WEC or Dakar where it's mostly about the teamwork and not about the individual anyway. If he was such a cunt as portrayed though then one would expect him to struggle in any team, this is definitely not the case so it makes me wonder if it's more specific to the nature of F1 than to Alonso's personality.

I find it interesting though how he doesn't have this reputation in any of the other series he's participated. IndyCar, WEC, Dakar; haven't heard a bad word about him from anyone there nor seen examples of his infamous "attitude". Maybe a lot of it is due to F1 surroundings...

Second from the left?

An antiviral drug named EIDD-2801 has showed promising results on mice and will move into clinical trials soon. Action mechanism similar to that of remdesivir but unlike remdesivir, EIDD-2801 can also be taken as a pill instead of having to be administred intravenously, so offers better ease of treatment and potentially prophylaxis. Could be potentially used together with remdesivir for greater efficacy. https://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2020-04/uonc-ana040320.php
