Coronavirus Open Thread 2022

And another one is getting the boot - Renata Voracova from the Czech Republic is apparently now sharing lodgings with Novak - though no doubt in a separate room.

What a stuff-up this has become.

This is great. It just shows that they have been making exceptions. Embarrassing. Surely Novak is debating saying fuck it, I’m out of here.

I suspect he will head to the Airport voluntarily - the standard of accommodation wouldn’t be to his liking I suspect, not to mention the food. The question is whether he will wait for his legal team to appear in court again on Monday, or bail out sooner.

Well considering how tight Serbia is with Beijing, I suppose it’s not inconceivable that they would end up on different sides if a conflict did occur.

All the more reason to deport him! :rofl:

It’s going to make the GOAT debate even more complicated. Especially if he’s denied the right to work at the French Open, which seems likely.

By the way, Laver is the GOAT.

I avoided catching COVID today after drinking some Guatemalan coffee.

Guess who thinks the relation between these points has not been clinically demonstrated?

Looks like your seemingly compulsive need for a signature after every post inadvertently answered your question! Intentional? :rofl:

Assuming your snark was directed to me (apologies if not), it would be an understatement for me to say this is apples to oranges: Fighting SARS-CoV-2 with green seaweed Ulva sp. extract: extraction protocol predetermines crude ulvan extract anti-SARS-CoV-2 inhibition properties in in vitro Vero-E6 cells assay [PeerJ]

You can think of it as my signature signature. :slightly_smiling_face:

My snark was actually directed to the post next to it.

Enjoy your day!

“We have not yet seen a signal that there is any increased severity in this age demographic,” Dr. Rochelle Walensky, the C.D.C.’s director, told reporters at a news briefing on Friday. She noted that similar worries about the Delta variant had proved to be unfounded.

Spirulina will finally be the wonder it was claimed to be.

Looks like Novak Djokovic tested positive (again!!) for COVID-19 less than a month ago and this was his reason for asking for a Vaccination Exemption.

“The “exemption certificate” said the date of Djokovic’s first positive COVID-19 PCR test was December 16, 2021, and that he had not had a fever or respiratory symptoms in the past 72 hours.”

A PCR test to Taiwan standards probably would have deemed him positive when he arrived in Melbourne.

Unless the positive test was faked? Pretty convenient timing.

I don’t recall seeing any mention of it in the past few weeks, but yeah, tests positive just before he lodges an Exemption request based on the positive test.

Found this on FB - there is a TV program in Australia (and is on Various Pay TV services) called “Border Security”. Quite popular as it depicts the Immigration and Customs work at Australian Airports - I have passed through Sydney Airport when they were filming - there are signs out that say to advise officials if you dont want to be shown. Anyway, up pops this doctored photo today of Federer and Nadal having a laugh. Perhaps Novak will appear in the show sometime in the future!!
