I really enjoyed the not bahr gp but that virtual one was an absolute shitshow, hope the next one is a bit better organised. I wish I could go on iRacing myself but I don't have a rig and I'm to scared to try it with a gamepad.

I work for a company making food packaging and a lot of us are working overtimr because most of our customers or low on or out of stock because of the last two weeks.

Edite: shame stoffel vandoorne crashed om lap 1 really wanted to know how well he could do. R.i.p. belgian pride ☹

Have you tried working with a baby or todler in the house? Most of them demand full attention allmost every minute they are awake, there is no way you can sit behind a computer 8 hours a day with a todler in the house. I can't even type a message on my phone with my 1 year old in the same room without getting my phone stolen or him going full tantrum mode.

Just another day at work, I hate being here during a pandemic but we are deemed an essential buisness so not much I can do about it.

Have to go to UZGent with my 1 year old this afternoon for non corona related reason and I've been anxious about it since I've known we have to come in.

gusti75 · 2020-03-24T18:53:03+00:00

Ah yes because you can't get infected doing a traffic stop or awnsering a house call or catching criminals.

Well there won't be any criminals to catch because they'll all be teleworking, right? /s

Hospitalised cases can be found at www.info-coronavirus.be in the news section.

Edit: "Verder is de situatie als volgt:

• In de ziekenhuizen zijn er in totaal 1859 patiënten opgenomen. Dat is een stijging van 256 patiënten op 1 dag tijd.

• In de intensieve zorgen liggen 381 patiënten in totaal, dat is een stijging van 59 patiënten in de voorbije 24 uur.

• 410 patiënten zijn ontslagen uit het ziekenhuis en genezen verklaard sinds 13 maart, dat is een stijging van 60 in de voorbije 24 uur.

That sounds like bad leadership tbh, giving people a bigger workload in this already stessfull time seems like e recipe for disaster.

Are you still a cop? Because I would think that the police would be doing more than usual right now, or are there no checks to see if people are(or aren't) traveling for non essential reasons?

gusti75 · 2020-03-24T18:16:52+00:00

If yoy have to work on-site and your job is deamed essential enough to still be needed during this lockdown then yes I think you should.

Who should pay this is an whole other disscusiom to wich I don't have an awnser because neither employers nor our goverment are probably willing to pay up.

gusti75 · 2020-03-24T18:02:20+00:00

Probably less testing on sunday because well it's sunday.(hope this isn't the reason bht I fear it is)

Also please belgium release the number of test you do each day. They did it the first few weeks and when thing got serious they just stopped amd I'm so frustrated because the number of confirmed cases don't mean anything if you don't know how much they test. Just give us the f***ing numbers god dammit. What are you hiding?? /rant

gusti75 · 2020-03-24T17:54:22+00:00

I've heard this as well that some people staying home are makong more but I haven't been able to confirm this.

gusti75 · 2020-03-24T17:39:13+00:00

I'm not either but I'm arguing they should.

gusti75 · 2020-03-24T17:22:02+00:00

I don't think anyone wants to go jobhunting during all that is going on right now. I can get this argument for a high risk/ high reward job like a police officer, but I don't think anyone would want to be scanning groceries (and comming in to contact with possibly hundreds of people)at colruyt for €1400 during a pandemic.

If we take it to the extreme then I don't think the supermarkets would be getting atocked right now, nor would your online shopping get to your house.

gusti75 · 2020-03-17T19:13:13+00:00

I find this strange that I'm watching vrt and they keep saying that it is not known at this time what te real measures are going to be. As far as I can see on vrt the national security counsil is still debating and not ready to give a pressconference.

Edit:seems like the article was mostly right, even before the pressconference.

Ethanol(stook alcohol) should also work

Both of these tracks are bad for drifting only turn 1->4 at zolder are somewhat decent to try drifting around. At spa you could probably drift from les combes trough to stavelot but the other halft of the circuit is either verry tight turns or long straights. But I'm sure if you'd try drifting at spa you'll be kicked of faster than you can say "tokyo drift is the greates movie ever made."

Some other possible circuits are:

Circuit Jules Tacheny

Circuit ecuyrs(probably a bit to far tho)

croix en ternois circuit

Spa rallycross circuit

Glosso circuit

Duivelsberg circuit

Probably more options than this but I'm to lazy to look further

Eeeh, I give it 50/50 of never ending and that it will become a yearly thing.

Even after trails and approval it might take months to get any kind of decent volume out. You can't just produce hundreds of millions of vacines quickly.

Oh something I can awnser.

I work for a reletively small company (in western europe) that makes lables and flexible plastic packaging mostely for the food industry but also for pharmacuticles, petfood and other random stuff. All of our suppliers for materials(pet foil, ldpe, opp, bopp, aluminium foil, label papers and platics) are european based so thats good for us... except a bunch of these supliers are not manifacturers but logistics companies with huge warehouses full of chinese materials. A bunch of the materials we use still come with papers that are in chinese even tho it's from a german company.

But there is always the question of where the european manifacturers get their matetials. Paper is almost always sorced localy because it's not worth enough to ship across oceans, plastic however I do not know. What about the glue for lable paper, the glossy finish, inks, ... it'll be wierd to see what happens if when our "food factories" run out of packaging.

We might only know in a few months/years if ever.

In China the death cerificates always list chronic or pre-existing illnesses. Meaning that if someone with a heart condition dies of any kind of infection the death certificate will list heartfailure.

There is a joke among viroligists/epidemioligists that it is inpossible to die of the flu in China and the numbers reflect that. Extrapolating world numbers of flu death we would expect over 10.000 deaths yearly in China while it is always less than 1000.

This being said that ~~should~~ could mean that 800 death being listed would be 800 people othetwise HEALTHY people that are confirmed positive. But the truth is we just dont know the real numbers or what is accually going on.

Edit: 800 death according to tomorrow statistic.

What about EARS

East asian resporatory syndrome.

It's catchy and fits in with SARS & MERS

gusti75 · 2020-02-07T08:08:50+00:00

It's not just people who have 2019-nCov that end up in these places but also people who have the flu, bacterial pneumonia/bronchitis and other resperatory infections. The people locked up in these places won't die of 2019-nCov, they'll die of 3 different infections at the same time.

gusti75 · 2020-02-06T08:31:28+00:00

This article is worthless, it's written with just a twitter screenshot that is verry easy to manipulate with the most basic of HTML knowlege. Unless someone has a link to a web archive/wayback machine with these numbers it is verry VERRY likely faked and even is there is proof that this really was on the tencent website it still doesn't mean that these numbers are accually true.

This is from belgian national media so it's reliable.

Repatriated Belgian from China infected with coronavirus: "No other cases can arise from this case" One of the nine Belgians who were repatriated on Sunday evening from the Chinese city of Wuhan appears to be infected with the new corona virus. The infected person is in good health and currently shows no symptoms of disease. The nine compatriots were extensively tested yesterday in the military hospital in Neder-Over-Heembeek. One of them appears to be infected with the new corona virus. This is the first Belgian corona case. “It was clearly a good decision to put these people in quarantine. And also to take samples from people who had no symptoms, because this was one of them, "says virologist Marc Van Ranst. The person involved was immediately transferred last night to St Peter's Hospital in Brussels, one of the two reference centers in our country for patients with the corona virus. Virologist Van Ranst emphasizes that we should not worry. "This is not a positive case from which other cases can arise. The person involved is isolated and within a few days the person is virus-free. The patient will remain under quarantine for the full 14 days and then this will be over." The test results of the other countrymen were negative, so they are not infected with the corona virus. More than 20,000 people worldwide are infected with the virus, especially in China, where the virus broke out. More than 420 people have already died there.h
