Long summary from an Estonian virologist Irja Lutsar https://www.etis.ee/CV/Irja_Lutsar/est?tabId=CV_ENG , using Google translate. Just for comparison, nothing else (she is not a tinfoil hat person). I put together this week's thoughts on the coronavirus. The keyword for this week is Italy, for...

So, who are then those who buy house at that price? Because otherwise the price on the price tag would be lower? How much does a piece of land (lets say 1000 m2) cost in the same area, where house with land is 400 000 USD?

Yes, i believe, that there are better and more suitable persons than Trump or current democratic candidates. However, do you really believe, that for example current China and Russia behind the scenes consider Buttigieg as an opponent that you should respect and not piss off, otherwise bad...

As citizen of tiny country for whom USA is a ally - i would prefer a POTUS who can be both like Yasser Seirawan when everything is good and you need to be a charming guy and a real badass who has balls similar to Liam Neeson in the movie Taken. IMHO non of those democratic candidates won't get...

I agree with you. Although maybe the mishap was that the beta version of this virus got out (which might have some "bugs" i.e not cured as easy as it was designed). Of course, to claim that it is a bioweapon should be based on good evidence. That is why on my earlier post jokingly suggested...

Again, were those also tin-foil hat guys and conspiracy nuts who did not believe Soviet propaganda? Well, i just hope that maybe a combination of Soviet Union experience, garlic, ginger, honey and fresh fruits will keep the virus away :-).

One Brow, I am not a tin-foil-hat person, but why do you seem to be 100% sure, that it is not a biolab mishap? Based on my experience, you should never trust the information that is given by Russia or China. For comparison, during the Chernobyl disaster, the Soviet leaders also said that there...

:-) Just food for thoughts and discussion, that's the reason why message boards exist. I guess for some time China will not try to extend its grip on South China sea using man made islands etc.

I know it is hypothetical and probably would be considered non-ethical-sportsmanlike behaviour even by Trump and other tough politicians, but isn't the easy method to verify the seriousness of the virus, if the all big countries (USA, UK, Japan, France, Germany etc) would recognize the...

If it is true, then it seems that the virus is kind of "rascist" i.e the asians have a higher chance to get it. Copy-paste from that Twitter post: What I do understand: Coronavirus enters the body through ACE-2 cells, whitch Asian men, have a lot more, compared to other humans. East Asians...

Maybe not +35 degrees Celsius, but history and personal experience has shown, that regular use of warm sauna (+80 degrees celsius and above) helps to keep all kinds of flu like viruses away. I guess that all kind of coronary viruses are not as common in Miami or near the coast of Mediterranean...

Small info regarding the temperature and survival of the virus: https://www.phnompenhpost.com/national/cambodia-too-hot-virus For those who are not in Cambodia - use finnish/scandinavian/russian style sauna as much as possible. Well, once a week sauna in general is good for health. Is it easy to...

China has already put several cities under quarantine; according to the US federal and state laws - would that be possible (de jure) in USA? I guess in Europe it might be possible de jure (not sure about the law) but technically impossible to implement; not enough police or other enforcing...

Is the salary for US Embassy personnel much higher in problematic countries than in Europe or some other safe and beautiful country? It seems, that for example, Maldives does not have an US Embassy (at least not as large as in Baghdad) but French Polynesia has in Tahiti.

In Estonia and in Europe in general the tipping is not compulsory i.e both de jure and de facto the owners and the servers should not be angry should you not tip. Sometimes we have tipped a la when we had a birthday party at the restaurant, then we gave about 30 EUR (total bill for 15 persons...

Gameface, how US based restaurants and eateries find employees if the conditions are as bad as told here (no health insurance, ultra minimum salary i.e the owner expects that you earn your salary from tips from the customers)? Of course, maybe for some months it is good for a rookie to...

So far no problems with NATO troops in Estonia. Hopefully sooner or later some hiker or mushroom picker will find the remains of a missing AMRAAM, too (accidental shooting by the Spanish air force a year ago) :-). I guess that the trash talk between the actual military specialists (who do the...

Why do you need so called "campaign money" in USA? Assuming your income is little bit more than Al Bundy or Homer Simpson look/behave-alike? Aren't posters and ads in the media enough assuming you are popular and well liked in general? Should for example Bill Gates want do be elected as POTUS -...

I have always wondered about what prevented superstars to shoot more threes between 1985-2000? Were they afraid that coaches will put them in the doghouse or were they too much self-critical i.e they thought they were bad shooters? It seems there was some kind of invisible law, that forced...

Gameface and Onebrow, My only evidence and comparison is that black people in US complain, that life was/is bad in US during that time period. Most of the whites in Estonia during the Soviet occupation (specially under the Stalin regime) also have said, that life was kind of bad. So which one...
