two iranian university students diagnosed with covid-19 in hungary. both visited iran recently, then returned to hungary after that.

one fucker didn't follow the protocol (you visit your doctor immediately and don't visit public institutes for 2 weeks after coming back from an infected area), attended his classes for more than a week before the symptoms started to show. :sergio: einstein was right, human stupidity is infinite.

It's a confusing situation though, isn't it?
I mean, why would you consult a doctor if you don't have any symptoms?

If I look at the situation in Belgium: literally tens of thousands of people* were on holiday in northern Italy last week(end). It's obviously impossible to test everyone upon their return, so guidelines over here are pretty simple: if you're sick consult a doctor, if not don't.

* I personally know a bunch of them & have come in contact with them almost daily since their return. No symptoms whatsoever for the time being, but it makes perfect sense that this virus is spreading so easily.

‘twas a joke, dude.

Chinese and Vietnamese eating dogs is a stereotype here. Though I suppose China isn’t even SE Asian so I should have just written Chinese people eat dogs. :oops:

Not so much in my country. Just the other days 2 Vietnamese were suspected of killing 2 dogs and hiding the meat in the freezer. They took samples to analyze it.

because the authorities and the regulations of the university said so. i get the confusion, but these measures were established for a reason, and at least i am not in position to debate them at all, so if i was returning from an infected area like northern italy or iran, i would consult a doctor and stay away from public places until the incubation period passes, no questions asked. i'd probably rent a room in a local hotel and wouldn't even return home just to avoid infecting my son, my gf, and especially my mother and stepfather (68 and 70) under any conditions. just common sense i guess.

these phd students aren't virologists themselves to question the measures. one of them followed the protocol, didn't visit the university campus (still infected his wife, they are both in quarantine), the other one went to his regular classes plus visited a language course. now the authorities are trying desperately to track down those who might have contacted this idiot.

and i repeat, i get the confusion. like 3-4 weeks ago, a well-known hungarian infectologist gave an interview about covid-19, and he speculated that the virus can be contained in china, and a pandemic can be avoided. it was a sensible, considered interview from a knowledgeable person. some weeks later, we have ~150 deaths in italy. it's not some joke, it's more serious than most expected.

Just back from visiting grandpa at the hospital. If you want to enter the radiotherapy station, you have to wear gloves, mask and a scrub. Been there before and never ever did i have to wear all this. I'm guessing it's to protect the patients from Corona? I asked but didn't get a clear answer. Apparently it's to protect the patients from what the visitors might bring with them unknowingly.

Would be a big coincidence if this weren't Corona safety measures implemented to protect weakened old people.
So it's true :lol:

What happened: Women called the ambulance for her husband. Reported strong back pain, sneezing and coughing.

Ambulance picked him up, gave him a mask and whatnot.

They arrive at the hospital, and the doctor there puts off his mask before testing him for Corona.

That's it. Caused the entire hospital to go crazy. He didn't have Corona btw.

Do you hate Mike Pence because he wants to decorate Route 66 with crucified homosexuals? (both sides of the road, 10 feet between each cross)

Don't let your dreams be dreams
I didn’t know he wanted to do that.

important question tho, will the homosexuals on the crosses be kept alive and well fed? Because if so, I think that might increase tourism to the US. Therefore, boosting the economy.
