sifnos and serifos are the best "mainstream".
Sifnos propably the best beaches after serifos. Kastro (the castle)
Also the island with 365 churches. One for every day of the year (hear that elok? and they're beautiful too next to the waves)

serifos a very well kept secret (there are few more) agios sostis beach (the beach of saint savior - literally)

You want to dwelve deep into the secrets of the most beautiful country in the world?

I've been across a lot of Greece. Mainland, something like 10 of the islands, beautiful country!

Looks like there’s two outbreaks confirmed, a bigger one in Beijing and a smaller one in Guangzhou.

Chinese government blaming it on foreign...salmon lol

Not a biologist but how could the virus jump from bats to fish ?

Will post a Western/English source if I can find it

Salmon, or red herring?

Looks good. Glad we waited.

It is not that great. I buys time so your immune system has longer to clear the virus. Acalabrutinib looks like it can actually help your immune system clear the virus. The best treatment will probably require a combination of drugs/approaches.

Keep drinking bleach.

Just like HIV/AIDS, which they still haven't found a cure for in 35+ years, but they can at least now prevent you from dying with a cocktail of drugs...

They have also trained doggies to sniff out positive COVID cases...

EU vs USA, current graph...

[N35t0r]

How would that look in cases per capita?

[MOBIUS]

Ha, just as well the UK left the EU already, otherwise we'd have skewed their stats!

[Egbert]

I hear the UK is planning to discuss a trade deal with Australia. You can look forward to enjoying Tim Tams.

* Note for Europeans. A Tim Tam is a chocolate biscuit which is very popular here in Australia.

[Provost Harrison]

Hurrah! The UK is saved!

[Dauphin]

The fact that BoJo’s top point was tariffs on exporting penguins (effectively the same as a TimTam) and importing TimTams is the basis for the trade deal does hammer home that increasing tariffs on European medicines due to Brexit is totally worth it.

[Dauphin]

For the uninitiated.

We did it, we flatted the curve!
