  1. Under the "practice" menu, there is "start a teaching table" as an option. It will help. Google translate: Sous le menu "pratique", il y a "démarrer une table d'enseignement" en option. Ça aidera.

  5. In stark contrast, the growth in new positive cases in the UK has been 10%-15% every day for the last 3-4 days. This is despite the lock-down having begun over a week ago. Disheartening.

  12. Here is a video from Saagar ( ) which brings sharply into focus why Biden is a poor choice.
  13. He seems to be delighted by the massive viewership figures he gets on the daily briefings. That, and deflecting all criticism, is where his focus seems to reside.
  14. Thank you. I have copied the links (especially the Charlene Babcock video) and shared on WhatsApp so that the doctors in my contacts can see this. If it gets circulated widely, it might generate the necessary awareness to ensure hospitals adopt it where practical.
  15. I am not alarmed at all, I look at the news as a positive development. The number of patients will probably rise for a while and the fact that the Govt. is taking concrete, positive actions is welcome. On a separate note, although I have not been very diligently tracking the infection numbers for the UK, early signs are that the new positives have shown a small downturn. It might be due to some of the actions taken last week, or it might be sheer coincidence. However, if the slowdown is real then, fingers crossed, we might see a sharp slowdown in the next week or so provided people continue to obey the social distancing guidelines. I'm hoping this does happen!
  16. I must say the daily briefings of your Great President are insane. In normal times, it would not have mattered much as to who you have as President. It is in times of stress that the true leadership of the holders of important offices comes to the forefront. And I must say the current holder of that important office is literally a clown. Oh the misery! PS: According to betting odds, he is as likely to be elected to a second term as of Biden becoming the next President.
  17. Sky News (UK) also covered the situation in Bergamo a couple of days ago. The doctors in Bergamo wanted to convey a message: "watch this and take heed" (Caution: the video makes difficult and stressful viewing)
  18. https://[remove this before copying]www.bridgeshop.com.au/digital-bridge-care-pack If I type the link here without the [text], the automated feature on this forum will hide the full link.
  19. I thought the action I adopted was standard, barely deserving second thought. I doubled, then passed partner's 3♠. I think I scored just over 35% on the board. It seems a larger proportion of Souths found a way to reach game which I found perplexing (hence the post).
  20. If the spread of the disease can also occur through PM2.5 particulates, the situation is going to get ugly sometime in the coming months. Various cities (especially in developing economies) have very high PM2.5 pollution.
  21. Perhaps the interesting thing would be to check the stock trading patterns of those Pharma companies whose drugs are touted to be good during the briefing. I haven't checked the price behaviours but it seems likely that the share prices of companies whose drugs are named by the President see a spurt. Decent enough to benefit from, if one knows the info in advance.
  22. Let's hope the US administration knows how best to control the spread within the country. According to the worldometer website (link), the number of cases recorded is growing at an alarming 40+% per day. I believe the typical trend elsewhere was that cases doubled every 5 days; if the USA is showing a trend of doubling every 2 or 2.5 days, this is going to get out of hand very very fast.
  23. MPs vs. bots (hand from Daylong MP tournament) [hv=pc=n&s=sqjt82hdaq7cakjt3&d=e&v=n&b=2&a=p1s2hp3h]133|200[/hv] 1. Would you dbl (takeout) now? Is a 4♣ bid a better action? 2. Assuming you choose to double, and bidding goes (pass) 3♠ (pass), would you consider bidding game? Thank you
  24. https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/world/china-bought-the-west-time-with-the-coronavirus-the-west-squandered-it/ar-BB118VnD?li=AAggNb9 I think the Western governments (including the UK Govt.) are guilty of hubris. The level of unpreparedness is shocking. Can anyone imagine our Health Secretary reaching out to China seeking to borrow doctors/nurses who have dealt with the COVID onslaught?
