    That's exactly what worries me the most. What if, lets say with end of April/May, most of the measures are taken down, and the curve rises dramatically again, so that hospitals are once again completely overloaded, will there be a second shutdown? and if so, how long will this cycle of ups and downs continue?

    Untill there is a vaccine or herd immunity is reached.

    We have the most densely populated country in Europe. I live in the city where the first patient was discovered, we're still only on 382 cases. That's 0.002% of all Dutch people. If this virus was capable of spreading through air we'd be kinda screwed.

    I don't believe it spreads that easily. If it did we'd all be sick already.

    It's still all a storm in a teacup.

    I can't stress enough how badly the Dutch government is handling this situation, in 2 weeks time it's going to look a lot like where Italy is now. Taking drastic measures now is the only thing that could possibly prevent that from happening

  3. Just watched the second ep i feel there is just a lot stuff crammed into one ep or time just flies watching this show that could be it because im feeling old as fuck right now haha, I like my trek to be slow, political, sensible, smart and quite camp at times and this show does some of it but not all the way. I guess they are doing a good job since you want younger people to like the show and you still want to keep the old timers on board. considering that, I get what they are trying to do. Dont hate it in any way shape or form because hell yeah star trek however for me to get the real trek feels I'll still tune in and watch the orville which really has the trek feel to me. 

     

    *edited to say: ha daisy! the swearing was one thing that I for sure could've done without

    Its just weird having something untamed running around the house pissing and shitting anywhere they want. If I go to sleep whats to say it's not gonna run across my face or somthing? No no no no fuck that.

    Its in hand anyway. Yesterday I bought 3 spring traps, 4 bait stations loaded with poison, and nine sticky sheets which I sprinkled a digestive biscuit on and put all over the house. If I catch it alive in the sticky trap and I'm feeling kind I might set it free up the park but I'll probably just chuck it in a bucket of water.

    I'd never kill a little critter like that man, I mean it's just trying to keep itself alive why kill something for that? I'd try and locate where it's coming in fix that shit catch the mouse or whatever and release it somewhere else. Killing this one wont solve anything 'cause if one got in you can be damn sure there will be more to follow. In a way I'd be a weird kind of thankful that it showed me something wrong with my house and that would be my motivation for setting it free :lol:

    No it doesn't. Its jumbling.  the band goes on every night. People just want  to bitch about ANYTHING to make themselves feel better

    The show was not bad. People want to hate it. The band was better then they have ever been

    How about you go back and read D..'s post again because judging by your answer im pretty sure you did not read any of it :)

    What can I say? 

    Faxl is back again.

    Still hits Taco Bell.

    Even had to cut his hair.

    With no sense of shame.

    I have nothing negative to say about the band itself, they all play perfectly and probably are told what setlist to play. Only complaint could be Slash on Chinese solos, but at this point, it doesn't even matter, especially since Slash kills it on everything else.

    My sole problem is Axl. I think it doesn't get to his mind that when he goes on stage, we expect him to take on the Axl's mantle, and become that legendary frontman again.

    He looks & sounds like he doesn't give a single fuck anymore. No new song. No passion. Mediocre vocals. No work on his physical appearance (yes, it does matter, it's part of the show, he is the frontman & singer, not the goddamn backup pianist or something).

    Axl is on autopilot mode, and I can't help but wonder what the fuck he's done in the last 10 months. I surely hope he has been working very, very hard on laying new vocals for the new album. But even that doesn't justify his current shape & vocals.

    I know he's not getting any younger but he's not 70/75 either. He's still in his 50's, he can still pull it off. 

    ....

    This post hits the nail on the fucking head and describes exactly what is going on right now!

    Well written good sir!

  7. I'd consider myself a life long Queen fan even more so than a gnr fan. It's really hard to tell there's definitely hints of the red special buried somewhere in the mix. however the solo doesnt sound like anything i'd expect from Brian May it's just not his style imo. However I could be totally wrong and it could be him trying something out his normal style, maybe something more suitable to the gnr style who knows.

  8. Well guess we are in the same boat, I just turned 34 and grew up with proper scifi as well(star trek/stargate/b5/space above and beyond etc) then the 00's started and it all turned to crap as far as im concerned so im absolutely excited to get some fresh new scifi on tv. The expanse is still the number 1 show for me at the moment(along with the orville being my guilty pleasure haha)but i have high hopes for picard for sure!

    From that trailer, it looks and feels like Star Trek. Discovery and even moreso the Abrams shite felt like Star Wars. 

     

    I agree, however the trailer still feels a bit to flashy for me but hey, can't see Stewart signing on for some jar jar abrhams style stuff so here's to hoping!

    I couldn't get into that last Star Trek, Discovery, where the Klingons resembled the Orcs from Lord of the Rings. It was all over the place in terms of the writing. I just stopped watching in the end. 

    Im a big star trek fan myself and i agree s1 was absolute rubbish, however s2 has been a big improvement. I enjoyed it a lot. Captain pike really needs to get his own show and im sure it will happen somewhere down the line! Would love to see him, spock and number one again on that classic bridge
