Yep, I have and it didn't surprise me in view of the situation in that country. My neighbours are just went to see their families there while I'm looking after their apartment and garden. They said COVID didn't officially exist there. It's denied as it is in Brazil, Hungary and elsewhere.
BTW, have you heard of the Swiss research student who couldn't finish his doctoral thesis because he'd criticized China and the government on twitter? Three years of hard work all in vain.

I haven't heard of this student. Such a shame all the hard work and studying has come to nothing. I'm all for freedom of speech and I've exercised my rights to it a few times without fear of repercussions. You just gotta know the rules before you exercise your rights, and having a solicitor in the family (older brother) then I've picked up a few things through him 🤗
 
Australia has strong medal chances across a multitude of sports. Their sporting journey from adversity to the world's premier sporting stage are of inspiration and incredible spirit.

Super start by our Para Dolphins. 8 medals.. 4 gold.
- Lakeisha Patterson, Gold: Women's 400 Freestyle S9-
Will Martin, Gold: Men's 400m Freestyle S9
- Rowan Crothers, Gold: Male 50m Freestyle S10
- Ben Popham, Gold: Male 100m Freestyle S8
 
Paige Greco missed the Rio Paras in athletics so changed her sport to track cycling. Wins gold medal in her first ever Games and breaks the world record in the 3000m Pursuit for good measure. Emily Petricola backed this with another gold also in the 3000m Pursuit.
 
Why haven't you two been posting here?

Australia's disabled cyclists continue to show up their able bodied countrymen/women. with one gold and three other medals yesterday. After a strong start in swimming we have dropped off. Still some strong medal chances to come in remaining days in the pool.

Sorry, mate, I haven't seen an awful lot of it yet. Life has been too hectic recently.🤗
 
No Aussie gold today but we carried home a bagful of silver.

Hectic in what way Thomas.

C'mom Jessica show some enthusiasm. Team GB is doing great. Smacking our bums.

My daughter has been in hospital for a week now with severe kidney trouble. Seems to be on the mend now but anxiety remains. That's why I couldn't pay attention to the paralympics so much. Had to look after her including cooking and other things.

Wishing her a speedy recovery mate.
