mh

I actually only saw the end of this one, but there were three things to mention: 1) On this day, there were 853,000 cases globally. In Sweden, there were 4947 cases. Out of those, 512 people had become sick during the last day. There were 393 people in the intensive care. Anders Tegnell, the national… Continue reading Sweden coronavirus press conference, April 1, 2020

Sweden coronavirus press conference, March 31, 2020

mh

On this day, there were 716,000 cases worldwide. There were 4435 cases total in Sweden, and 358 people in intensive care. 180 dead. This time, the press conference started off with politicians. Do you see her? Her name is Isabella Lövin, and she is the vice-Prime Minister. I have taken two selfies with her over… Continue reading Sweden coronavirus press conference, March 31, 2020

Anders Tegnell on the Swedish news on coronavirus

mh

The newscaster at the Swedish TV (SVT) is named Anders Holmberg, and he is asking questions of Anders Tegnell. Don't get confused between them, even though they are both called Anders. Tegnell is the national epidemiologist. Holmberg: Many people have talked about how much less Sweden does compared to other countries when it comes to… Continue reading Anders Tegnell on the Swedish news on coronavirus

Sweden coronavirus press conference, March 25, 2020

mh

Another day, another press conference on coronavirus from Sweden. They had 2510 cases in Sweden at this point, and 42 deaths. There were about 375,000 cases worldwide. The press conference started with the national epidemiologist, Anders Tegnell, who I think was more interested in talking about the USA than anything else. He says: the US… Continue reading Sweden coronavirus press conference, March 25, 2020

Sweden coronavirus press conference, March 30, 2020

On this day, they had 4028 confirmed cases. There were 715,000 cases globally. These pictures come from SVT, I think that stands for Svensk TV (Swedish TV). Disclaimer: My Swedish is not 100%. Here was the lady who was the main anchor, and beside her is one of the sign-language workers. And here was their… Continue reading Sweden coronavirus press conference, March 30, 2020

How to survive your 2-day Amtrak trip

mh

I've been on the two-day California Zephyr between Chicago and San Francisco; the two-night/one-day Sunset Limited between Houston and Los Angeles; and the two-day Southwest Chief between Los Angeles and Chicago. So, in terms of your basic needs (sleep, food, using the bathroom, and, if you like, prayer), how will you survive?? Train lay-out First,… Continue reading How to survive your 2-day Amtrak trip

The train is better than the plane from Houston to LA

mh

To get from Houston to Los Angeles by train, there is no need to ever switch trains or any hassle like that: all you do is take one single train, the Sunset Limited. And I think you should almost definitely take the train, and not fly, because it's a cute train; and it's nice scenery;… Continue reading The train is better than the plane from Houston to LA

My protoplanetary disk in Blender3D

mh

A protoplanetary disk is, in my opinion, a stupid word that means something very sweet ... it just means a solar system in its infancy, when it's still a baby, still developing. But instead of just calling it a "baby solar system" or, to be more regal, an "infant solar system", they had to christen… Continue reading My protoplanetary disk in Blender3D

Scicomm made polished, part 3

mh

I finished a new animated Twitter thread for work. This one is on planet collisions. Woah! You can see it here. It's nine tweets in all. I wrote about getting feedback on  my animated Twitter threads earlier. I was sad because I was told about how bad and unpolished my work was. Well, after all… Continue reading Scicomm made polished, part 3
