Chess dot com. It says all in the title. Money come first. Even from public health.

The Latvian government? Leonard Barden has written (in his weekly Guardian piece): "Immediately after the lockdown was announced on Tuesday, Fide launched urgent talks to gain exemption on the grounds that the Grand Swiss is a major sporting event. Fide’s managing director, Dana Reizniece-Ozola, was formerly Latvia’s finance minister". Also, other international sports events will take place in Latvia.
As at yesterday (22 October), it appears Latvia had the largest daily new infection rate in the world at just short of 1300 cases per million people. Source: https://ourworldindata.org/covid-cases.
Criminals want the Kovid virus to last as long as possible to earn money, vaccines do little to help, and what's worse, there is no end to this, they just lie to us, 2 years have passed and they haven't done anything
Absolute shambles from fide, I pray for latvians to overcome this wave. This is the second time fides fucked it up with covid.
