We looked at how Russian regions are preparing for the epidemic, where there are especially many elderly people. These are the Tula, Tver, Tambov and Ryazan regions. According to demographer Ilya Kashnitsky, if at least 40% of the population becomes infected in these regions, thousands of people will need ventilators. None of the regions have so many , the maximum is 297, and they can buy no more than a few dozen.

Vladimir Putin publicly asked virologists if it was possible to reduce the number of non-working days. The statement was taken as a hint that not the whole of April will be non-working , but only part of it. But all this is just guesswork.

Russians stuck abroad still cannot return home. Those who ended up in the United States after the borders were closed were offered to stay with their compatriots , because Russia no longer wants to pay for a hotel. In Nepal, hundreds of Russians descended from the mountains and learned that they could not return home . The situation is complicated by the fact that there is no direct communication between Nepal and Russia.

In Germany, residents began to receive five thousand euros from the state to make it easier to live until the end of the pandemic. Moreover, money is given out so easily that everyone is surprised and wary of payments.

So far, however, no one has noticed any catch - even those who received more than five thousand.

Here is what a reader Olya wrote to us:

Information about self-isolation was perceived by me with hostility. BUT! I remembered that only recently I complained to my husband that there was not enough time to read books / watch movies. And now I do it all without restriction!))

I passed the game The Wolf Among Us, read the book “Viva la vagina” (I recommend it for all girls and women), and how many films I have already reviewed!) And I’m not going to stop there, there is a huge supply of books, films and games ahead. I wish everyone to cope with this situation and find at least a drop of good everywhere)

We wish everyone the same!
