The mask is on himself
We will not cope with what is happening, without good journalism
When you open a news feed or tape of any social network, it seems that the world is flying to Tartarar.
This is true.
There is no other agenda, except for terrible statistics, even more sick and dead, many new, previously even unimaginable difficulties.
Even if you forget about the most viral pneumonia: how to write out a pass to the exit of the house if the site is "lying"? What to do if you help elderly relatives make ends meet, and now you can’t even see them? What will happen to bed patients now, with people with mental disorders, with those who were supposed to go to the planned operation, and now “hung” without it? How will large families receive help, and orphans will support the support of a loving mentor?
All that we have been corrected for years with human warmth, care and participation froze. An extended help hand is an enemy. Each new question, how to be now, gives rise to the web of the following, even more complex issues. If there are people who are ready to print the necessary means of protection for doctors on a 3D printer , how to transfer them to the hospital? Officially, this is impossible. If people from the stump for a time of quarantine - for the first time in all these years - can be taken home , who can properly take care of them, because all doctors and social workers are overloaded? If everyone needs to remain in isolation of the house, what to do homeless, which on the street cannot be safe from unwanted contacts. Shelters? There everyone lives together.
Nevertheless, the pandemic has changed a lot, but not only for the worse. More than ever, people are looking for ways of cooperation and mutual support, come up with new solutions to old problems. And such a huge number of questions requires intelligible and clear answers. So, a request for high-quality journalism, for verified information, for truly authoritative opinions, and not the “young doctor of Yura from Ujan,” is growing again . They say that the crisis exposes the true one and sweeps out of an alloy. It turned out that in the polyphony of blogs and personal pages it is the media - that island of confidence, common sense and hope for objectivity, which has not yet gone under water.
This journalism does not have to look like an old press. Any brand or name that you trust may be media-it was customary to reason about this before, but does something confirm this more than the Covid-2019 tab on the sites of online stores and in the phone applications? When all the landmarks are lost, there should be someone who will help to return them. In the end, it is already clear that it is not in the direct lines of the official authorities to look for these answers.
Each media tries to illuminate the pandemic for its part as fully as possible. Analytics, virology, medicine, politics and economics. But still, most of the channels unite the focus on how everything has gone far, in what difficult and difficult position we ended up and that in this regard, we are waiting for us.
“Such things” are distinguished by the fact that all five years of our work we went hand in hand with charitable funds and social organizations.
Now it is public initiatives that can be the rescue circle that will help all of us to swim out of this terrible stormWe cover the work of funds and volunteers as soon as we can, at the limit of our capabilities and resources. We say that now everyone is really difficult for everyone, but there are such organizations that may not defeat this attack, then at least remove some of its social symptoms. We shout that the funds ourselves have to be very difficult, and we ask them to support them, we explain measuredly and in detail what people in different regions of our country are already doing to cope with the consequences of pandemia. What can you do personally to protect yourself and help others.
Of course, “such things” are not the only ones who write about it. But we do not cease to remind you of those who are vulnerable to more than others even in “peaceful” time - people with disabilities, homeless, migrants, prisoners.
It is normal that now everyone first of all thinks about how not to stumble on how to protect loved ones. But in the days of the worst cataclysms, it is even more important to remain humane and not forget about those who are weaker. Someone must remember and talk about it.
Lighting around us will end. And everything will return-maybe, differently, but will return. And people who usually do not notice will also not go anywhere. Even if then, God forbid, not one such epidemic will happen.
And the media, straightening the wings into the storm, will also remain. Only for this the typhoon needs to be experienced.
And he can’t see the end. But I want to say: whether you stay at home, left out of town or every day, risking, traveling on business, in any case we will work to the last, no matter what it costs us. And we will try as soon as we can.
Please support "such things." Buy a mask with our logo or protective screens for your protection - this is convenient and complies with WHO standards. Put on yourself on yourself, then it can be put on those who so need our support so much. Buy our Merch - they will bring it to your door, and you will not have to go anywhere. When it becomes very warm, you can go out under the May Sun in a new T -shirt. Order our books - everyone has more time to read. Or just transfer to us the smallest amount convenient for you. Fifty, one hundred rubles. A couple of trips by bus, which still now have nowhere to go.
Once we all live in a new world. And good journalism is needed there.
