Pulse

Russia recorded 5849 new cases of coronavirus . This is 1075 more than the day before, and with the same number of tests (approximately 150 thousand). In total, at least 68,622 people have fallen ill since the beginning of the epidemic. 615 people died (60 per day). Since the last report, 677 people have recovered, including the only case found in the Nenets Autonomous Okrug.

Here is a map with data for Russia and a table with the latest data by region.

In Belarus, almost all the nuns of the St. Elisabeth Convent in Minsk became infected with the coronavirus. This monastery has not canceled the Easter service; dozens of believers came there. Sweden has reported the largest number of cases per day . The Czech Republic was the first in Europe to open its borders for travel .

News that may affect you directly

In Moscow, controllers and police began to look for those who approached each other closer than one and a half meters in transport. Violators are promised a fine of five thousand rubles . Previously, in Moscow, those who “gathered in groups or were on the street without a specific reason” were fined.

Interest rates on loans should come down. today The Central Bank lowered the key rate .

We have published instructions for pregnant women (and their relatives). How to behave now so that everything goes well. In fact, nothing special : the main thing is to communicate less with strangers, so as not to once again be in danger of getting infected.

Until the end of April, we are waiting for a new appeal from Vladimir Putin. He must announce whether the Russians will continue to stay at home or not .

What else

Scientists have conducted the most accurate study to date on mortality from coronavirus. It turned out that if the virus infects all the “susceptible” people available to it, that is, 70% of the population or more, each country could lose 1% of its citizens .

In the United States, where the most cases of coronavirus have been recorded, the pandemic has become part of politics . Covid-deniers take to the streets, Trump advertises dubious remedies for the coronavirus, the huge Fox News channel is promoting that the virus is not so dangerous. The states, meanwhile, are uniting with each other against the government , which is preparing to lift the quarantine.

An outbreak in Harbin, China. We spoke with Sofia Kostikova, a Russian woman who lives there.

We recently had the 90th day of life in such a strange mode. Sometimes it was and is hard. There is no fear of infection and getting sick. We are afraid that we can cause the disease of someone at risk - causing the death of someone's grandmother is much worse than getting sick herself. Therefore, you need to stay at home. That is why, at the beginning of the epidemic, we decided to stay at home and not even try to evacuate to Russia. Although relatives, of course, said that they should come home. But it's strange to live here at a good time and run away at a bad time. Somehow this is not humane in relation to the country.

PS There isn't a lot of good news in this mailing list, so let us know what's going on with you while the coronavirus is around. And we will publish one story in each letter.

Here is what a reader Anastasia wrote to us:

While the coronavirus is around, I am in self-isolation in St. Petersburg. I am in excellent company with corgi Leonid and two guinea pigs - clairvoyant gentlemen Zbigniew Zapasinsky and Jerzy Kaczmarek. At the end of the first week of self-isolation, I decided that it was time for Leonid to learn to howl like he was a husky, and I put videos on YouTube for him - nothing came of it. I haven't gotten to the bottom of guinea pigs yet with fucking ideas, but I guess it's just a matter of time. I hope not to find myself in a week, two or three training clairvoyant gentlemen.

Greetings to Leonid and both gentlemen! By the way, over the weekend, the stories you sent us will be published on the website. Thank you very much for sharing.

We cover the situation with the coronavirus pandemic as fully as possible - and use only verified sources of information. In our mailing list, unlike WhatsApp messages, there will never be pseudo-scientific nonsense. Forward this letter to your friends and ask them to sign if you think it is important for them to receive only reliable information.

Thank you for your trust, your "Medusa"
