What else

The argument that the coronavirus was created artificially is pathological nonsense. One of the most cited scientists in the world, a specialist in the evolution of genomes, Evgeny Kunin, told us. We urge you to show this interview to everyone who believes in such a bike.

We tell why Russian doctors do not have enough protective equipment. The fact is that before the epidemic, it was unprofitable to produce masks in Russia - in China, prices are lower. And when the epidemic began in China and factories closed, demand for masks grew there - and Russian companies sold most of their stocks there. Now doctors in Russia are complaining en masse that they have to work without protection . Some quit .

A covid-denier was charged with extremism. Opera singer Vadim Cheldiev from North Ossetia called on his telegram channel to protest against quarantine. In fact, his call was followed by the residents of Vladikavkaz, who staged a rally on April 20. The investigation regards his posts as calls for the overthrow of the constitutional order .

PS There is not much good news in this mailing list, so please share with us what good things happen to you. After all, despite the quarantine, there is certainly something good.

Here, for example, is what our reader Oleg wrote:

Hello. I am a student and it is quite difficult for me to study without leaving home. But my comrades help me - in this difficult time we have become much more united, we help each other with homework and tests, if suddenly someone has difficulties. Teachers, even older ones, mastered video communication very quickly, and now all classes are held as before, and some have become even more interesting! It is very important to keep in touch with loved ones. My girlfriend Luda and I call each other by video call, discuss the series we watch; enrolled in a course on programming in C ++, we will master it together. Love her!

Good luck and have a good May holidays - albeit in quarantine.
