News that can touch you directly

Our forecasts about the peak of the epidemic in Russia were confirmed . On May 17, Moscow passed a peak - this means that the number of new registered infected ones became below the number of newly recovered and dead. The rest of the regions will be a peak until the end of the week. But it is too early to rejoice and take off the restrictions - otherwise there will be a second wave.

Doctors in Russia die from Covid more often than in all other countries . Mediazona considered that the share of doctors among all deaths from the Covid-19 is almost 7% (for comparison: in the USA-0.48%). The “mediazone” conclusion - either the total number of deaths is significantly underestimated (here is our investigation on this topic), or doctors do not have enough protective equipment.

In St. Petersburg, farewell to the dead was banned - regardless of the causes of death . According to St. Petersburg journalists, there is such a prescription of the chief sanitary doctor of the city of Natalia Bashkova. It was not officially published.

We checked how they tested antibodies in Moscow - and at the same time explain why these tests are needed . With the help of tests, they identify plasma -resistant people and donors of plasma. They are also needed for further scientific research of the virus, and most importantly, based on the results of the test, the authorities will decide whether it is time to return people to work. The beginning of testing was not set: huge lines formed in clinics, and the doctors did not know what to do with them.

In 2020, the number of unemployed Russians will grow to 2.5 million people. This isthe forecast of the Ministry of Labor . Now in Russia 1.6 million unemployed have already been registered.

What else

In Russia, the first criminal case was opened due to non-payment to doctors of covid allowances . According to investigators, ambulance officers of Armavir did not receive money due to the negligence of the leadership of the city hospital .

The Moscow City Hall responded to The New York Times on the mortality from Covid-19 in Russia. The answer was published on the NYT website. The head of the Moscow Department, Alexei Khripun, said that the city authorities are confident in the accuracy of their data. In addition to Nyt, the financial Times wrote about low mortality. The publications of both publications are checking by Roskomnadzor .

The Russians on quarantine began to sacrifice money to charitable foundations . Compared to February, the number of online translators in March increased by 37%, and in April-another 38% .

PS In this mailing list there are not many good news, so tell me that you have good things while quarantine is around. And we will tell your stories so that we all become easier.

This is what the reader Olga wrote to us:

Hello, "Medusa"!

I am a teacher of history and social studies, I live with three children in my own house on the outskirts of Kozelsk on self -isolation. I am teaching now remotely. Usually, the school pulls all its strength so much that it is difficult to engage in some kind of self-development. And then on the distance I had such an opportunity. For two months, I made about 15 copyright presentations in recent history for 9th and 11th grades and laid them on the website of the Infoorok. If you hadn’t been quarantine, it would take years!
