Data on the world: map and table .
We asked the ambulances for why the car could come to the call in a few hours - or even days . It is not only a lack of people and means of protection . Doctors complain that they have a lot of paper work and that they have to “escort” the quarantine violators whom the police catches. The “Doctors Alliance” launched an online card with data on doctors during the pandemic.
The authorities of Dagestan admitted that the regional statistics of mortality from Covid are underestimated. After our report, about this . The Minister of Health of the Republic said. We talked with a blogger and journalist Ruslan Kurbanov , who interviewed the minister.

From June 1, tourism in Russia will begin to leave quarantine. The first to open sanatoriums with a medical license, cottages and apart hotels .
In the next two years, internal migration will accelerate in Russia. All because of the pandemic and the collapse of oil prices . This is the forecast of the Moody= rating agency .

Most people can leave the Nizhny Novgorod, Omsk and Samara regions.

Russian diplomats complained about Bloomberg's material about the number of hospital beds in Russia. Bloomberg made edits. The agency claimed that in Russia there are 3.8 hospital beds per thousand people, and 8.2 in the countries of the organization of economic cooperation and development. In fact, everything was the other way around .
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 Arina wrote to us:
While some get used to the increased personal space and do not imagine life after the abolition of quarantine, extroverts climb onto the wall and consider minutes before freedom. My brother has a round birthday tomorrow (already today), and it will turn out to gather the same round number of guests in a month, so my sister and I prepare a comforting pumpkin pie and referers for the Harry Potter world, ordered a suitable tasty wine and other consolations-the holiday should remain a holiday at any time, so we will arrange a online weapon with the connection of quarantine friends, we will watch stupid comedies and stupid comedies and stupid comedies and stupid comedies and stupid comedies have fun. All those who yearned for communication - patience, will go with friends into the world so beautiful when it all ends :)
The pie, by the way, as Arina specified, was a success. Here is evidence:
