Pulse

In Russia , 150 people died per day. This is a record indicator. In total, 3249 people died since the beginning of the pandemic. 8894 people fell ill for a day. In total, the country has 326,448 infected. 7144 patients recovered, in total - 99 825.

Vladimir Putin warned of the possibility of a second wave of coronavirus in October-November . Deputy Prime Minister Tatyana Golikova said that in May, mortality would be seriously growing. Moscow mayor Sergei Sobyanin believes that the city managed to avoid the worst script, but self -isolation and access control must be preserved .

From May 23 , the capacity will be canceled in the suburbs. Several inhabitants of the region who violated the insulation regime and organized mass events were directed to mandatory work in hospitals . More than a third of Russian doctors working with covid patients admitted that they were given instructions to make another diagnosis . Employees of the Research Institute of the Ministry of Health, who are developing a vaccine from coronavirus, tested it on themselves .

Actual data on coronavirus in Russia in the form ofa map and table .

Tax revenues in Germany in April 2020 were 25.3% less than a year ago . In South Korea, where Pandemia managed to quickly cope with, 20 new Covid-19 cases were revealed. The previous flash was two weeks ago - then in Seoul all bars and clubs closed . Serbia authorities expect an Exit music festival in August . Donald Trump nevertheless put on a protective mask during a visit to the Ford factory in Michigan - he refused to do this for a long time.

We show what the pandemic looks like in Africa . People do not have enough food, disinfection and Ivl devices.

News that can touch you directly

We explain whether it is necessary to take a test for antibodies and what means their presence . A short answer: if you want to be checked out of curiosity, then the result of the test will not affect anything, and there may be more minuses than pluses . If you take the test for free in the clinic, that is, the risk of getting infected. If at home, then you have to pay - and the risk of infection will not disappear completely. The very presence of antibodies in the blood does not yet guarantee immunity. If you still really want to take a test and you live in Moscow, then this can be done for free . In Russia , at least 40 thousand people passed tests, antibodies found in 14% of them.

Most likely, Russia is waiting for a series of quarantines, a wave of bankruptcy and a reduction in GDP by 7-10%. This is the forecast of the BCG consulting company . There are three more options for the development of events. The worst is a long recession.

Children were allowed to relax in summer camps without masks . But the camps will open only in regions where coronavirus will not spread. It will not be possible to travel to camps in other regions.

How we will fly when the quarantine ends. The Federal Air Transport Agency told how toremove restrictions from airports and airlines in three stages. At the first stage, passengers will have to wear masks and gloves (and change them once every three hours), movements in the cabin will be limited. But passengers will not plant from each other. Chess seedling - not for aircraft, but for theaters .

What else

We tell the story of a doctor from Reutov, who opposed the leadership of his hospital to save colleagues and patients. In the hospital, where the transfusiologist Irina Vaskyanina works, 51 employees fell ill. They did not have enough protection funds, and the head physician Garik Khachatryan denied this and prevented the doctors from getting help from the "Alliance of Doctors". After the release of our text, State Duma deputy Valery Rashkin asked the SK to check the actions of Khachatryan and city officials

Because of the pandemic, animals in shelters began to live worse. They stopped letting volunteers, the amounts of donations were reduced, and because of this, there was not enough food. Some people even began to take their pets into shelters or euthanize them because of fear of infecting Covid. Meduzacare - about what is happening and how to help .

Coronavirus hit Latin America especially hard . Brazil is already the third in the number of infected in the world (and probably will soon overtake Russia). Medicine in Latin American is poorly funded : on average, the country's country spend three times less on it than Italy. There are not enough sick leave and Ivl. Economic problems were added to this. Brazil is threatened by the most difficult economic crisis in history, and Argentina is default.

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 Artem wrote to us:

I am writing to you from Sunny Istanbul. For more than a month, as my Julia and I, three -year -old Alice and Nina, stuck in Turkey. Julia has disability and there is no one lung. Every day we come up with entertainment for Alice: we decorate the balconies with flowers, do fitness, cook on camera, jump on a trampoline and even the whole family took vocals and English in the zoom. And the other day we decided to create an Alice video blog on @aliceVmax Instagram and shot the first video with pizza. In general, it seems, if not for quarantine, we would not have become so friendly and united! 😘

Health to everyone!
