In Russia, the third day in a row is more than eight thousand new cases of Covid-19. And there are more of them. Today 8481 people fell ill (yesterday 8232). In total, 1,176,286 cases of Covid have been revealed in the country from the beginning of the pandemic in the country. 5858 patients were discharged from hospitals per day. For all the time, 958 257 people recovered. 177 people died per day (this, by the way, is a maximum of July 17), in total - 20,722 people.

The head of the Perm Territory Dmitry Makhonin was discharged from the hospital . Kovid was discovered on September 17. In Moscow, the recommendations for self -isolation for the elderly and remote work will be valid until October 28 . The Moscow cinema was recommended to check the masks on the audience every 10 minutes . In St. Petersburg, a mask regime is tightened: from tomorrow, passengers without masks will not be allowed into transport . In the Pskov and Tomsk regions, quarantine was extended until November 1. In the Murmansk region, restrictions were extended to a special order .
Data on Russia in the form ofa card and tables . We update them every day.
In Israel, protests of more than 20 people were banned during the quarantine. Also, demonstrators cannot be moved away from the house further than a kilometer. The World Bank will allocate $ 12 billion to the poorest countries in the world so that they can purchase a vaccine. In the Czech Republic, a state of emergency is announced from Monday, in Slovakia - from Thursday . Today, the country revealed a record 567 cases of Covid . In Thailand, the emergency mode was extended for the sixth time from March 26, now until October 31.

In Ukraine, there is also a record for infected for a day: 4027 people . Former President Petro Poroshenko fell ill. The Verkhovna Rada canceled meetings on this and next week.

Data on the world: map and table .
How some countries were able to avoid the second wave - and why Russia could not do this . About this in the output of the podcast “What happened” says the scientific editor of Medusa Alexander Ershov. One of the countries that did everything correctly and avoided even the first wave is quite unexpectedly Vietnam. And this despite the close connection with China (from where the pandemic began), high population density and poverty. The secret of success in mass testing and how carefully doctors tracked the contacts of the infected.
Students of medical universities are called again in the fight against pandemia . In particular, the announcement on behalf of the Department of Health of Moscow was published in the information system of Sechenov University. Students also receive calls from depots with a proposal to work. The regions have not yet begun to centrally attract medical students. We wrote about how students were already calling for work in the spring. Then they complained that in case of refusal they were threatened with problems with their studies .
Masks in the Moscow metro now cost five rubles - in the spring the prices were six times higher . From late August to recently, the masks were sold 10 rubles each. At the very beginning of the pandemic, when the masks cost 30 rubles, the city hall was accused of a margin of hundreds or thousands of percent. The city hall replied that the purchase price of the mask excluding logistics at that time was 21–23 rubles.
In Russia, the second vaccine was patented . This is Epivaccoron from the Novosibirsk Scientific Center for virology and biotechnology "Vector" . In total, three patents for inventions were issued, each of which contains a certain modified fragment of the virus.
Disney will reduce 28 thousand employees due to pandemia . Mostly employees of thematic parks, cruise liners and retail enterprises in the United States will be fired. The parks were closed by one of the first in the pandemic, and now they work with strong restrictions on the number of visitors. Bloomberg calls these dismissals one of the most significant abbreviations of labor in the pandemic era.
Donald Trump and Joe Biden held the first debate - of course, without coronavirus, it was not . Biden said that Trump had no plan of action. And it is he who is to blame for the fact that the United States is the leader in the number of sick and the dead. Trump replied that if the president were Biden, not two hundred thousand, but two million Americans would have died from the disease. Both candidates also did not shook hands. Formally, because of the pandemic, but it seems that not only: on the debate they basically cursed, insulted and interrupted each other .
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 Ksenia wrote to us:
I started a dog) The dream of a whole life came true. If it weren’t for the remote because of the virus, probably, they would not have decided for a long time. He had already gobbled up chairs and walls, but we are still happy.

🤍🖤 Very happy for Ksenia and Sherlock!
