As
@Blues requested, Unghshu is informing: this morning, russian vaccine has been registered. It happened to be the first registered one in the world (at least that's what news said). Putin's daughter (of course!!!
) tried it. Putin said that after the 1st injection, she had fever about 38°C,- the next morning she had 37°C, and then - nothing. After the 2nd injection, she had about 37°C maximum, and then - nothing. She didn't experience any side effects (yet). On one hand - it's not fair that those who have power will get the vaccine first, on the other hand - there are dozens of millions of dozes that need to be manufactured, and they are just afraid that the vaccine will be ineffective and the money spent on it will vanish.
They say, we (ordinary citizens) will get it only in October... But what should we do in September??? When kids go to school and we all go to work???
We all have very controversial feelings about it. Both hopeful and deceived, because the government is late, as usual. Not as late as in some other countries, but still late. My city has the highest mortality rate (it has never been different). I guess it may be due to some particular strain of covid: because it was brought here from Europe, not from China. And by saying Europe, i mean Italy. Everyone knows that Italian strain(s) was/were the deadliest ones. That horrendous death toll in Italy was due to the strain,- not only because the country was not prepared. I'm afraid SPb has that Italian strain, just a little mutated, and that's realy, really bad.
Here is the statistics of daily cases of contamination in Russia since my last post (the last date when i was posting the statistics was Jul.22nd).
As you can see, the total number is decreasing, but i'm telling you: death toll is high, especially in SPb. And IMO, speaking about a success in fighting against covid must be available only when ZERO cases are detected. While there are thousands of new cases daily, there is nothing to brag about. Maybe i'm too opinionated, but when i see that our citizens "spit" on safety measures, and then hundreds a day die in vain, i just get amok. Local goverments are not helping either, because they want to get their money back and they're opening shops, restaurants, theatres, sports arenas, amusement parks, etc. They have also opened resorts (such as Sevastopol', Sochi, Anapa, Gelendjik, Feodosia, Yalta), and it has already lead to new piques of contamination. Abkhazia (which is a separate country) opened the borders for russian tourists and many infected humanoids have already penetrated in there,- i guess they will regret being so generous to russians).
