Moscow (CNN)Millions of Russians face strict new Covid-19 restrictions from this week after a slow vaccination drive, an overwhelmed health care system and widespread mistrust in government combined to plunge the country into its most deadly phase of the pandemic to date.
On Tuesday Moscow's mayor ordered all unvaccinated residents over 60, as well as unvaccinated people "suffering from chronic diseases," to remain home for four months until late February as the city grapples with a growing crisis. President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday approved a proposal put forward by the government to declare non-working days from October 30 to November 7 across Russia in an effort to curb the latest wave of the pandemic. Senior figures in the country have also started openly admitting that the situation is dire ...

They fell for the “two weeks to stop the spread” too, huh?
I wonder what the role weather has in this. I am guessing most of Russia is starting to get cold right now. Colder weather is forcing more people doors with more re-circulated air due to the heating being on.

Jeez… no exceptions for folks who have achieved natural immunity. The Moscow mayor is as dumb (or as evil) as our DemocRAT governors!
If ol’ Vlad served Polonium Soup to Dr. Fauci, I wouldn’t shed a tear.
Our pandemic priests must be salivating at this idea about how to punish the vax heathen.
” to remain home for four months until late February”
Stay at home in Moscow? From November to February? Noooo problemo....it cold out there!
instead of meals on wheels they’ll get housecalls on skis?
Russia has had almost 2 years to prepare for covid patients.
People there should be up in arms.
Oh and.....what ‘Covid crisis”?
>> to stay home for 4 months
Not long enough for another round of classical compositions...
Don’t give Joe any ideas
It’s just the flu.
Who knows if any of this is even true? After all, the source is CNN.
1,000 deaths a day right now in Russia. TASS is blaming people delaying medical treatment and coming in sicker. Probably more a case of an influx of patients and not enough of everything.
I have a friend from Russia, whose father and brother died from covid in Russia. The ambulances in Russia come to patients’ homes and treat them there. In both cases, the doctors and nurses in the ambulances told the patients to stay away from the hospitals. That people are catching covid in the hospitals and dying. Both patients had non-covid related illness, but eventually had to go to the hospital where they both caught covid and died.
They’re doing it right. Notice how its not everybody. Its only those who are at the most risk from Covid. Everybody else needs to carry on working, going to school, etc.
This is what a sane policy for every country would have looked like.
Will the gov’t deliver food, medicines, free cable TV, rent etc. during the stay-home order? What’s not to like? /s
They are also shutting down the whole country from Oct 30 to Nov 7.
