A major flu outbreak has hit Kremlin and could force Russian President Vladimir Putin into isolation in a bunker, a report in Metro said.
The development comes a day after officials announced that Mr Putin will not hold his annual end-of-year press conference this year. Since Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov gave no reason or the break with tradition, several outlets are claiming that it has been done due to health issues Mr Putin is facing. After Russia launched its offensive against Ukraine in February this year, there has been a renewed focus on Mr Putin's health.
"Yes, this year, flu came to stay. The most unpleasant thing in this situation that it is precisely the flu variant which causes the most serious damage to health. This is the flu A virus (H1N1) of the pandemic year of 2009. In 2009, it emerged for the first time as a type of flu with high spread potential and triggered the 2009-2020 pandemic," she said in an interview with the Rossiya-1 TV channel.

That’s the ticket. Do like the dark ages and when someone is sick, lock them with other sick people in a dark, windowless, closed room and keep it really warm. THAT will do away with those evil humors. I assume they will also be bleeding them daily in order to purge the blood of illness.
The only people who need to worry about the flu are those who voluntarily wrecked their immune systems when they became guinea pigs in the failed mRNA experiment.
According to the article it is a serious form of the flu that caused pandemic in 2009. Does Ukraine give its soldiers flu shots? Do we give Ukraine flu vaccine. Does Russia give updated flu vaccine to its soldiers and people? This year I went and got my flu shot, but they did not have J&J and even if they had I probably would not have used it this year. My partner got the flu and Covid shot (Moderna). Neither of us had any particular effects from our shots. For a few days I added Quercetin and zinc to my other vitamins and those I give my partner. On the other hand he has had several episodes of tachycardia, more frequent than before his vaccines—long “Covid” effect?
Meanwhile I urge all to take from 5000 to 10,000 IU of Vitamin D3 this winter season, depending on your size and how north you live. Get your blood tested for blood vitamin D level and consult with your doctor.
There was a report yesterday that mobniks in training are all getting sick with the flu and have to buy their own medicines for which they do not have the money.
We are so screwed.

If you put the phrase “and associates” behind any noun, you make it sound like a law firm.

Well for an 80-year old severely brain-damaged senile dementia puppet, Joe's fairly healthy.
If we can trust the reports, Putin's health seems to be pretty bad.
