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.
Metro said Russian officials are keeping the President away from people in the wake of the spread of this infectious disease. It added that Mr Putin is expected to abandon his address to the Upper House of Russian Parliament as many officials are affected by flu.

Hmm. Bit oblique that.
As I pointed out in my comment #24, taking 5000 to 10,000 IU Vitamin D is probably safe for a while, especially in winter in more northern areas. It is still a good idea to get the blood Vitamin D test done. Then you can calibrate your desirable supplement level. Our dear government health source says 20 ngm/mL is good, but a major endochronologists’ association considers that as INSUffICIeNT, and recommends 30 ngm/mL or higher as OPTIMUM. My own health agency, Kaiser Permanente, suggests 50 to 80 ngm/mL as OPtIMUM. The old low levels are aimed at bone health. The new higher levels target immune system health, which is what we need with Covid and flu roaming society this winter.
The doctor for my 6’1”, 240 lb. son recently increased his Vitamin D3 level from 5000 to 10,000 IU of D, daily. On the other hand, I, at 145 lbs, 5’3” began taking 2000 IU of D summer of 2020, increased to 5000 IU that winter and have moved the dose up and down depending on season and sun exposure here in the mid-Atlantic area. KP tested me last December at 66 ngm/mL. I will ask them to test me again this December.
I discovered 50 years ago I needed Calcium and Magnesium for muscle cramps (lost 1 day a month from work with cramps), and back ache. Still take that at age 84, plus boron and Vitamin K both K1 and K2. I hope I am taking the right amounts of Vitamins K. Will ask doctor this Dec., but he probably won’t know either. Good luck all, with our totally drug oriented medical system thanks to Fauci and others. At least supplement and diet info can still be found on line.
See my comment #62 where I describe my son’s dose, and mine at different sizes and weights. We live near the Mason/Dixon line. What measure was your doctor or health organization using? Depending on your size you might try taking 5000 or 10,000 IU on Fri. and Sat. and get tested again in a few months. Also how long have you been taking 50,000 weekly and what were your before and current ngm/mL readings or if you were not tested in the US, your nmol/L readings?
Please understand the current US medical education of practicing doctors included very little nutrition education. I hope maybe the education is changing, but given Fauci’s drug orientation and his long control of $6 billion in medical research funds, I am not optimistic. We will have to continue taking responsibility for researching our own health issues. Thank God for the internet.
Yep, Larry Johnson is best known for his lies:
1-He is best known for spreading a hoax in 2008 that Republican operatives had a videotape of Michelle Obama complaining about “whitey”.
2-In March 2017, Andrew Napolitano spread the unfounded conspiracy theory that GCHQ, one of Britain’s top intelligence agencies, had wiretapped Donald Trump during the 2016 presidential campaign on orders from President Obama. LARRYJOHNSON was the source for Napolitano’s claim.
3. In 2013, JOHNSON FALSELY ACCUSED John Kerry of war crimes in Vietnam, alleging that Kerry had “raped some poor Vietnamese woman.” To support his claim, JOHNSON used a YouTube video that contained audio clips from a 1971 debate on The Dick Cavett Show between John Kerry and John O’Neill.
The original interview audio was ALTERED to piece together words that Kerry spoke at different times during the debate, falsely making it sound as if he said, “I personally raped for pleasure.” When the falsehood was exposed by a reader of Johnson’s blog, JOHNSON DELETED the article without apology.
*In the late 1990s-early 2000s, Johnson DE-EMPHASIZED the threat stemming from terrorism.
Thanks!
