The Russian military will evacuate Russian citizens from China due to the coronavirus outbreak, news agencies reported on Saturday.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said the evacuation would take place in regions that had been most affected by the outbreak, Interfax and TASS news agencies reported.

Peskov first said that evacuation will start on Saturday but later corrected himself, saying it will be carried out on Monday and Tuesday.

The Russian defence ministry plans to use five airplanes to evacuate people from China, RIA state news agency reported.Deputy Prime Minister Tatiana Golikova said on Friday that Russia planned to evacuate more than 600 of its citizens now in Wuhan and Hubei province, the epicentre of the outbreak in China, and they will be quarantined for 14 days.

Russia has already reported its first two cases of coronavirus and restricted direct flights to China, its biggest trade partner.

Russian Armed Forces aircraft to evacuate citizens from China makes a little more sense.

There are more people living on the island of Java than live in Russia. And, the Russian population is decreasing by 750 people every day.
(Russia is the biggest country in the world)

As of their last respective censuses, this is not true. The island of Java has 141 million inhabitants, Russia has 145 million.

Evacuate and, I hope, quarantine.

Bring Out Your Dead

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.

So far the false positive rate is 100%.

At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.

*sigh* Such is life, and death...

If a quarantine saves just one child's life, it's worth it.

Yeah...really bad headline...How about: Russia to Evacuate its Citizens From China, or, Russian Military To Assist Evacuation Of Its Citizens From China..

Siberian quarantine site?

Flying in Russian Armed Forces aircraft is statistically more dangerous that acquiring any virulent virus.

“Russia has already reported its first two cases of coronavirus and restricted direct flights to China, its biggest trade partner.”

Kind of poetic that China and Russia are like the usual women and children in the Leftist dogma - hardest hit...
