2 Russians flee virus quarantine, in dismay at hospitals

MOSCOW -- One patient jumped out of a hospital window to escape her quarantine and another managed to break out by disabling an electronic lock.

Two Russian women who were kept in isolation for possible inflection by a new virus say they fled from their Russian hospitals this month because of uncooperative doctors, poor conditions and fear they would become infected. Russian health authorities haven’t commented on their complaints.

Many of those quarantined in different Russian hospitals complained about dire conditions of isolation rooms and lack of cooperation from doctors, uncertain about quarantine protocols.

Both women said their hospital ordeals began after returning from Hainan, a tropical region of China popular with Russian tourists.

Quarantine protocols in relation to the outbreak vary throughout Russia. In some regions, health officials isolate Chinese nationals who have recently returned from China, and in others everyone who reports symptoms resembling those of the new virus are subject to a 14-day quarantine.

Rospotrebnadzor, Russia’s public health watchdog, hasn’t responded to a request for comment on whether the women were allowed to leave the hospitals.

These commie countries all have a lot in common. Poor facilities to take care of their people with state funded health care.

Something all Americans should consider when going to the polls this year. Vote for America or for its demise.

Remember that these types of hospitals are in a country that Bolshevik Berni idolizes.

My curse to him is that he and his Democrat cohorts be sentenced to forever receive health courage in places like Russia.

Ok, maybe the one who defenestrated was a Russian, but the one who picked the electronic lock was a Hungarian.

Reminds me of Fat Michael Moore, lauding the greatness of the Cuban medical system before going to a US hospital for treatment.

Well, at least with Commie Care, the care you don't get is free.

It's starting to look like I should got to a different Monty Python graphic. Perhaps the run away run away one?

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.
