Blin, 6 new cases of covid have been detected in Russian cities within the last 24 hrs. It looks like it's spreading now with a speed of light. 1 case is in Krasnodar area (at Black sea), 1 - is in Krasnoyarsk city (where Elijah's family live!), and 4 new cases - in Moscow. All those people have recently came back from the countries with bad epidemic situation. The question is: who made them go there?? People are really dumb: i know that, when it all started,- instead of sitting at home, a lot of russians rushed to tour agencies in order to get the "last chance" to go for a trip. And now we get what we get.
Very soon Moscow will become a walking zoo for covid. The largest number of cases are registered there. Because Moscowits are the most wealthy people (compared to other russians), and they travel to exotic (and not so very) countries a lot.
That's why i decided to stop "attending" a restroom at Moscowsky railway station at all, because it's the place where you can meet a lot of Moscowits and people from other contries, like Italy. They still may come here (by train), despite that airway connection is cancelled. Moreover, i don't want to put my stuff into the x-ray control machines that you need to overpass when you're entering the area for long-distance trains. Plus now we have to avoid Moscowits. Who knows, maybe very soon i'll have to stop going home by Martlet train, and start avoiding everything that involves crowds.
...Tbh, it sounds a little depressing: when we get on Martlet train, every single time we have to listen (from a speaker inside the carriage) about covid, its symptoms and its consequences. And when i buy tickets at electronic ticket machines (i pay there with my debit card, - it's very convenient), the first thing that i see on its screen is this ****ing covid, the list of its symptoms and the info about horrible death of it. One has to dab the screen twice until he gets an access to the menu. I'm sure that the IT staff of "Russian railways" had an order - to make people read this stuff and pay attention and blah-blah-blah, and they did a good job having reprogrammed these vending machines this way (within a couple days, there was a red star on the screen - in order to remind people about the "Day of homeland defenders", which was on Feb.23rd). ...But... isn't it a little "too much"??
Today, at work, when there were 2 of us in the classroom (me and Mrs.Sogreyeva),- there came Larisa (our lyceum's konzertmeister, who works with Mrs.Sogreyeva as well). They started talking about covid and quarantine in other countries. I also asked if they know something regarding those Germans who were supposed to come in April. They said they hope that Germans won't come. And then Sogreyeva said that everything that's going on is very "oppressive" (if i understand this word correctly, then that's what she called this situation). She's 70y.o., and she's a strong and intellegent woman with quite healthy mindset. Having heard her saying that made me and Larisa pretty disturbed. Mrs. Sogreyeva had seen a lot of cr@p in her life, but when she was saying it, she looked frightened.
P.S. Unghshu is on Martlet train now, going to my hometown. Got a ticket. Just look at this sh*t :
