Today i downloaded 3 apps (but eventually i chose one of them), that tell SPb news only. NTV news isn't bad, and we all watch NTV channel, but there is too much garbage about Moscow on NTV. We have "78" SPb channel, but i finally decided that i need to know about the situation in SPb more precisely. I opened this app and found a lot of unpleasant news.
One of them was about multiple victims and those affected by covid among medical personnel and important doctors in SPb. For instance, only yesterday, one neurosurgeon died of covid (he was the boss of one of SPb's biggest hospitals).
Then today, it became clear, that 50 staff people of Mariinskaya hospital had been infected. (I know this hospital,- i stayed there once, but only for a week,- it was my first episode of staying in hospital with polyneuropathy).
It was also said that some nurse had died in Gatchina county. I know Gatchina's vast parks quite well,- it's a great place with forests, lakes, rivers, parks and tzars' palaces. It's also a small town. We used to have walks there very often. One day my ex-husband and i impudently came into Prioratsky palace, and saw a lonely bored woman-guide, who was so kind that she let me play the antique white piano, and let us into the tower, so we could see the neughbourhoods from the tower's height. I might say, when you climb the hill and walk upon the hill along the "Black" lake (it's a long hill),- the view is much better than from that tower. Oh well, sorry for some off-topic, but i miss those places, i miss multiple SPb's parks, natural resorts and even historical sites, because i realize that i won't see anything of it very soon.
Also, it was said in that news app, that dozens(!) thousands of clueless russian tourists are still stuck abroad. So, next week, authorities are planning to save (by plane) tourists from Italy, Israel, Armenia, Maldives and Sri Lanka. Plus, some tourists will be taken home from Finland (by buses). This is significant (in a bad way), that all those idiotic tourists that are going to be taken home by plane, are Moscovits!
I know, it's bad, but this fact makes me dislike Moscovits even more. Wtf??? They went to all possible countries when they should have stayed at home, now they demand help, and when they come home, they don't self-isolate,- they go out, socialize and contaminate others, they walk in parks and make picnics and parties, and then we get surprised: "Why is Moscow leading in covid cases???"
Sorry that i can't put my sentence together, but i've been speaking TOO much russian lately (weird, isn't it?),- i feel like it's too much russian for me (and communicating with people literally day and night, because i never do that, uugghhh). Russian (when it's overwhelming) makes my brain chaotic, and i start thinking differently.
Also, i forgot to mention that the Victory parade (on May9th) had been cancelled by Putin (personally, because it had to be his decision to stop all those preparations which cost billions of roubles). Indeed, what's the use of a parade if no one can attend it (and participate)? Every parade requires crowds of artists and military divisions, marching on Red square,- plus all those military machines... Every part of a parade requires people. The only part that could be done, is the avia show (with Sukhoi superjets, like it was the last year). It was entertaining, but it's not worth it.
I'm actually glad that the parade has been cancelled. I hope this money will be used for payments for employees who are having a hard time now, and for medical purposes (vaccine, equipment, other drugs, new ambulances, that are in a big demand now, etc).
P.S.: i have to say, when i have my walks (especially late in evenings), i see a LOT of ambulances, "flying" by with a speed of light. I've never seen so many ambulances in Kolpino before, and neither of them has ever been in a hurry... So this fact is bugging me. I've become quite neurotic about watching these ambulances passing by.
The other terrifying statistics is about patients with COPD: a lot of young patients who died, - had had COPD. It makes me doomed.
