The American edition considered coronavirus a challenge to Putin's system

107

An article has appeared in the American edition of Vox, which analyzes the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Russian politics and economy and compares the prospects of our country with the crisis in the United States itself. But is the pandemic really so dangerous for the Russian socio-economic and political system?

American publicist Alex Ward believes that if a wave of the coronavirus pandemic covers Russia, it will be a disaster for the “Russian dictator,” as he calls President Putin. The disease and, especially, the death of thousands of Russians will be a serious blow to the political image of the head of the Russian state. At the same time, the American author notes that the situation is very unfavorable for Putin: the pandemic coincided with a collapse in prices on the world oil market.



Self-isolation measures, according to Ward, are tough, but not effective enough. In the spirit that is usual for the confrontation between powers, the American author distorts the truth: he writes that for violating the regime of self-isolation you can pay with imprisonment for up to 7 years, "forgetting" to note that such a punishment can be assigned only to those who have become infected as a result of quarantine violation and several people died.

However, the American author notes that Russia is better prepared for the epidemic than many countries of the world and recognizes the "good" Russian health system. However, Ward believes that Putin and the government focused on Moscow, where the truth is the largest, according to official figures, the number of cases, but almost not involved in the regions.

For all that, there is a certain truth in the words of the American. Unlike Moscow, the situation of many residents of the regions in conditions of monthly self-isolation can not only worsen, but become catastrophic. Salaries in the regions are much lower than in Moscow, the ability to change jobs is less by definition, no decisions on additional payments have been made.

Repeating tough measures for ensuring self-isolation of citizens after Sergei Sobyanin, the governors are not able to provide even the small social support organized by the Moscow mayor.

High fines, a lack of livelihoods, downsizing at enterprises, and the ruin of small businesses can be the real reason for the growth of social discontent, which catalyzes processes that are much more dangerous than the coronavirus pandemic, and it is politically dangerous.

What to live, for example, on a large stratum of unformed hired workers, of whom there are at least 20 million people in Russia? And do not think that these unformed workers are malicious tax evaders who are not specially formalized in order not to pay 13% of personal income tax. They simply do not draw up employers who are not profitable to pay both salaries and contributions to funds.

Therefore, the Russian government now really turned out to be between the “hammer and a hard place" of the coronavirus and social disturbance.

Since the country's population has shown political passivity in recent years and even decades, the authorities still believe that they can curb social discontent with police measures. But if relief is not made in the isolation mode, then the degree of dissatisfaction can be very high.

In any case, Russia, its economy and the social sphere will really require resuscitation measures. Already, it would not hurt the government and the president to start practicing real, not declared, social support for the population. As an option - to provide all citizens in need with social benefits in the amount of the minimum wage per person for the duration of the self-isolation regime, introduce subsistence benefits for unemployment in the first six months after the termination of the self-isolation regime, and provide real credit vacations.

Of course, this will require a redistribution of financial flows of the state, but if this is not done, then the consequences can be most dire. The solution of the problems that had arisen, together with the victory over the epidemic, would have allowed the Russian authorities and personally Vladimir Putin to repeatedly raise their authority both nationally and globally. But for this we must not be afraid to take responsibility.

        Wait, it’s not yet time to beat the timpani, and wear laurel wreaths. Now the incidence will take the harker of a real epidemic, and the fun will begin. And then it will become clear how many ventilation devices are actually in Russia, how many of them are workers, and where is the best medicine. In Russia or the USA.

          Who is treating? Self-medication? As well as self-isolation? Or were they prescribed and left? Or did they hand out the medicine and explain how to drink it, and leave? Can you buy them in pharmacies?

            It's very simple. You get sick and call a doctor at home. You are prescribed treatment (usually paracetamol to lower the temperature). If you suspect a virus, they take a smear and give it to the laboratory. When confirmed (pah, pah, pah), you are treated at home as with SARS: If you have an infection, you are listed and monitored daily. If the disease is mild, take another smear on day 10 and if everything is normal, fly with a white swan with immunity. If you feel unwell, call an ambulance and be hospitalized. us so everything happens ie, for other regions and cities can not say. hi

                So that "Vasya from Uralmash" is not given 7 years, the photo says that it is better to stay at home.

          Hope, as usual, will die last (source Gazeta.ru from 06.04.2020/XNUMX/XNUMX):
          20 returned to the PRC from Russiaand the Chinese revealed a new type of coronavirus, authorities in the northern province of Heilongjiang said. All patients arrived in late March - early April. As a result, the number of people infected in the region doubled - 42 carriers of coronavirus are treated there. They arrived from Moscow to Vladivostok by plane, after which they crossed the land border with China by bus and private cars. The sick people - citizens of the PRC aged 23 to 61 years - were sent to specialized infectious diseases hospitals. They became infected in Russia.

          Hence the question. Where are the prevention measures? They should have been somehow identified during the flight from Moscow, even at the airport? Or no? And how many people have they already "gifted" during their stay in the Russian Federation? And where did you get infected yourself? Editions here write what exactly in the Russian Federation.

          Well, also on this topic (source https://www.rosbalt.ru/posts/2020/04/06/1836730.html):
          USA. Tests made - 1 662 081, detected infected - 312 207. Or 5,3 tests for one infected.

          Spain. Tests were made - 355 091, infected were found - 130 759. Or 2,7 tests per infected.

          Italy. Tests were made - 657 224, infected were detected - 124 632 or 5,2 tests per infected.

          Germany. Tests were made - 918 460, infected were detected - 97 074. Or 9,4 tests per infected.

          France. Tests were made - 224 254, 97 074 were found infected. Or 2,3 tests per infected.

          Iran. 3,1 tests per infected person.

          United Kingdom. 4,06 tests per infected.

          Turkey. 6,7 tests for one infected.

          Switzerland. 7,4 tests per infected person.

          Belgium. 3,5 tests per infected person.

          Netherlands. 4,2 tests per infected person.

          Sweden. 5,4 tests per infected person.

          Russia. Tests were made - 697, infected were detected - 000. Or 5389 tests per infected.

          Or the sight went astray. Or such tests here. I have no other explanation for why it is like that.


          And yet (source RBC from 06.04.2020/XNUMX/XNUMX):
          wholesale trade in medical masks and other items on the list (with the exception of those that were issued before the entry into force of the government decree) is allowed only JSC "Corporation" Roskhimzashchita "(controlled by Rostec), appointed by the federal coordinating operator, and regional operators....
          «The original price for the products will be set by the manufacturer. Currently, Rostec enterprises, including Roskhimzashchita, produce a number of products from the list specified in the resolution - these are protective suits, masks, and respirators.
          But the market is huge, one manufacturer can’t master it. Therefore, there is no question of any monopolization of the market, there is enough space for everyone ”


          I do not understand why all manufacturers should be transferred for implementation through only one company. If Rostec (in the form of its enterprise) is able to produce a lot, then well, let it saturate the market and thereby reduce the price. And if not capable, then it resembles the Plato system, only already in medicine. Chemezov, not worse than the Rotenbergs?


          PS
          Our medicine retained part of Soviet centralization and, if necessary, probably too can somehow mobilize

          Source Gazeta.ru from 06.04.2020/XNUMX/XNUMX:
          The cost of the analysis for the detection of coronavirus infection at home will be 1250 rubles, additional medical staff will be paid. This was reported by RIA Novosti with reference to the head of laboratory medicine at the Center for Molecular Diagnostics of the Central Research Institute of Epidemiology of Rospotrebnadzor Elena Tivanova.

              I don’t care whether you will do the test or not at all, the point is not at all in this. You wrote that our medicine resembles the PRC and Soviet. I showed you that the nifig does not resemble the PRC because the ill Chinese were identified only in China itself, and they traveled freely throughout the Russian Federation. Where are the measures against the spread ?!
              And the Soviet also does not resemble. The Soviet did not mean paid services, and even in the context of a mass pandemic, and even more so, what kind of paid services can we talk about? Or the state decided a little more on this and cut off the headstock ?!

                The sick people were identified in China, yes, but where were they supposed to be identified, in Moscow or Vladivostok? The alarm was sounded when the virus became a reality, when it spread throughout the world, including and in Russia. Once the focus of the disease is China, it is completely natural that the first doctors to find it were Chinese. So far, our people have admitted that this virus is a real threat, while they have developed solutions to the fight, then yes ... how much time has passed. Normal process.
                My friend, here you can sit back and moan for an arbitrarily long time about the imperfections of Russia in general and Russian health care in particular, but absolutely all countries have managed and were not ready for the new virus. Even a rich and prosperous Europe managed in full. So what to talk about us, the poor and the wretched)))

        In particular, Peskov announced the testing of everyone who meets with the Russian president.

        Answering the question whether the president is in a regime of self-isolation, Peskov recalled that the day before the president arrived in the Kremlin to hold a meeting on the development of the Far East. According to the spokesperson, the president continues to meet with a small number of people.

        "Those who take part in these meetings undergo a thorough medical examination and are tested, and in advance," said Peskov.

        He added that, as a rule, we are talking about people who take special precautions in terms of the regime of self-isolation despite the working regime.

        Journalists also noticed that the personnel from the meeting show that the president shakes hands.

        Peskov replied that the participants in the meeting were carefully checked, therefore "in this case, the president reserves the right to adhere to the usual greeting rules that are considered appropriate for him."

        Peskov also said that Putin passes the coronavirus test as often as his doctor considers appropriate.

        The spokesman added that the test report was not known to him in detail.


        That is, even Peskov himself does not pass any tests ..

    American media is for Americans ... fool
    A pandemic of the media began to gain momentum in the world, looking for the origins of the coronavirus and those responsible for its spread. If Russia challenges the West in that it has “approached” the borders of NATO, why not admit that it is Putin’s system that should be the target of a major coronavirus attack.
    We are in a hurry to upset you, dear "members" and "circles" of the fun edition of Vox, for the demented.
    Coronavirus showed the inability of the civilized world in its existing organization to confront a serious threat. And Russia with the system that has developed in it is not in the best situation to talk about unaffected state and constitutional principles and order. Forced measures, but it was precisely the government that was poorly prepared for the threats of mass infection.
    You need to think and think hard. This is a virus, and there are also different parasites, or even worse, ticks. And with the complete extinction of bees, which just die as a result of the "mass appearance of ticks," humanity will be measured out several years of life.
    So is it worth ignoring the challenges of nature for the sake of satisfying one's own needs (and what ???) and a whim, to be higher than the bulk of the population, in order to simply die within the walls of his mansion, waiting for death as deliverance?

    It is very interesting to me and what kind of social support did the Reindeer Herder provide to Muscovites? 2 thousand people over 65? The second then, 2 thousand, received not all over 65. Meanwhile, in USA: payment of medical insurance, one-time payments to those whose income is not higher than $ 75 thousand per year - at 1200 bucks per adult and by 500 per child. Even impoverished Greece: one-time allowance 800 Euro. For each child - 90 euros for food between March 11 and May 4 as an alternative to school meals.

In short, her words: "All funds, namely 25% of all money allocated to the regions, are devoured by Moscow! The rest, about 45 oil regions ...., subsidized: Chechnya and ...." What remains for other subjects you can calculate yourself ... Therefore, the forest is cut mercilessly in the Central Federal District !!! Governors have no money! Spin, AS AND NOW, as they can. Before the Duma elections or elections you know who you are, they are given handouts if the "plan is fulfilled" and that's it !!! Yes, there are those who fill their pockets from the crumbs of their regions. Someone is stirring up their business. Etc. But it was precisely the top who brought such a life. Pancake stereotype and standard. I have the mayor of the city in the tail, and in the mane for the roads, for medicine. What will he do? The businesses are all bankrupt. Shops remained, but a couple of sewing shops. With whom to take him, and from him still the center sucks. So it's not that simple. He complains to the governor, and he makes a helpless gesture that there is no money. The center allocated 2 million rubles for the development of infrastructure !!! I have five architectural monuments in the city, just to see. It is necessary to restore them. Now the mayor is sitting and wondering where to put this huge money.
