Coronavirus in Moscow: Situation Goes Out of Control as 20,000 Infected

Sorry to others as my rage on this Coronavirus subject sometimes gets the best of me.

I am not posting this as doom porn or for a thrill. My immune system from a respiratory standpoint has been compromised since I returned from the Netherlands on business in 2005. At that time I contracted a severe respiratory infection on a Delta flight from Amsterdam. I was working for a large company and was in charge of Global Quality Assurance. I was given [5] separate prescriptions to be taken at the same time to kill it. I remember the look in the Doctors face. He looked scared and he was a Pulmonary Specialist MD. That was then. Now I get a serious respiratory infection annually. Last year it was knocked out after six sleeves of antibiotics. That was three separate trips to the doctor. I am posted this so you can get an understanding of whats happening globally and because for almost three weeks nothing was reported on domestic Coronavirus on any Russian related newspaper on the web. That included Pravda, RT Today and Sputnik. To me I thought the Russians were either up to something or they were hiding something.

Well now we know.

Coronavirus in Moscow: Situation goes out of control www.pravdareport.com...

So this morning the subject story appears. Typically when a headline appears like this someone didn't follow the corporate or government narrative. Correct. Some one went nuts and published the article.

20,000 infected with coronavirus in Moscow The Commissioner for Human Rights in Russia Tatyana Moskalkova urged everyone not to panic and not to spread rumors about the infection of 20,000 people in Moscow with coronavirus, which they supposedly silence not to disrupt the voting on amendments to the Russian Constitution. "If you are afraid and want to play it safe, go and take your children to the doctor," Moskalkova wrote on рук Instagram account. Representatives for the Moscow headquarters for monitoring the situation with the spread of the coronavirus said that between January 24 and February 28, as many as 204 people were hospitalized with suspected coronavirus, but the virus was not confirmed with any of those patients.

I am not gloating about this or the on going's in any other country. I also hope it fizzles out. However 20,000 is quite a few people in Moscow.

My only advise at this time is think it out for yourself and do whats best for you.

As a PS this is what I have done in 2019. I obtained a prescription for Flovent HFA 220MCG, aerosol. It retails at $459.99 at Walmart and will last 60 days @ 2 puffs per day. To date in 2020 I am infection free. This allows me to hopefully live on. Its also not cheap. Nor is life.

Whatever I encountered on that fight in 2005 per the doctors is the root cause of the above in 2020.

$459.00 for Flovent!? Inuse this as an adhesive barrier for my sons Dexcom and it cost $100.00 when we had no coverage, and now costs less than $30.00.

a reply to: Waterglass

please stop and think - given that other countries with more direct links to the wuhan area // PRC in general - have no where near this case load . ie japan korea tiawan philipines etc etc etc

why do you believe this sudden one off doom porn number

where have 20k cases " sprung from "

it COULD be true - but ...............................

So I don't understand one thing; why is it that every rumor about this virus is believed and every official count is seen as a lie?

Is it 204 people in Moscow or 20,000? Can the Russian government really silence 20,000 people with out leaving a foot print?

He's using the 220mcg prescription. It's much more expensive than the 44 or 110mcg variants.

I'm less worried about the virus and more worried about the panic that it seems to have caused. I'm not making light of the coronavirus, I believe it's a nasty virus and many people will die. I just don't want see mine and others 401k's to nosedive over Instagram and Facebook users scaring everyone. I don't want to see people that live paycheck to paycheck with little in their pantries to arrive at the grocery store only to find those with more money have emptied the shelves. I don't want to see more small business owners losing their businesses because people quit going about their normal lives due to fear mongering.

I stand corrected. I didn't know it was legal to order prescriptions online. I'm lucky that I don't take any at this point but if I ever do, I know what route to take. Thanks.

Quoted for truth. The people hoping all this happens are sick.

Sure Russia has it bigger than anyone.
I'm so sure.

a reply to: Atsbhct

So someone's zero key got stuck down then. Added five zeros to the two actual cases.

Good one Pravada!

Russia has their own internet now. They can control things online very easily.

Because they want the virus to be really bad so it hurts the economy and gives them a better shot at beating Trump.

Imagine that, hoping people get sick and inevitably die, as well as lose jobs and have wages cut in the ensuing economic crash, just so it helps you in an election.

Given that USA hospitals do not have the Cov-19 test available it sure seems Trump is the one who wants this to explode. Two months and they still do not have the test! The WHO has offered to provide the test and Trump declines. Meanwhile who knows how many Americans are walking around spreading this to their communities? All because the administration fails to take this seriously because it will provide bad optics for the election. What provides bad optics is doing nothing. This was Trumps chance to actually be Presidential and he has fallen flat on his face.

CDC made a poor decision about which particular test kits to use. The kits they wanted to use proved unreliable and that has delayed nationwide rollout. You can read more here. It sounds like some career bureaucrats at the CDC bungled this up. If you've got some information that Trump personally made that decision, I'd love to see it.

A "potential" pandemic should not be used as a political platform but it's too late for that and I'll add my .02. Trump is OUR President. He can't politicize it because his administration is in charge. The Democrats have politicized because they CAN. If the roles were reversed, Republicans would be doing the same.

The difference is that Republicans would not be hoping for an economic collapse and more deaths. That's the difference between the parties.

Back on Topic. Getting reliable news from Russia is like getting it from China. At this point, I'm focused on my country but praying for everyone.

a reply to: Waterglass

Searched all over the internet and I can't find any source - regardless of reliability - that states there has been more than two confirmed positive cases in the whole of Russia - both Chinese nationals.

Latest news is they are doing random tests on the Moscow Metro system.
