Russia and their border / Top 10 Countries with the Highest Death Rates!

I took a look at this as a result of another thread. So take a read as I was shocked as all we hear about is starving people in Africa. Then we hear about the Middle East and West Asia. So obviously Putin is aware of these figures also as several countries on this list are in the Russia neighborhood. Is it genetics? Bad food? Bad water?

I do recall this commercial from back in the day. But this gal in 2022 looks like she was made in the USA! Yep, lets eat more chicken!

Wendy's - Soviet Fashion Show (1985, USA)

With exception to Lesotho many of these countries are in Russia's neighborhood. Four as HIGHLIGHTED are along the Russia border. So is it NATO or something else that caused Putin to invade? Just keep an open mind as I did not expect to see this. So what does it mean? It means to fast without food prolongs life as we know it.

Death Rate by Country 2022

Top 10 Countries with the Highest Death Rates (per 1,000 people) — United Nations 2015-2020:

Bulgaria — 15.4 Ukraine — 15.2 Latvia — 14.6 Lesotho — 14.3 Lithuania — 13.6 Serbia — 13.2 Croatia — 13.1 Romania — 13.0 Georgia — 12.8 Russia — 12.7

Take a good read at the complete country list[scroll down web link page]. North Korea isn't that far from the USA along with Haiti. Good job FDA!!!! Puerto Rico? Not bad!

So at the end of the day does Putin think that as a race they are going down because when one looks at the above numbers something is up. They all just don't eat Caviar and drink Vodka in Russia and the surrounding countries. Much of their diet seems to be related to roots as in beets, cabbage and vegetables. Is something in their water?

Or, is it USA fast food?

Five of them are members of the European Union.

Maybe the EU stopped paying them subsidies?

I have no doubt that Putin is solely to blame for all this.


Romanian hospitals in crisis as emigration takes its toll

Thousands of doctors and nurses have left Romania in past decade, leading to dire staff shortages

www.theguardian.com...



Romania wants to fight shortage of doctors with more places in residency program

“Romania is facing a major shortage of specialist doctors, a deficiency that will deepen in the coming years, their number likely to reach the figure of 12,000 specialists over the next 15 years,” reads the draft decision.

Romania's healthcare exodus

Romania has bled out tens of thousands of doctors, nurses, dentists and pharmacists since joining the European Union a decade ago, lured abroad by what the country lacks: significantly higher pay, modern infrastructure and functional healthcare systems. France, Germany and Britain are among the most popular destinations.

Bulgaria’s public health crisis

Bulgaria has the weakest health and social security systems in the EU. Patients officially pay 48% of health costs, but that doesn’t include the bribes required to obtain decent service. For years, nurses and doctors have emigrated to Western Europe, those remaining are overworked and underprotected.

Giving and receiving: effects of labour emigration on the Bulgarian labour market

In Bulgaria there are, for example, acute shortages of medical personnel. Almost 50% of nurses have left the country or the profession in the last 20 years. Following accession to the EU about 1200 nurses emigrate each year. About 20% of doctorshave declaredtheir intention to emigrate.

Only 5% of doctors and 4% of the nurses in the country are under the age of 30 years. Around 20% of physicians in this country are older than 60 years, and 48% are between 46 and 60 years. When these people go, pension cadres in the health care system will reach a critically low level.

Much of Bulgaria’sdoctors are oriented to western European labour markets because of better pay and better working conditions. Bulgarian doctors prefer to immigrate to the United Kingdom (42%), Germany (25%) and France (8.9%). There is a tendency for them to leave the country during their student days. Of the doctors who go abroad, 78% are young.

Bulgaria Experiencing Critical Shortage of Doctors in Certain Specialties and Nurses

The situation with the shortage of doctors in certain specialties and nurses in Bulgaria is critically serious and it is necessary to quickly identify measures and implement them, MP Dzhevdet Chakarov (MRF) said during debates in the National Assembly on Friday.

He noted that according to the Bulgarian Medical Association, more than 60 per cent of doctors are over 50, and one in three nurses is retired. There is over-specialization in certain specialties and an acute shortage of others, and according to a study by the Medical University in Sofia, 60 per cent of medical graduates are ready to leave the country, 30 per cent of them immediately after graduation.

Can't stop laughing. Thanks for posting.

I wonder about data collection. Some countries simply don't report accurately.

I was in Constanta, Romania a few years ago. The state of the country was pathetic. A taxi cab driver, who acted as a tour guide as well, pointed out "modern" buildings in Constanta. He pointed to an apartment building that had been constructed during the Soviet era which looked like a bomb shelter that had been hit multiple times! He was very proud of "modernization" - he also wore an old style Soviet Naval cap - his sense of style highly questionable!! Nice guy, but felt very sorry for him.

I visited an old Orthodox church outside Constanta. I thought I was back in the 13th-14th century. Old women dressed in black carrying candles. Horse-driven carts all over the roads. The neighborhood where the church was situated was studded with old houses that hadn't been upgraded in centuries. A restaurant with an outhouse - apparently outhouses are still very much in use.

I wouldn't be surprised if their death rate is actually much higher than reported.

NATO and The U.S. sure seem helpless and decrepit don't they. And they seem to keep admitting it Hmmm 🥶

outhouses and horse carts?!

I thought Romania was a fairly modern first-world country.

cannot imagine such living in the 21st century. aside from some really remote third-world places.

must be frustrating to live in that part of the world. so much wealth so close.
helps me understand why people in that part of the world spend summers round here. must be a great life, even working as maids and cooks and such.

a reply to: ElGoobero


Actually, the economy itself is doing well. If you live and work in Bucharest, it's a pleasant country. Constanta is on the coast and not very well developed. The Black Sea coastline is absolutely stunning though - Romania, Bulgaria, Ukraine to Crimea, absolutely gorgeous coastline. Weather is superb also. Has the potential to be like the Riviera. If only...........

Overall I was shocked by the data.

They do excel with extortion via Ransomware. My wife's company was hit in 2019 just before Covid-19. They paid the ransom, got the key which didn't work!!

I don't understand who you call "they."

Bulgarians and Romanians?

Doctors?

Someone else?

I try to write in 6th grade readable English. This means all ten countries as mentioned in the Article.

Mission un accomplished?

I gave some examples (in my previous post) of those who could be hiding inside "they"
