"Sovereign" statistics as an alternative to the IgG test

On June 1, several of my friends who work at RSC Energia come out of quarantine. On may 5, their General Manager died from covid-19. On April 1, when the quarantine was introduced, 2,776 infected people were detected in the country, and on May 30  the number was  396,575. In other words, General Manager E. Mikrin was infected at a time when the probability of getting sick was 140 times lower than today. I do not think that in the case of complications, the chances of survival for ordinary employees are higher than for their General Manager, but the chances of getting sick have increased many times: in transport, in the factory canteen, and especially during a 9-hour stay in the office. President Trump demonstrates that he is with the people of America (every citizen received $1,200), he holds meetings, and almost every day communicates with journalists. Our situation is somewhat different with the President and with the help to Russian citizens. It is clear that the National Welfare Fund (169 $ billlion) is not to fight some Chinese flu, but to protect against a cheeky ("nahalny") threat.
But now it would be possible to help those who from June 1 will be packed into trains and buses, work in offices and enterprises so their taxes will go to the budget as a result. Before authorities  throw them into  the Red zone, they could ensure some safety by conducting free tests on antibodies (IgG class immunoglobulins), because today the cost of such a test in the Moscow region is $66 , and the result could be only in 7 days.
Now about the wonders of "sovereign" statistics. The first graph shows the number of cases and the number of people still ill in the United States. Their ratio is 65.2%. The time to double the number of infected people in the country is 53 days.

Patriotic meeting in one of Kiev 's school. Moscovites shood be stabbed.  "Men, who are not jumping  (not moving)  - are moscovites (Russians)!"


The head of the National Television Company of Ukraine (NTU) has been beaten by members of the nationalist Svoboda party and forced to write a letter of resignation over allegations that his channel aired anti-Ukrainian content. The office of the acting CEO of the National Television Company of Ukraine, Aleksandr Panteleymonov, was stormed by people who claimed to be members of the freedom of speech and information committee. What began as a loud conversation quickly turned into a fight.

Estonian foreign minister Urmas Paet: "All the evidence shows that people who were killed by snipers from both sides, policemen and people from the streets, that they were the same snipers killing people from both sides. ... Some photos that showed it is the same handwriting, the same type of bullets, and it is really disturbing that now the new coalition they don't want to investigate what exactly happened. So there is now stronger and stronger understanding that behind the snipers, it was not Yanukovych, but it was somebody from the new coalition."

EU foreign affairs chief Catherine Ashton: "I think we do want to investigate. I mean, I didn’t pick that up, that’s interesting. Gosh."

Paet: "It already discreditates (sic) this new coalition."

“The Russians are not going to permit the loss of their naval base in Crimea, or their military-industrial complex in the eastern Ukraine.  These are military-industrial cities.  This is all now threatened by this change in Kiev that the Americans engineered.

This situation is now more dangerous than the Cuban Missile Crisis.  If the  Americans have to save face, and they can’t admit that this was something they caused, and they continue demonizing Putin and Russia, the danger to the world is immense.

Everyone in the U.S. mainstream media is calling for war.  One retired general was saying, ‘We can whip the Russians easy.  They can’t shoot straight.  We should attack and send troops to Poland and send the U.S. Navy to take the Black Sea base from the Russians.’  This is crazy stuff -- absolutely crazy and insane talk.

Well, the Russians aren’t going to back down -- they can’t.  It would be a strategic disaster for them to lose their Black Sea base or to lose the military industrial-complex in eastern Ukraine. So lines are being drawn here.  What happens in Ukraine has serious consequences for Russia.  So they have a huge stake in Ukraine.  But the administration in Washington is not sufficiently intelligent enough to be aware of that, and they feel they’ve got to save face.

You see, Eric, when Kennedy and Khrushchev came eyeball-to-eyeball during the Cuban Missile Crisis, both were intelligent and sensible people.  They realized it wasn’t worth a war, especially between two nuclear powers.

But what have we got in the White House?  Some kind of sock puppet. What’s in the State Department?  Some kind of fool who goes around issuing threats to Russia.  Kennedy never talked that way, and when the generals tried to, he slapped them down.  So this is a totally different situation, and I think it’s a long way from being over.

Regardless, this has permanently poisoned Washington’s relationship with the Russian government.  The Russians now see that Washington is a reckless, irresponsible entity that tried to subvert an area of great strategic importance to Russia.

The American government it too full of hubris and arrogance to accept such a defeat.  So I think they will push further.  But there is extraordinary danger in taking such an aggressive stance, and people in Washington should understand that this push on Russia involves an incredibly high risk to the entire world.  That’s the great danger the world faces -- Washington’s arrogance.” link

Ukraine nationalist leader calls on 'most wanted' terrorist Umarov 'to act against Russia'
A leader of the Ukrainian radical group Pravy Sektor (Right Sector), Dmitry Yarosh, has called on Russia’s most wanted terrorist Doku Umarov to act against Russia in an address posted on Right Sector’s page in VKontakte social network.
The statement points out that “many Ukrainians with arms in the hands” supported Chechen militants in their fight against Russians and “it is time to support Ukraine now.”
The message, signed “leader of Right Sector Dmitry Yarosh” then calls on Umarov “to activate his fight” and “take a unique chance to win” over Russia.
Yarosh, who is a self-proclaimed deputy secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine, leads the far-right militant Right Sector group. He used to be a leader of radical nationalist group Trident, which became the core of Right Sector.
The radical leader has been consistently anti-Russian in his statements, calling for the destruction and division of the “Moscow Empire” and openly supporting Chechen militants and Georgian aggression. Yarosh believes Russia is Ukraine’s “eternal foe” and has said that war between the two countries is “inevitable.”
At the same time, the Right Sector leader said Ukraine should be “careful” with its future EU membership, as the “bureaucratic monster of Brussels” is “doing everything to bring to naught the national identity” of EU member countries.
Putin cited the actions of radical activists in Ukraine, including the chaining of a governor to a stage as public humiliation.  During siege of the Party of Regions HQ members of Maidan shootied at head a service engineer and burned another  technician in a basement using Molotov coctails.  

You’ve got to remember that in 1954 the Russians gave the Crimea to the Ukraine, which at that time was a vassal state of Russia.  It was their property.  So with all of the chaos erupting in Ukraine, they think they are entitled to take it back, and I don’t know that I would start a world war over it if I were the Western leaders.” (John Embry)

Medvedev market

MOSCOW, Nov 13 (Reuters) - Russian stocks have shed more than $1 trillion during Dmitry Medvedev's presidency as investors dump Russian assets on concerns the economy is sinking
into the worst crisis for a decade, investors said on Thursday. Stocks, bonds and the rouble have plummeted since a brief period of euphoria following Medvedev's May 7 inauguration.
The dollar-dominated RTS exchange <.IRTS> said the capitalisation of the stocks it handles has fallen more than $1 trillion to less than $400 billion since a market peak on May 19.
The crisis has further undermined confidence, already shaken by a series of corporate conflicts, worries about state intervention in companies and the war in Georgia.
"Things are as bad as they possibly could be: the Russian market no longer functions," said James Beadle, an asset manager at Pilgrim Asset Management, which invests in stocks and bonds. "The main reasons are obviously what is going on globally, particularly with commodity prices, and political issues within Russia," said Beadle. The crisis has undermined the Kremlin's ambitions to take Russia to the top table of world finance and illustrated the weaknesses of Russia's economy, which is heavily reliant on the export of oil, gas and natural resources.
The price of Urals crude , the main type of oil sold by Russia, fell to just over $50 on Thursday, the lowest since the start of 2007, from more than $140 in July. Trading on Russia's MICEX rouble denominated stock index <.MCX> was halted 35 minutes after opening on Thursday after the index tumbled as much as 17 percent, Gazprom , the world's largest natural gas company by reserves, has seen its market capitalisation slide $270 billion since late May to less than $100 billion.
DEATH SPIRAL?
The Russian stock market is now in what some investors are calling a "death spiral." Sovereign bond yields have soared and the central bank is being forced to sell tens of billions of dollars of reserves to support the rouble. The meltdown has revived memories of the 1998 devaluation of
the rouble and Russia's default on $40 billion in debt, an event which sent a wave of volatility through world markets. "This is on par with 1998 in terms of value destruction though it is not as structural as it was in 1998 -- it is now more about confidence and liquidity issues," said Beadle. Economists say falls in the price of oil threaten a ten-year economic boom and the stability that former President Vladimir Putin, who is now prime minister, was credited with enforcing after the chaos of the 1990s. The market falls under Medvedev -- whose name derives from the Russian word for bear -- have even spawned a series of quips from traders about bear markets. But investors said Medvedev, a 43-year-old former corporate lawyer, has fallen victim to the failure of his predecessor to reform the Russian economy. "This crisis shows what we all knew: that the Russians have not implemented any of the reforms they really needed to over
the past four or five years," said one investor who asked not to be named because of the sensitivity of the situation. The political fallout from the market slump has so far been muted, with opinion polls giving high popularity ratings to Putin and Medvedev. Critics say the Kremlin uses its power to contain any dissent. Plummeting confidence has been further diminished by a
series of state probes into Russian companies, including Uralkali and Mechel . Russia had a net capital outflow of $50 billion in October, the biggest on record, and more than $100 billion has been shaved off gold and forex reserves in three months. The turnaround in Russia's fortunes could not be sharper: in July Medvedev told an investor conference that the rouble should
be a reserve currency and Moscow a financial capital. Russia has hoarded the third largest gold and forex reserves in the world during the bull market for oil but all eyes are now on the rouble .
Dollars were on sale in Moscow at exchange offices on Thursday at 28.25 roubles. In May, the dollar cost about 24 roubles. "The population has seen its savings destroyed several times
in the last twenty years, and will not take any chances," Beadle said. "Popular as Russia's current leaders are, citizens have learned to be cautious with their savings."

God bless America

The country is is trouble anyway and no one including McCain's Mcplan and Obama's no-plan can bail things in 4 years..it's too deep of a crap hole, too screwed up. So on a lighter note, from a travel agent's point of view, THE COUNTRY IS IN TROUBLE:
Why our Country is in Trouble according to a DC airport ticket agent who offers some examples of 'why' U.S.A. is in trouble:

1. I had a New Hampshire Congresswoman ask for an aisle seat so that her hair wouldn't get messed up by being near the window. (On an airplane!)

2. I got a call from a candidate's staffer, who wanted to go to Capetown. I started to explain the length of the flight and the passport information, and then she interrupted me with, ''I'm not trying to make you look stupid, but Capetown is in Massachusetts .''

Without trying to make her look stupid, I calmly explained, ''Cape Cod is in Massachusetts , Capetown is in Africa ''. Her response - click.

3. A senior Vermont Congressman called, furious about a Florida package we did. I asked what was wrong with the vacation in Orlando. He said he was expecting an ocean-view room. I tried to explain that's not possible, since Orlando is in the middle of the state. He replied, 'don't lie to me, I looked on the map and Florida is a very thin state!'' (OMG)

4. I got a call from a lawmaker's wife who asked, ''Is it possible to see England from Canada ?''
I said, ''No.'' She said, ''But they look so close on the map.'' (OMG, again!)

5. An aide for a cabinet member once called and asked if he could rent a car in Dallas. When I pulled up the reservation, I noticed he had only a 1-hour layover in Dallas. When I asked him why he wanted to rent a car, he said, ''I heard Dallas was a big airport, and we will need a car to drive between gates to save time.'' (Aghhhh)

6. An Illinois Congresswoman called last week. She needed to know how it was possible that her flight from Detroit left at 8:30 a.m., and got to Chicago at 8:33 a.m. I explained that Michigan was an hour ahead of Illinois , but she couldn't understand the concept of time zones...Finally, I told her the plane went very very fast, and she bought that.

7. A New York lawmaker called and asked, ''Do airlines put your physical description on your bag so they know whose luggage belongs to whom?'' I said, 'No, why do you ask?'
She replied, ''Well, when I checked in with the airline, they put a tag on my luggage that said (FAT), and I'm overweight. I think that's very rude!'' ...After putting her on hold for a minute, while I looked into it. (I was dying laughing). I came back and explained the city code for Fresno , C A is (FAT - Fresno Air Terminal), and the airline was just putting a destination tag on her luggage.

8. A Senator's aide called to inquire about a trip package to Hawaii . After going over all the cost info, she asked, ''Would it be cheaper to fly to California , and then take the train to Hawaii ?''

9. I just got off the phone with a freshman Congressman who asked, ''How do I know which plane to get on?'' I asked him what exactly he meant, to which he replied, ''I was told my flight number is 823, but none of these planes have numbers on them.''

10. A lady Senator called and said, ''I need to fly to Pepsi-Cola , Florida. Do I have to get on one of those little computer planes?'' I asked if she meant fly to Pensacola , FL on a commuter plane. She said, ''Yeah, whatever, smarty!''

11. A senior Senator called and had a question about the documents he needed in order to fly to China . After a lengthy discussion about passports, I reminded him that he needed a visa. 'Oh, no I don't. I've been to China many times and never had to have one of those.'' I double checked and sure enough, his stay required a visa. When I told him this he said, ''Look, I've been to China four times. and every time they have accepted my American Express!''

12. A New Mexico Congress woman called to make reservations, ''I want to go from Chicago to Rhino, New York .'' I was at a loss for words. Finally, I said, ''Are you sure that's the name of the town?'' ' 'Yes, what flights do you have?'' replied the lady. After some searching, I came back with, ''I'm sorry, ma'am, I've looked up every airport code in the country and can't find a rhino anywhere.' ''The lady retorted, ''Oh, don't be silly! Everyone knows where it is. Check your map!'' So I scoured a map of the state of New York and finally offered, ''You don't mean Buffalo , do you?'' The reply? ''Whatever! I knew it was a big animal.''

Iran to dig thousands of graves for enemy soldiers

IRAN is to dig 320,000 graves in border districts to allow for the burial of enemy soldiers in the event of any attack on its territory, a top commander said today.

"In implementation of the Geneva Conventions ... the necessary measures are being taken to provide for the burial of enemy soldiers,'' the Mehr news agency quoted General Mir-Faisal Bagherzadeh as saying.
"We have plans to dig 15,000 to 20,000 graves in each of the border provinces or a total of 320,000,'' the general said, adding that some of them would be mass graves if necessary.
Mr Bagherzadeh said Iran was keen to "reduce the suffering of the families of the fallen in any attack against our country ... and prevent any repetition of the long and bitter experience of the Vietnam War''.
His comments came as the United States continued to refuse to rule out an eventual resort to force against Iran over its contested nuclear program, which the West fears is cover for a drive to build an atomic weapon.

Iran Gen Warns Would Use Control Of Strait If Attacked

TEHRAN (AFP)--The chief of Iran's elite Revolutionary Guards warned that Iran
would use its control of the Strait of Hormuz in response to an attack, a
newspaper reported on Saturday.
"It is natural that when a country is attacked it uses all of its
capabilities against the enemy, and definitely our control of the Persian
Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz would be one of our actions," General Mohammad
Ali Jafari told the conservative daily Jam-e Jam.
The strait is a vital conduit for energy supplies, with about 20%-25% of the
world's crude oil from Gulf oil producers passing through the waterway.
"Certainly if there is fighting... the scope will be extended to oil, meaning
its price will increase drastically. This will deter our enemies from taking
action against Iran."
His comments came after U.S. media reported that more than 100 Israeli
warplanes staged a training exercise with Greece earlier this month to
prepare for a possible long-distance strike - a maneuver seen as a warning to
Tehran.
