Did Russia ever get around to actually taking care of their elderly population? About 4 years ago they passed legislation that was supposed to ensure that the elderly don't get ignored and it's supposed to be fully implemented a couple of years from now.

Well they disabled free public transportation IDs of elderly people and are issuing fines if elderly are caught outside going to hospitals, getting food etc As well as moved pension age to 65/60 m/f from 60/55 Also the inflation is 15% yearly while pension indexing is like 2% Also reduced pensions for working elderly people So yeah, no.

In a small toast to myself, Kolomoskyi is now on the sanctions list. At this rate the FBI and DOJ will be extraditing him to stand trial sometime before 2040. Which should be just around the time Ukraine is seeking reunification for defaulting on their IMF debts to protect said psychopath from justice. Also, big shoutout to the poster FKA BrownMoses who made Time this month. Be sure to apply for a peerage, you deserve it.

Meanwhile here in Estonia, covid pandemic has gone out of control. Now it's a damned good idea not to get injured in any way because there is no medical personnel available. We do have beds but no people to watch them. Ignoring the experiences of previous spring in Italy, Spain, other countries and what Czechia had in October (and is having now, IIRC?) our governments (the previous one and the current one) decided to gamble with restrictions in a bid to keep the economy alive (and their chances of getting elected) and we all lost. Masks were of course voluntary, the government told people to use common sense. At my workplace they made masks mandatory since the beginning of september because first new infections were found a few weeks before. Vaccination with astra-zeneca is also going slowly because nurses have to persuade people to take it. Some people (generally Russians) would prefer Sputnik V. They heard on the news that it's better and doesn't cause any deaths or other side effects. Unlike AZ. One fellow died some days ago mere days after getting vaccinated, which doesn't help one bit. I was going to try emigrating anyway once this pandemic blows over. Just padding my CV now. Because we can't even build a sidewalk. jonnypeh fucked around with this message at 08:37 on Mar 7, 2021 |

The first time it was an immediate state of emergency, all borders closed, people bought a lot of supplies and didn't generally come out of their homes unless they needed to go to work or do shopping. My superiors anticipated this and even before the state of emergency, anyone who didn't need to be in the office was sent home and took their desktop computers with them. The cases blew over by the end of May. 1/4 of our domestic retail market depends on our warehouse, the office is in the same building. So we need to be extra serious about it. Then the second time. It all started out slow in late August at some party. No panic, business as usual. Unlike in spring we had the testing capacity right away. The government didn't take it as seriously as the first time, no drastic measures. Soon wearing a mask was recommended, but that was about it. There were also a bunch of measures that I didn't bother paying attention to because I already wore a mask in public places and I limited my comings and goings and shopping to off-peak hours since september. First they close some schools, then kindergartens, then reopen schools, open, close, open, close. At some point restaurants were permitted to deliver only, etc. A bunch of them were lifted before the last coalition disbanded, the new one didn't reinstate anything. Even if one of the coalition parties is the same as before. Apparently some people have been traveling abroad and enjoying themselves all this time. Some bigwigs celebrated somebody's birthday in a major way in November, with hundreds of partygoers - no reperecussions of any sort. A colleague went to Tenerife for a week, our president went on a ski trip to Switzerland in late December, my mother went to a cruise around the Aegean and a number of our cases now are from Tanzania. In late february we had a ski marathon, just some 3500 participants. That's the difference. I recently read some news about Italy stopping a shipment of AZ vaccine to Australia. How terrible of them. Then I looked up Australia's figures. Population 25 million, number of new cases 7-day average is 8. Yesterday we had 1,540. Czechia has a population of 10,65 million and they had 13,162 yesterday. Googling country name + covid gives the graphs right away.

I haven't posted about Estonia in a while, but let me tell you about how our previous coalition fell apart just a little bit over a month ago. It consisted of three parties (I'll also give the european parliament groups that they're a part of, this might give you a better idea of what they're about). pro patria party (EPP), conservative racists ("Identity and Democracy"), the center party (ALDE). The D-Day was almost upon us, the referendum those conservative racists really wanted: the question of marriage. Should it be between a man and a woman only. But it didn't come to it because mere days before the police detained an adviser to the minister of finance (held by a conservative racist) and accused her of taking bribes and facilitating bribes. They also detained a former businessman, accusing him of trying to benefit his son's business by giving said bribes and then some leading fellow from the center party. The prime minister (center party) resigned and no more coalition. That was actually very convenient. Maybe too convenient. Then the center party said they're willing to form a new coalition with the party that actually won the last elections, the reform party (also ALDE). They switched out some of their own ministers and the head of the reform party Kaja Kallas took the prime minister's position. But what I've been seeing, she doesn't really grasp the situation. I thought better of her.

That's active cass. There are very few beds and doctors available. Some regions are straight up out. There's supposedly a lockdown going on but I didn't notice any difference from past few weeks. You're not supposed to not travel, but there are enough loopholes to drive an oil tanker through. You can still go to work (WFH isn't mandatory, manufacturing is still chugging along), home, and you can write s paper yourself proclaiming that you are going for essential purposes. Cops are supposed to check at regional borders but I haven't seen a single one.  That's almost 200 deaths a few days ago, in the US this would correspond to over 6000 lol. Went from #1 I'm handling last year to #1 in deaths

Googling country name + covid gives the graphs right away. The John Hopkins site is really good for different graphs. https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/map.html As an Australian, the general consensus from the average person in here is that Italy/the EU needs the vaccines much more urgently than we do. We will have our own manufacturing of the Astra-Zeneca vaccine being produced within the next few weeks so it's only a slight delay. Our Covid cases are in the people undergoing the mandatory two week hotel quarantine and the odd community case would usually be a quarantine hotel worker or someone that transports international arrivals. A community case basically ensures the whole state undergoes a snap 5 day lockdown and all close contacts are required to isolate for 2 weeks even if getting a negative result. We are only allowing people to travel here for work on exemption passes or citizens wanting to return and with a cap on the numbers allowed in to allow the hotels to not be overwhelmed. Basically the population has found any outbreak to be unacceptable and the state politicians in power are granted re-election for succeeding. I didn't realise Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia had handled 2020 with so few covid cases until winter hit seeing the countries around them didn't fare so well. The price of not banning travel between countries I suppose when Covid is going crazy in the rest of Europe.

So similar stuff as in Finland, first wave hitted is worse than you, but it was still pretty ok. Now I guess people are getting frustrated on the whole thing and some covid denier's are fighting against everything and especially against the socialist female goverment and the infections are on the rise. We barely had any restrictions and it's hard to restrict anything cause freedom  People are not flying to abroad that much, but going to lapland and infection people there and then spreading them all over country. People are so loving stupid.

Meanwhile here in Prague if I were to tell off every rulebreaker, I would end up walking the dog just once in a day - we would set out in morning and come back at night.

Here in Poland we're pretty much back to the Golden Liberty days. There's a whole movement of restaurants and even nightclubs just straight up opening in full on civil disobedience mode, and of course having whole maskless superspreader events. Because the government is incredibly incompetent at law, some business owners are challenging the resulting fines in court and winning. Others are just doing whatever the hell they want because the state doesn't have the resources to effectively prosecute everyone. Various degrees of covid denial are surging and public opinion is visibly swinging hard towards "I want my life back, and if it means grandma dies then welp she had a good run". I can kind of understand the people who have a choice between opening and going bankrupt due to the lack of public support. But wow every single anti-mask moron with their "you can't tell me what to do" mindset should be loving forced to do community service in a hospital covid ward for a month, with the alternative being exorbitant fines that ruin their lovely lives and get paid to families of victims. I'm done having any empathy for these selfish assholes.

Do you guys have a legal state of emergency or just an "official recommendation" to sit home? Are there any laws issued regarding that?

Erulisse posted:Do you guys have a legal state of emergency or just an "official recommendation" to sit home? Our government opted not to go for a state of emergency, because it would be actually liable financially for many things, and also would mean the presidential elections of 2020, already looking tight, would have to be postponed. What they actually did was introduce a legislation through the parliament that aims to do what an act of emergency does, only without the liability attached. This doesn’t work, though, because an act of emergency can withhold parts of the constitution, while parliamentary legislation can’t. This means that the pigs, sanitation services and even the tax guard are enrolled into executing the legislation by arresting people for “illegal gatherings” or opening up their business, and courts are throwing these cases out as unconstitutional. It’s still a major hassle, as you have to pay fines upfront and the pigs are being dicks about it, transporting arrestees to jails hundreds of kilometers away and making sure that everyone, including grannies, gets their anal cavity searched. Meanwhile, government political rallies are a-ok. Also, it’s legal to train if you’re part of a national representation for something - anything - so a bunch of these have sprang up. Pay 10 euro, enroll to the Polish association of winter swimmers or line pullers or whatever the gently caress, and you’re free to go to fitness clubs. At least one minister was caught doing this for her kids, who, despite being 10-ish, were enrolled to represent Poland in skiing so they could go to a ski camp. Many restaurants are now open by appointment only, and cops are stalking outside the more popular outfits, harassing people. Some of the clubs have been so efficient in juggling regulations - becoming a museum of alcohol one week, and a beer tasting school the next - the tax guard had to be called in to requisite alcohol stocks on made ip charges. It’s a loving mess, but kinda a typical Polish mess, with lots of people being cynical assholes to each other. Now, I’m a loving neckbeard goon computer toucher so this has been a wonderful year of sitting at home and watching anime, but people are going nuts and actively being shat on by those in power. Everybody’s just super bummed and looking for any out. Mokotow fucked around with this message at 22:59 on Mar 9, 2021 |

It is. Only thing holding them back is putin's feeding hand. In fact, they are taught (in family) that strength is in force, the man should be a fighter and a warrior and woman should shut the gently caress up and obey and behave herself. Taught that they can exploit the weak and take what they want because they have the right of the strongest. The whole "russian" caucasus is omfg wtf atrocious. A few days ago a woman had her parental rights removed by court. She divorced 10 years ago, never received alimony and was supporting her kids alone. Basis of the decision? She is not wearing a hijab, has coloured hair and has piercing! I can't even.
