Fuck you, anti-vaxxers. And fuck you, dear government that de-facto does everything possible to persuade people not to trust Russian vaccines (it looks like Sputnik is an actually effective one, but of course, the official position is that it has no side effects whatsoever, and it leads to speculations; anyone who dares to speak publicly about, say, thrombosis can be legally persecuted for spreading misinformation about covid; needless to say, all this leads to lack of trust and insanely low tempo of vaccination). Basically, fuck everyone who contributes to missing group immunity here in Russia.

Some of you probably remember the moronically happy thread I created just two weeks ago. My father's assumed stroke turned out to be a harmless transient ischemic attack. Well, we are burying him tomorrow. During his five days in the first hospital he managed to catch covid. First symptoms appeared the day after his discharge, and the next day he was in a hospital again. Early in the morning on the 16th of July we received that awful call. He turned 66 five days before that.

I'm kinda anesthetized for now. I'm perfectly calm (except for that anger) and spend most of my time comforting my mother. Basically, I'm in denial so far. I guess, tomorrow I'll start feeling (or maybe not).

Actually, what I'm trying to say is this: take care of your parents and grandparents. Get vaccinated yourself and get them vaccinated (that is, unless they have some contraindications like my dad had, of course). Love them while it's possible, it can all end really abruptly.

Edit: sorry for not answering anyone personally, I read everything and appreciate all you comments, just don't have energy to answer you guys properly. Thank you all for your kind words!

Wow, You have my most sincere condolences. You have every right to be angry, especially with the hospital as they didn't manage to keep a safe place.

Could you maybe have a malpractice suit on your hands?

Also special fuck to those who do not want to wear masks because they are uncomfortable. They don't care how many people they infect and how many will die, they consider themselves immortal until they get sick themselves. And in this case, everyone is to blame, except themselves.

these words are killing the people around you. Start thinking. Pour water into the medical mask and see what happens. Use the spray gun through the mask and look. But of course this will not convince you and you will continue to kill people in the same way, just like murderers like you

No, but it substantially reduces the chance of transmission with almost zero cost and no penalty beyond discomfort.

Correct, but a thin piece of special fabric will. That's why you have to wear the correct masks.

I feel your pain. My father died three and a half years ago from cancer and I'm still not over it. I just can't forgive the ill treatment he received at the hospitals here in Croatia. Our public health system is collapsing. Every year it keeps getting worse.

Really sorry that you had to go through all that. The negativity around S-V all seemed part of western propaganda to me too. Even AZ suffered the same just because they had trouble delivering to the EU and it caused hesitancy all over.

You know, I'm Hungarian and in the same boat. Our PM likes to boast his 2/3 in the Parliament, but he got that with less than 50% of the votes. Many, many people simply doesn't trust him and his subordinates, and with good reasons.

And it seems not everyone agrees with you :P

[START OF IRONY] No, you are wrong. Most people support government in North Korea. But countries like China, Iran, Cuba, Venezuela, Belarus,... and Russian federation are so close to them... [END OF IRONY]
Back to main topic - Get vaccinated if you can, ther is no other way to stop it... :-(

damn, i'm really sorry to hear all that. that's incredibly fucked. i don't know anything about law in russia, but are there any steps you can take against the hospital? i'd imagine if someone gets sicker resulting from a hospital visit then someone needs to pay up.
my parents are around that same age and hearing shit like this always reminds me how short life is.

Eastern and Central Europe works a little different ways than the US. Actuially here the hospital can get away with something like that easily.

Not for everyone. That's the main problem with COVID-19: the symptoms and the timeline of the disease can be very different between people.
