Despite vaccination with Russian Sputnik, I’ve got covid. It was relatively mild, but with elevated levels of D-dimer, which means higher risk of thrombosis. I am fine now.
Notwithstanding availability of vaccines, only 10 per cent of Russian population has vaccinated and the reasons is strong disbelieve in what government say. Some people wait more classical Chumakov vaccine which is built around inactivated viruses of covid, not mRNA or vectors, but its production is limited.
Lockdowns measures are also almost absent in Russia and life looks normal. In May, the covid incidence started to grow again in Moscow, may be fuelled by new strains.
Meanwhile, Russia accumulated largest in decades army on the west border with Ukraine in spring, and even delivery agricultural machinery was delayed because of urgent demand for railroad tracks from military. The was speculation about possible annexing of the part of Ukraine, but nothing has happened. Ukraine now got access to very effective Turkish drones and it may use them to reclaim lost land in Donbas, so Russian deployment may be a countermeasure.
Reforestation of Siberia may be not a solution for global warming, as trees have lower albedo than grass. To support grasslands in Siberia we need… mammoth, according to the director of Pleistocene park.
Russian scientists expect that the next pandemic will be from bird flu H5N8, which is slowly adapting to humans in last 10 years.
Also, the systems of dams on major Russian rivers is old and were built in Soviet time. A collapse of any such system would be very large local catastrophe; meanwhile strong floods are expected in Enisey river in June Such catastrophe may shift public perception of hydroenergy in the world which is currently regarded as safe and renewable source.
Russian “success” in hypersonic missiles prompted Pentagon to develop its own even quicker missiles; such missiles give less time for a counterstrike decision and increase the chances of accidental nuclear war.
The most plausible explanation of the recent UFO reports near US fleet is Russian or Chinese drones which pretend to look like alien spacecraft and spoof radars with fake images about speed and positions, thus prompting them to turn on war mode and provide valuable information, according to Drive. However, Russian drones’ development are lagging even from Turkish, so “UFOs” are less probable to be Russian drones than Chinese.
