In my "section of flats" (what do we call the section of flats on different levels that have one common porch entrance?), a young family fell ill with covid days ago. They had covid in 2020, before vaccines became available. They thought there was no need for them to vaccinate, because they had attained the immunity through disease.
I always forget what to call the "flight of flats". In Russian we say "in my porch", which may mean up to several dosen different apartments, all accessed by one common porch on the ground floor.
"Подъезд" (podyezd), porch.
Literally, "the place for driving to" (prefix pod and verb root yezd for "driving", like in "driving a horse").
@M.A.R. Thus far, it's been underwhelming. I initially thought it would be worse, and bought enough buckwheet to last a year.
It's only well into 2021 that I needed to buy buckwheet grain again.
A famous movie plot author died of Covid in Russia yesterday, aged 84. He was famous for his statement that "covid is a brilliant invention of the global pharmaceutical business".
He fell ill in December, but kept hiding the symptoms until he could no longer walk.
Even then, he refused to be taken to the doctor.
His close friend arrived in his flat and caused an uproar, and literally battled his way into hauling him to get CT scanned.
On the CT scan, his lungs were 90% damaged.
He then called an ambulance, and forced him to get hospitalized, and right into the ICU he went, and spent weeks under intensive care, to die yesterday. Unvaccinated.

How can you be this talented and still consider the pandemic a hoax.
A list of screenplays written by him.
In Moscow theya allowed people to obtain medical sick leave certificates via online consultation with doctors, and clinics were no longer thronged by covid cases.
I hope they follow suit in Yekaterinburg.
I managed to get an appointment with my GP a week ago, and it's due to take place on Thursday.
You can only go to a GP on the day of your complaint if you have extreme symptoms.
They are all overloaded and work sunrise to sunset now.
