Just love my new camera phone, the Huawei Mate 30. Just had an update that made the camera even better. Huawei is a wonderful company…
Have a nice day and Sveta and I hope all is good for everyone!

Should do it, but we will push to the max the time limits. I look at life as, “It will all work out in the end!”
Trying to cross a border right now looks to be way too big in the issue department. Russia is shutting border after border down with countries and they have to. All the new cases of coronavirus basically are coming from people traveling to countries having the most issues with the virus….Italian traveling Russians, have blessed Russia with a pot full of virus issues, as they come home…
On Friday, St. Petersburg Governor Alexander Beglov told reporters that by that day five coronavirus cases had been registered in the city. Among the patients is a ten-year-old child. All the infected people had travelled abroad. They are being treated in hospital.

I actually have until June to be forced to leave Russia, but we wanted to have a change in the pattern to be able to travel, yes that sounds kinda stupid to think that far ahead right now…
So I got less stupid and will stay home with my sweetie, because my life follows Murphy’s Law…

MOSCOW, March 14. /TASS/. There has been a spike in coronavirus cases in Russia, from 45 to 59 over the past 24 hours, but all the 14 Russians infected with the novel coronavirus travelled to the European Union in the past two weeks, the coronavirus task force told reporters on Saturday. “In the past 24 hours, Russia has confirmed 14 coronavirus cases among the citizens of the Russian Federation. Among them are nine in Moscow, one in the Moscow Region, one in St. Petersburg, two in the Kemerovo Region an

Russia has been working hard to keep ahead of this coronavirus…
MOSCOW, March 15. /TASS/. Test systems for identification of the new coronavirus are available in each Russian region in sufficient quantities, press service of the Russian consumer rights and health control watchdog Rospotrebnadzor said. “Test systems for coronavirus identification are currently available in all constituencies of the Russian Federation. Everyone that traveled to countries where the disease is registered, everyone being in contact with those having the developed illness and everyone with

The MSM does not report news. It simply uses news as a coat stand to hang its propaganda upon.
The West = good. China = bad.
This rank hypocrisy, borne of a desperate liberal need to unnecessarily politicize everything, including the Covid-19 outbreak, has revealed an unflattering truth about ‘The Gray Lady,’ its sobriquet that once conveyed the impression the paper possessed of high virtue. No longer.
“China May Be Beating the Coronavirus But At a Painful Cost,” the NYT tweeted one day last week, flagging up its report that the Chinese lockdown and quarantine, which covered 60 million people, coincidentally the same as Italy’s entire population, “has come at great cost to people’s livelihoods and personal liberties.”
Then just 20 minutes later, up popped the same publication’s tweet on the European situation, announcing “Italy Locks Down Much of the Country’s North Over the Coronavirus.” So, did the Times condemn this as an attack on civil liberties by a nasty totalitarian regime?
Not quite. Because while at the time of the report, last Saturday, when only the north of Italy was affected (since expanded to include the entire country), there was a clear change of tone.
According to The Times: “By taking such tough measures, Italy, which is suffering the worst outbreak in Europe, sent a signal that restrictive clampdowns at odds with some of the core values of Western democracies may be necessary to contain and defeat the virus.”
So, lemme get this right. Restrictive clampdown in Italy? Necessary. Restrictive clampdown in China? A cure worse than the disease.

Really interesting as I sit here in Russia and being an American and regardless of what you think about if Russia is free or not. Regardless of if you like Snowden or not. He is running around Russia free. I run around Russia, drive around Russia. Travel around Russia and find myself much freer than when I have been in the US.
Snowden would be in prison in the US. I have been in jail in the US all for expressing my personal opinion about subjects that I was told to shut up about. I left when it was obvious that freedom was a farce in America…
The Freedom House article shows Russia as not free! Yet if Assange had made it to Russia instead of the UK, he would be living at least out of prison, as Snowden is doing. I ask myself would Manning be a girl right now? I feel that he was pushed as the only way out of permanent solitary confinement to either change or else…
Doesn’t matter either way. What matters is that Russia is free, yes somethings are as with everywhere, like wearing damn seat belts as you drive and turn them damn headlights on for safety stupidity irritate me. But I am free enough to say what I want when I want and I find that increasingly harder to do in the US.
It seems that western think tanks, media and whatnot’s have become so corrupted with propaganda and love of money that truth is just a dirty word anymore.
The map above is telling!
Basically west is green and purple is east and yellow is to be decided…
Oh, to piss you off a bit more; Guns do not make you free. Well unless you are willing to use them, before they take them from you. But regardless, that gun does not mean freedom. For many and I mean many Russians have hunting weapons. Hunting is big in Russia. Wild Boar, deer, ducks, geese whatever. I spend much of my life in a Russian village and believe me they have weapons. Maybe just shotguns and double bore rifles, but they are weapons.
Yet we say they are not free as we use guns as a standard of freedom for ourselves…
Also; I am freer than you are in the western world. I know, I have lived here in Russia since 2006. I found peace and harmony and very much a stable society!
Snowden has been here since 2013 and while I wonder about his validity on many things. He is free to travel and live a peaceful life in Russia. It is just right that he can. My opinion of Snowden is my opinion and he deserves a life if what he did is truth and we do know that there is much truth in what Assange and Snowden and Manning have said and done.
Just look at their freedoms as they all have a different path to deal with the US backlash…
Assange – No Freedom prison UK (Likely to die in prison!)
Snowden – Free to roam Russia… Girlfriend lives with him. He writes and works in Russia. Hmm!
Manning – Prison USA, Became a girl, Prison, tried to kill itself and now once again let free to start the process over again. (Permanently damage goods in its case!)

Got up at 4 a.m. and sipped a cup of coffee here in Russia. Svetochka is at her moms and I have the makings of a trip to leave Russia in my mind. Kyrgyzstan looks like the best bet. Fly into Bishkek international airport stay a few hours and come back to Russia. I would prefer to stay a few days, but with the coronavirus issue….best to play it safe. maybe just go alone, for if quarantined on the way back at the Russian border, it is just me and not Sveta who suffers…
It would be fun for Sveta and I both to go and spend a few days looking around, yet things change too fast right now. Even though Kyrgyzstan has not had a case yet of the virus. That they know of….looks like next week I play the cards I have been dealt…
These are the tidbits of life that make life interesting!
I thought the US was oil independent due to all the fricking & fracking with oil going on?
“Based on the price of oil, I’ve also instructed the Secretary of Energy to purchase at a very good price large quantities of crude oil for storage in the U.S. strategic reserve,” Trump said as he addressed the nation from the Rose Garden on Friday. ~~
“We’re going to fill it right up to the top, saving the American taxpayer billions and billions of dollars, helping our oil industry [and furthering] that wonderful goal — which we’ve achieved, which nobody thought was possible — of energy independence.” ~~
Why the sudden slamming on the brakes and going full reverse?
Because it is going to get much worse before it gets better and even the USA has to face reality at some point. You will find that the oil reserves will be filled with foreign oil and not our fracking junk lubricant…
Fracked oil is worthless unless mixed with the real stuff and they know this…
I am going to walk in a bit. Stop at a few stores and gather anything that I feel would be useful for prolonged home style quarantine. I know that Globus will be a ghost town this morning. Russians have already stocked and like I said weeks ago, “I hope you are stocking also?”
China has reversed the virus issue and Europe has become the new hot point…
I suspect that America will be right there trying to be number one also real soon…
China is pissed, Iran is vivid and until very recent the US tried its best to point fingers and cause turmoil with these countries. I have never seen the lies that fly, like the lies that are flying now. One thing that the US can be proud of is having the most obedient and well paid media on earth and they are using it to the best advantage that they can…
It will not be enough and just when you thought that you can only sink to the gutter, you find yourself going into the storm drain and ending up in the sewer…
I hope that Putin does stay as president for life. Russians deserve it and need it. Turmoil is the worst thing and American style politics are chaos in a hand basket. The Russian constitutional changes are very necessary, the Russian constitution was based on western constitutional standards and these have been found out to be detrimental to any and all societies….unless you go way back in the USA and grab the original constitution and abide by it, you will find that the US does not resemble what our founding fathers envisioned. Is that good or bad? Up to you my friend…
Cookie cutter rules and laws do not work the world over!

2/2 CDC was caught on the spot. When did patient zero begin in US? How many people are infected? What are the names of the hospitals? It might be US army who brought the epidemic to Wuhan. Be transparent! Make public your data! US owe us an explanation!
Did you just watch that video above? Oh yes it is possible and yes it is what it is…
A spokesman for China’s Foreign Ministry suggested on Thursday the U.S. military might have brought the coronavirus to the Chinese city of Wuhan, which has been hardest hit by the outbreak, doubling down on a war of words with Washington. China has taken great offence at comments by U.S. officials accusing it of being slow to react to the virus, first detected in Wuhan late last year, and of not being transparent enough.

I started to track this several days ago…
Weeks ago I first got wind of something astray….it was obvious at the time and has become more obvious…
Believe what you want, but don’t put your head in the sand and rely upon western media to tell the truth…
America is waging biological warfare with China. This time, it was really, really serious. Far worse than what started World War I, and World War II. It is being done without an Act of War, and Congressional approval. Luckily China took immediate steps, but the net-citizens, the world, and the people of Asia are on alert.
This will not be the last of what I bring to the surface and post on this subject of the coronavirus. It has to be kept from being erased by the west as it is done on so many topics they do not like…

People in Russia are self-isolating, due to virus issues. Russia has very low problems at this point and I think the real issue will come when the second round happens in the fall. I am not alone in this thinking, but for right now, people are starting to settle in at home. Since Russians are very self-sufficient in the first place, this is easy for them to do…
Globus looked like a ghost town this morning and I see their mainly Asian workforce is starting to get excited, in the bad way. I suspect many will try to run home soon…
It is interesting to watch as it all unfolds…
I have a predicament:
I have to leave the country of Russia. It is mandatory I leave every six months and we are not sure how to let this unfold. So next week I will be leaving for one day. We must find a fairly safe international airport to fly to and do what I did once before….fly in and out of a country in one day. Never leave the international zone, just cross the borders on a run…
We have already excluded Europe as a place to fly to. Too messed up and do damn crazy in their policies. Too many people from all over the world still being allowed to enter and exit like there is no issue happening…
Maybe, Kyrgyzstan? I am visa free there….we do not know yet about where to fly in and out fast. My luck, there will be someone who has the coronavirus and I will be quarantined for a month or so!
Sveta will have to stay home in Russia to run around the end-zone to help me if possible…
