It's not that I didn't think of that myself, and everybody here knows I don't much trust Vladimir, but in this case I'm giving the Putin's the benefit of the doubt.

Israel is helping test it and may want to purchase it.
Hadassah-University Medical Center will help test a vaccine for coronavirus that Russia says it has developed, Prof. Zeev Rotstein, its director-general, told The Jerusalem Post Wednesday

Before I even clicked on your link, I was thinking even in the days of the economically stagnating Soviet Union they could build nuclear missles almost as good as us, so when they concentrate on something it can't be underestimated.
Your link reminded me they were the first ones in space. Sputnik was launched the year I was born. My father told me he would listen to it's signals on the short wave radio he built from the Heath catalogue.

The Soviets’ rapid industrialization and stellar (no pun intended) space program made it impossible for us to do our typical racism: inferior race is dumb.
So instead we crafted a “the slavs are natural liars and tricksters” narrative, and wouldn’t ya know it, we’re still using it to this day.

Glad to see you E.
The Russians gotta have some of the most sophisticated tech out there. They hung wit us during Star Wars in 80s. Even though there was a breakup; contrary to popular opinion (thosee commie bastards), that shit didnt just disappear.

Yeah.
I'm a Czech. I'm going to go there someday.
But yeah, lookin at porn, Eastern Europe is one of my destination sites.
When I was teaching intro statistics at the University of Illinois, the class was Sociology 185/Geography 185. It was probably the easiest way to get through a stats requirement. I noticed there were a lot of good looking women, and I quickly found out a lot of nurses were taking my course. But then I started seeing these beautiful little blondes wearing danskins, those really long socks that come almost all the way up the thigh. I started looking at my class rosters and found out they were dance majors. I don't know why they made dance majors take statistics, but I was liking it.

The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill has shifted all undergraduate classes to remote learning following an outbreak a week after starting the semester. Grade schools and high schools in Indiana and several Southern states have shifted to remote for the same reasons, but many have tentative plans to reopen at some point this year.
So this is looking like a long process.
My younger brother had two kids in the mid 90's and he said he was always sick because they were bringing every cold and flu back from school.

Where I live, one county away from Chicago, just got shut back down by the Governor. It was all based on a data driven formula. So no indoor bar customers, outdoor bar areas closed at 11, no dancing. I understand the restrictions but it sucks for night people.
In other news, one person in Hong Kong and two in Central Europe have been confirmed to have been infected twice.

Bars should just be closed nationwide. There is nothing essential about a bar and they are clearly a major source of transmission.

That's true but mine has two pool tables in sufficiently empty areas. I'm sure it wasn't a good idea to be sitting at the bar.
But I'm at Amazon all week around hundreds of people and poor compliance for keeping their masks on. We're essential which means we were mostly selling beef jerky and pet food. At least nitrile gloves are in stock now.

Here, bars have been reduced to 25% capacity and you have to purchase food to get a drink. It's actually working pretty well. Cases are very low, and you can still grab a bite to eat and get a beer, which is nice.

We never were hit all that hard in Pittsburgh. We will see how it goes with colleges back in session. We got ushered in the second wave when they let bars open at 50% because kids were lining up around the block to get in. But with the current rules things are going well.

So Venezuela isn’t getting the vaccine. They’re participating in a clinical trial. One of the last countries in the world to do so. What a successful country
