  • Ok, still something to keep an eye out, but it might not be that devastating as it once was back in 2019-2020

    Covid mortality rate wasn’t never that high. Afaik was <5%, and we should consider many cases never got reported for example I had it without any symptom and just stayed home, didn’t make it into the statistics (I’m a remote worker so no issues). And most of it was probably due to poor healthcare conditions, since most western countries are screwing up in that regard (in my country the excess dead hasn’t decreased that much yet, even though >90% of the population is vaccinated). Probably more people will die from the enduring economic crisis caused by lockdowns and fearmongering than by Covid itself.














  • I have a theory that this was actually accidental. Ukraine has been attacking Moscow almost daily with drone attacks and their AA systems around Moscow must be in the highest alert possible. He was also close to one of Putin residences which itself has a bunch of AA systems to protection.

    So odds are a trigger happy AA system made the massive fuck up of shooting their plane down killing all inside.

    No one was probably counting on it, not even Putin. Was probably again a show of how shit the Russian army is. And it wouldn’t also be the first time Russian AA systems commit friendly fire, and won’t be the last.

    I doubt Putin would willingly kick the hornet nest like this, the Russian army can’t stop Wagner if they start rushing against Moscow again.
