Editor\u2019s note:<\/strong>\u00a0This is fresh. Russia\u2019s main Covid-19 alarmist, the Moscow rat mayor Sobyanin is now sounding like Andres Tegnell talking about \u201cherd immunity\u201d and how there is no cause for alarm. The scumbag played a huge role in locking down, not just Moscow, but also Russia.<\/em><\/p>\n Russia Insider<\/p>\n But for whatever reason Russia reopened after a briefer lockdown period than Western Europe.\u00a0The fact that a lockdown has been deemed unnecessary and unhelpful for the present situation as about\u00a0150 Russians continue to die while carrying the virus daily<\/a>, is proof enough it was just as unnecessary (and disastrous) in April when the daily death toll was only slightly greater.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n In fact, even before Sobyanin\u2019s ruling that masks are no longer mandatory Moscovites had already stopped wearing them. His apparent U-turn from a COVID Rouge zealot to a relative dove is him having to bow down to what the people are already practicing.<\/em><\/p>\n MOSCOW, July 10. \/TASS\/.\u00a0The herd immunity threshold for COVID-19 in Moscow is at the level that allows relaxing the restrictions imposed<\/strong>\u00a0in the city amid the pandemic,\u00a0moreover a second wave is not expected in the city<\/strong>\u00a0in the near future,\u00a0Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin<\/strong>\u00a0said in a televised interview with the Russian channel Rossiya-24 on Friday.<\/p>\n \u201cOn the basis of experience and conversations with a variety of experts, doctors and specialists of Rospotrebnadzor [the Russian consumer watchdog], I can see that we managed to pass the peak\u00a0and no second wave is expected in the foreseeable future.\u00a0We believe that the population in Moscow has developed herd immunity, which lets us ease the restrictions with confidence,\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0he said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Sobyanin pointed out that he takes calmly any coronavirus forecasts.\u00a0The Moscow mayor said that people have \u201cgot used to the threat\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0and constantly expect\u00a0bad news.<\/p>\n Nevertheless, Sobyanin recalled, the Russian capital hosted the Victory Day Parade and voting on amendments to the Russian constitution in recent weeks.<\/p>\n \u201cPrior to the parade, there had been lots of prognoses, including negative. But nothing bad happened,\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0the mayor said adding that there were rumors that the authorities were understating morbidity rates.<\/p>\n \u201cNothing like that.\u00a0Those were all lies.<\/strong>\u00a0It can be stated today that we have been witnessing the disease rate going down over these days and weeks,\u201d Sobyanin concluded.<\/p>\n Earlier, Sobyanin signed a decree on the next stage of easing coronavirus restrictions.\u00a0On July 13, wearing face coverings will not be mandatory outdoors<\/strong>, except public transport, stores and other public spaces.\u00a0Educational institutions, amusement and recreational parks and\u00a0cultural centers will reopen on that day.<\/strong><\/p>\n On August 1, theaters, cinemas and concert halls with under 3,000 seats could reopen<\/strong>, but their seating capacity will be cut by half.<\/p>\n Source:\u00a0TASS<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n
