'A Russian air force Antonov-124 "departed with medical masks and medical equipment for the United States," said a Russian Defense Ministry statement.

According to Kremlin spokesman Dmitri Peskov, Russian President Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump spoke about this aid during their telephone interview on Monday.

Go Russia for being such a supportive global partner in a desperate time of need!

Turns out France and Germany both snubbed Italy when they were desperate for assistance, awhile ago:

"

France and Germany have both come under fire for initially declining to provide Rome with face masks and other equipment to help it handle the outbreak.

But, guess who answered the call for assistance? China and Russia did:

One population with epidemic levels of the virus spread duking it out with another population with epidemic levels of the virus. And transporting people across the world for it. What could go wrong? 🙃

Oh, its just began now in earnest in Russia, no worries. After week or two they'll be chasing Western Europe's numbers (depending on how much they are able to cover up of course).

I wouldn't trust someone who's perfectly content misleading people to move on to legal action next...

Meanwhile New York, which has been hit like a motherfucker, allowed people to gather together to watch a ship earlier this week. Wake up and impose stricter measures you dinguses

So India, which seemed to be making the right moves to control this thing (they're currently under a nationwide 3 week lockdown, announced well before the virus got out of control), is now facing a massive potential outbreak thanks to one of the topics which the mods here won't let us discuss...

Hint: It's pretty much the same thing that happened in South Korea.

They are spraying people there with bleach or something. Its hilarious, sometimes I watch videos showing Indian police to improve my mood.

Also, it seems that nations that have widespread immunization programs against TB are more resistant to this virus. Meanwhile, certain countries don't immunize their people against TB anymore, and are consequently facing the worst of it. Guess which nations those are...

Mind you that this so far only shows correlation, not necessarily causation. And this comes from the NYIT College of Osteopathic Medicine, so take what they say with a grain of salt - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osteopathy

So is Germany vaccinated then? There must be a reason why the deaths there are so low.
